Back to the basics, but with a twist!
Overview
We want to see your take on classic patterns like checkers, tartan, plaid, stripes and dots, reimagined with warping and manipulation techniques. Think directional splicing, twists and bends for an unexpected pop of pattern on apparel and home decor projects.
