In this FREE workshop series with acclaimed surface pattern designer Bonnie Christine, you’ll learn the essential secrets to breaking into the exciting world of surface pattern design—and how to build a creative business you’ll love, without sacrificing the joy you get from your hobbies.
I know what you might be thinking
What even is surface pattern design?
You know those beautiful papers & fabrics that catch your eye with their
stripes, swirls, florals, and swashes?
Surface Pattern Design
Fabric
Wallpaper
gift wrap
stationery
tape
ribbon
and so much more.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way - here's what I know about you.
You’re one of * those* creative types.
*Your collection of fabrics, papers, vinyls, and other trimmings makes you a card-carrying member of the “crafty” side of society.
And you regularly walk the aisles of any self-respecting home decor store saying,“I could make that,” before ever considering whipping out your debit card.
Because, let’s admit it, there’s little in life that feels quite like getting to say ...
Thing is...
every time you think about turning your craftiness into more of a career, you stop short at the part where you book your calendar with craft shows every Fall, or build out an Etsy shop that makes you a slave to the creative outlet you once loved.
But what if that wasn’t the only way to turn your love of pretty things into a freedom-filled side hustle or full-time business?
effortlessly pivot from personal projects to surface pattern design
You probably don’t want to make your favorite hobby your job—but you might not realize your creative pursuits translate to marketable skills you can take to the bank.
Your eye for design? Your love of color and patterns?
Your appreciation for the perfect gift wrap, statement-making wallpaper, and your collection of fabric you just had to have, but keep saving for the “perfect project”?
It all translates seamlessly to Surface Pattern Design.
And it makes YOU the perfect candidate for a career in this breathtaking (and lucrative) industry.

Don't count yourself out:
You don’t have to be a traditional “artist”
Sure, sketching & drawing are great skills to have, but I’ve seen successful pattern designers create best-selling fabrics, paper, and gift wrap from nothing more than doodles, lines, squiggles, and shapes.
You can draw—pun intended—inspiration from anywhere:
- Flowers, leaves, and other things found in nature
- Traditional, popular, and unexpected color combos
- Food, dessert, candy, and other edible inspiration
- Quilt patterns and woven textiles
- Children’s drawings
- Animal prints and fur patterns
- Cloud & rock formations
- Kiddo stains & pet hair on your couch cushions. (No, but really.)
I am LOVING this workshop SO much!!! The map is EXACTLY what I have been needing because I’m the kind of person that needs help with direction to stay focused and on how to go about approaching my goals. I am so emotional right now with gratitude and thankfulness for this workshop!
Bonnie, I am totally loving this. I’m from Australia and I tuck up with a hot drink and watch once the kids are in bed and I actually feel so much clarity and enjoyment from the sessions. You are amazing!
I love this workshop!!! It is soooo good. I am feeling less stuck. Thank you so much!
After today’s lesson I’m convinced this is the place I should be. I’m doing this! Whether success of failure, it won’t be from a lack of trying. Thank you for everything!!
I've watched every lesson twice and enjoyed it so much. This is life changing!
A Note from Bonnie:
If you’ve heard it once, you’ve probably heard it a thousand times: “You can make money doing something you love.”
But what about when you can’t figure out how?
That’s where I was when I determined that I wanted to be a surface pattern designer. I’d finally put a name to the industry I wanted to break into … but that was it: I had no formal training, no industry connections, and no roadmap for how to achieve success.
Now, I’m teaching the exact workshop I wish existed back in 2010 when I was starting my career.
After working with leading brands, companies and manufactures all over the world—I know what companies are looking for when they source patterns and work with designers.
Not only can I teach you the exact skills you need to do this for a living (and protect your hobbies from being the way you pay the bills), I can break it all down into a step-by-step process that saves you time and energy as you work toward your goal.
So whether you never knew this booming industry was called “surface pattern design” (you learn something new every day!) or you’ve been looking for a way to get into the industry for a while, I designed this workshop for you.
Let me introduce you to one of the fastest ways to transform your creative interests into a source of income.
See you inside!
