I used the Summit Peak to start with! Open the listing website page for the pattern you want to use, click on the listing picture with the line drawings to select it, right click, and select “Copy Image.” We’ll start with the line drawings! All New Horizons Designs patterns have the line drawings on the listing page, so you can do this even with patterns you don’t own (yet!) What we are going to do is put a line drawing on one pane, or layer, color another layer with a fabric image, and then remove all of the fabric image except for the part that will show through the line drawing where we want to see it. The panes are stacked in order, so the parts of the image on the bottom panes can only be seen through the areas with no drawings on them on the top panes. Each pane of glass can have part of an image drawn on it, and then the panes are stacked so that you can see the complete image by looking through all of them. If you’re not familiar with layers in the digital drawing sense, they are essentially like panes of glass.
Increase the pixel size for a larger work area and choose “Color” for the Background color, this will put your project on a white background so it’s a little easier to see.Īnd this is FireAlpaca! We will mostly be using a few of the buttons on the left side, the Edit and Select menus, and what will become a list of layers on the right side. The first thing to do is open the File menu and click New to start a new project. Then open it from your start menu, click ok to close the only ad it pops up, and you’re ready to start! Once it downloads, run it by double clicking on it and follow the prompts to install it.
It’s completely free and available for Windows or Macs, and it’s called FireAlpaca! To download it, on your desktop computer go to and select the version you want, and the language.
You can do this on many different software programs, but I’m using a free one with the best name ever. Hi! This is Amanda and today I’m going to show you how to add fabric images to line drawings of sewing patterns so you can see them before you sew them! I will warn you, it’s hard to stop once you start, making digital clothes is almost as much fun as making real ones, though with the major downside being that you can’t wear them!
