I am so excited to share my NEW pattern design library collection that I have been working on behind the scenes for a couple of months - is now live on my website.
I share below how it all came about as well as some frequently asked questions. I will create separate journal posts on each collection to share my inspiration with each collection.
How did the Pattern Design Library Collection come about?
I had done a few weekend classes such as ceramics as well a mosaic workshop recently, they where so much fun and it really fueled my soul made me realise how much I missed my art classes during school as well as my fine arts course I had done after high school.
I was then trying to find an art course, that I can do on a regular basis just for fun and as another creative outlet.
Fast forward after a few months later I couldn’t find a class that suited me - so, I stoped looking for a class to do. I then came across surface pattern design through instagram and I started looking further into it as it intrigued me, one thing led to another I then followed my inner guidance to create a Pattern Design Library. I had initially started creating all the designs for it all on the ipad / computer, just when I had completed them, ready to upload 4 collections with around 6 pattern designs in each to my website, something didn’t feel right and I scraped these designs.
Intuitively I then picked up traditional style mediums to draw / paint by hand such as colouring pencils, ink, oil pastel crayons, acrylic, watercolour pens as well as markers to experiment with and found I was getting lost for hours creating. It was a total meditative, flow state which brought back that feeling I had experienced before while in my previous art classes many years ago
I am grateful I did start again, even if the process of creating off the iPad / computer is a longer process (then the scanning artwork, cleaning etc that is involved). That joy and feeling of creating freehand lit my soul in such a powerful way that felt right for me and hence I can see why my inner guidance led me to scrap my initial designs done.
Who are the pre-design pattern designs for?
My pattern designs are suited for lifestyle brands such as (Fashion, Homeware, Gifting, Baby & Kids etc) that can exclusively license my bespoke designs in there product category and use on surfaces for the products such as apparel, swimwear, scarfs, accessories, stationery, bedding etc.
If your business is not ready for custom design my pre-designed patterns from the collection may suit your brand and is also a great solution if you require something quickly.
How does it work?
It’s free to apply to access and view my private Pattern Library Collection, however each application is reviewed and a approval process is in place. Please allow 24 - 48 hours AEST / business days for your password to be sent to you if you have been accepted.
Once in the library If you’ve found a pattern you love from my collection, add to cart and purchase the pattern design! I will be in contact with you via email and then send your repeat seamless pattern or print design.
When purchasing a pattern from my Pattern Print Library Collection, you are granted a Exclusive license to use on (1) one category product use and can use the design forever. If you require to use across different categories you will require a multiple use license (pending on availability) and you can reach out to let me know if so, prior to purchase.

Will another brand be able to use the same design?
The design will not be licensed to another brand in the same category product use. For example: If the design has already been licensed to a swimwear brand, another swimwear brand will not be able to license it. The same design however in a different product category use such as homeware etc can license it at the same time.
If you love a pattern design but you would like it customised for your brand?
If you require customisation such as scale or elements removed to the design, prior to purchasing a pattern or print design please get in contact with me at hello@effieanadesign.com to discuss further. If you require changes hourly design fee applies, however some designs include 1 round of colour changes if required.
Is a pattern or print design from the collections available as a individual design or sold as a collection ?
Each pattern design from my collection is licensed individually (not as a collection) for each design it is listed on each pattern the license fee. If you would like them all as a collection feel free to reach out and chat to me.
How often will you be adding new patterns or collections?
I currently have 2 collections at the moment in my library. My aim is to add new collections every 4- 6 weeks.
Thank you for reading,
