Cards, gift wrap, fabric...there are so many ways to get more value from and make the most of your sketches. I have sewn many things from my sketches, but one of my favourites has been fabric. Not only have I designed the lining of my SketchPockets with my own designs but I even parade around the place wearing my designs as skirts and other apparel! I even force my children to wear my designs too...not that they always acquiesce!
I wish I could talk you through the process for turning your designs into a .png that you can play with, but it's above my pay grade: if you;re hoping to get computer advice from me, things have come to a pretty pass indeed. But you can learn the same way I did, through watching online tutorials.
What I can share with you however, is how to turn your sketches into monochrome images that will look super on a piece of cloth, starting with sketches you have already done. What you do with it is up to you!
Simplify - but not too much - and express yourself. I hope this video is helpful for you on your creative journey, or at the very least gives you ideas.
One more thing - if you've read this far then you are not one of the transgressors - but I get lots of comments asking me about my brands...from people who haven't watched the whole videos. So please watch the whole thing before you ask me what brands I use. I always, or nearly always, mention them!
And...have fun!
See you next time,

This looks like so much fun, what a wonderful idea ☺☺
What a fun idea! I loved seeing how to use the ink as paint to make a monochrome. I’m very into black and white with my photographers now for some reason, but the crab looks fabulous in the Frieda ink.
@@janed.9907 funny I was just thinking, it would be great to use a b&w filter for sketches or photos, then make tonal sketches from them ❤️
So much fun to watch and think about doing; thank you!
@@EileenAlston yes it is! 🥰
This is fabulous Roisin, I really would like to have a go at a project of pattern making and sewing.
Thank you for sharing
@@lorrainemanning3809 you should, I know almost nothing about graphic design but it’s not hard. And you can teach yourself everything you need to know about manipulating your sketch by googling it.
Roisin this couldn’t have come at a better time!! Thank you so much for sharing your ins and outs. So much experience we get to leech off you!
I’m very happy to hear that! ❤
That is awesome! Thank you so much for this! I love your artwork. So inspiring! ❤
@@blueviolets2022 my pleasure!
Interesting! I didn't know you could do this! Thank you!
Right?! So much fun!
How cool!!! Thanks for the lovely idea!!! I'd love to try to collage a trip's drawings/paintings onto a fabric!
The possibilities are endless! ❤
Crabs are such fun to draw aren’t they? Thanks for the tips at the end . I need to see what I could make into fabric now.
@@marielouiseweeksb33attitud33 I can do better than that - ran out of steam, and daylight, and the dog was fed up with me 🤣
What an exciting idea to do. Thanks for the inspiration.😊
I hope you give it a try!
What a great idea, so lovely! Thanks Róisín... 😊
You’ll have loads of fun if you try this ❤😊
What s wonderful idea
@@annipetratos9401 it’s a lot of fun!
Really great idea of using sketches. The lovely Reuben sketches are so cute among the pattern. You could have changed the colors of your crabs sketches in the computer, as a graphic designer and sketcher, I sometimes do that. Is there any reason why you chose to redo them?
lovely!. Do you draw them larger and then scale them down to fit - for example, the illustrations on your daughter's card?
@@amitap2025 I draw around the size you see in the card, usually, and then once you have the scan the fabric website allows your to make it bigger or smaller. They have a ruler beside the design so you can see what size it’ll be. It’s very easy but I often get it wrong just by not measuring properly.
@@roisincure Thats so helpful. Thank you. I discovered your channel just recently and your work is so inspiring😍
