Creating design elements, and then adding, subtracting, and dragging them around to come up with the layouts I had in mind. I usually create new files for each new design, but as you can see here, I did most of my recent kit designs on the same palette.
What you can't see is what I cropped out -- the work on this palette that is to the right, just out of view.... I've got this idea that I just can't shake, but it's taking me a while to make it happen just as I imagine it... It's not a new kit, I don't think, but definitely a new project. I'm really excited about it... Hoping to make it happen in the next few weeks. !!!

What software do you use to design your patterns? I've always wanted to try to design something but have no idea where to start. thanks. :)
Jillian, I use Illustrator. I just copy and paste (and copy and paste and copy and paste) little x's inside the grid view til I get my pattern. I HIGHLY doubt that this is the best way of going about pattern making.. There must be specific software for it somewhere, but this wacky system I have is the only way I know...
Thank you for sharing your design process, Kimberly! I have tried to find a software for my designs, but I have yet to find one that works for me. For now I'll just have to stick to graph paper and pencil!
