This book is lovely! It is very informative with explaining how to create patterns, but is also chock full of pages and pages of pretty patterns. Even if you know how to already create patterns, it is worth it for the amazing inspiration and projects in here. 10/10

A great resource if you're wanting to know the process to create a pattern. However, if you are absolutely brand new to this, there's not enough information... She talks just very very briefly about how to make patterns in Adobe. I didn't find those parts very helpful because they were pretty sparse. I did like seeing her inspiration and how she changed the reference photos into something that aligned with her style. I'll probably flip back through the book if I need a little inspiration.
