Learn to make patterns like a pro
This masterclass covers everything: history, tools, fundamentals, mindset, best practices, and applied skills. I’ve made it based on almost 20 years of working with patterns and developing the pattern design tool Repper. I hope you’ll find it useful in your pattern journey.
Have fun,
Wouter

How to use the modules
- Module 1 (history): You can start here or skip it if you prefer to get hands-on first.. The other modules do not depend on it, but this historic overview will give more context and depth to your work as you learn about the more practical sides of pattern-making.
- Module 2 (tools): I highly recommend checking chapter 1 and 2 if you haven’t used Repper before. They’re easy and it makes sure you can take the exercises in the rest of the masterclass. Chapter 3 and 4 are more for browsing to find other useful tools to fit into your design process.
- Module 3 (foundation): Here is where we’re getting serious about patterns! These chapters are best done in order and are a bit longer. You may want to even do single chapters in two sittings.
How Repper fits into the masterclass
Most of this masterclass is relevant for pattern design in any software (or even paper). That said, I recommend using Repper alongside this masterclass, since many videos and exercises here feature it. Its simplicity lets you focus on design instead of complex tools. For more info, check out M2.1・Meet Repper.
You can try it free for two weeks (no strings attached), and use code MASTERCLASS for 20% off.
