thank you very much for your knowledge. Currently, I am unable to work outside of the home because of a brain disability but so I am working creativly around my curcumstace.
and who knows what lies ahead. I prefer to live and work at home and I am also finding ways in which that may be possible. To be around other designers is or to learn from them is half the battle. Thanks for helping me do that!!
@@nancyspicer4337 of course!! I am in a place now where I am working from home, too, so it's definitely possible! It helps me to create my TH-cam videos and join Facebook Groups to continue interacting with other designers online. ☺
Hey fools!!! ♡

Haha, yayyyy, glad you liked it!! 🤗

Namastey 🙏🏻, great video, super useful tips for someone like me working on building the textile designing skills. Thank you.
Question: I’ve been working as a computer graphics designer with not much of print experience (only paper print), absolutely no textile design and print experience. So in addition to the steps you’ve already mentioned in your video, do you have any other tips or suggestions for people like me?
Namaste! Thank you so much; I'm so glad you found the video helpful! I'd love to go into more detail for you - would you want to schedule an Instagram Live Video call to discuss? If yes, please email me at LaurenLesleyStudio@gmail.com and we'll arrange a time. Thank you!! 💕
Am too old to become a textile designer now, but your tutorial is excellent and inspirational. Thanks for sharing. Have subscribed. (Diane J)
Excellent, Diane! I'm so glad you found it helpful :)
You're never too old to do anything, you can do it ;)
@@Pyxelles That's a very nice thing to say. Thank you!(Diane)
Hi Lauren, thanks for sharing these wonderful tips. Lately, there have been many designers using procreate for surface pattern designs. Would you recommend Procreate for creating designs?
Hi there! You're so welcome! At the time I recorded this video, I didn't have an iPad Pro, but now I do and I absolutely LOVE using Procreate. So yes, I'd highly recommend it. I typically draw my motifs in Procreate, then export to Photoshop to finish my repeat pattern. Hope that helps!
@@LaurenLesley Thank you so much. I'm trying to avoid a Photoshop/Illustrator subscription at the moment.Would Procreate as a standalone app suffice? or Procreate +affinity?
@@willowtree5176 yes, Affinity Photo! I recently bought both Affinity Designer and Photo. You can use them on the iPad, too, and they're so inexpensive compared to Adobe. Adobe has really annoyed me with their subscription model, but I still have Photoshop, b/c there are still some features Affinity doesn't have. But if you're not already hooked on Adobe, go with Affinity! I'd highly recommend them.
@@LaurenLesley Thanks Lauren!
Hi! Lauren! Thanks I like the way you tell your history. I´m trying to get a jog in Canadá or London, but it´s too difucult to a company sponsor, so what can you suggest?
Hi Guetta! I wanted to let you know that I'm offering a Free Training in Textile Design (just in case you're interested)! 😊

What about the procreate app for iPad would that work instead of Adobe illustrator?
I love Procreate for creating motifs! And you can make patterns in Procreate to get started, for sure. If you want to work with professional companies, however, they will probably want a Photoshop file. You can export to PSD from Procreate so it’s possible. The only limitation is that Procreate limits the # of layers at higher dpi. Make sure to work in 300 dpi and something like 10x10 inches. It could work. :)
omg you look like Lana Del Ray sorry had to say it....great channel ! My issue is always getting freelance career going, it seems impossible to reach out to companies.
Oh, you are so sweet, thank you! 😅 Yes, freelancing can be tough when you are getting started. Best of luck to you, my friend!
Lauren Lesley thank you beautiful 🙏🏻😊 just subscribed keep up good work
@@user-ft6bq9wd6r Thank you!! That means so much to me.
Could you show us your portfolio? I graduated with a degree in textile design in May and the big job hunt is getting really disheartening
Yes, definitely! I am planning on recording a new TH-cam video all about how to build a great portfolio. :) Right now, I'm pretty overloaded with work and planning a wedding so it might be a month or two before I can finish this video. I'm sorry you're having a hard time with the job hunt! Where are you looking?

Thank you very much, but you already have the artistic and graphics background. What about for those of us who don't have that background and old? I need the knowledge for myself not to look for a job.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean. You want to learn textiles as a hobby?
@@LaurenLesley Thank you, for your response. I want to learn to print and sell my own fabric online.
Hi Lauren thankyou soo much for this inspiring video got to learn much ❤
Question :- i have been persuing bfa in textile designing and now am in final year and my mind is full of questions that what next i have to do can u plz help me with some online courses links
Congratulations!! Sure, what kind of courses do you want to take? I have some on my website at www.laurenlesley.com 🤗
Mam plz guide me I am pursuing phd but I m serach my topic plz suggest me what I choose in surface pattern designers
Hi Indu! Just try something that sounds fun to you. Maybe florals or geometrics?
Is there any reason(s) I can’t paint my designs, send the high resolution photo of it to a fabric company, and have them print or weave it on the fabric of my choice - and sell it online by special order?
hey Becky, I'm not aware of any fabric companies that offer this service. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.. it's certainly possible!
It may not be exactly the same but u can try Spoonflower
Hey... I m persuing textile design from my country India. I m 22 years old and I m dependent on my parents financially. So can you please suggest me any freelance work for the same industry so it would help me to grow for the both financial and career😊
Hi Parul! I'm not sure about freelance work as in my experience freelance work has always come through relationships I had already built through previous jobs and work experience.
You may like to try Upwork as many freelancers like to work on this site. Otherwise, you may try print on demand sites like Society 6, Deny Designs, RedBubble, Zazzle, Patternbank, Spoonflower, etc. Best of luck! 💖
Hi Lauren my daughter textile desiner digree holder need job please rply
Best of luck! I’m not involved in recruiting for jobs, but I wish you lots of success. :)
