I've signed up

[savethebeer]

Just a simple statement, I've signed up' but what it means is I'm going to learn how to make patterns. Now I've placed that in the ether I cant give up like I did before. Now I'm off to the SSV University at age 60.

Great! I bet you finish #1 in your class.  Oh, we don't accept dropouts in the Village. Hehe

Good luck and it is never to old to learn something new

IF by chance you have chosen Inkscape, here is an excellent place to start.

74 and I've been playing around with it some.  Not everything on my computer works quite the same as  the class shows.  Not sure if it is new version of Gimp or because I am working on a Mac.  I'm on lesson 4  and already struggling.... but no rush.  If I die of old age before I learn then it won't matter anyway.

Good for you who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks.  Roly

Great idea, I think I will sign up too.
I know that will make a lot of folks happy, they are bound to be tired of making patterns for me

Kevin we know you never sleep.  

For those giving patterns a try your graduation project I'd a portrait pattern and finished project of yourself.

As everyone here knows I am an expert ......................... at asking for patterns. Well between one thing and another I've been delayed in getting stuck into learning pattern making using GIMP.

My first few efforts have thrown up the following issues;

• Today I adjusted a layer and the pattern finished off with a very yellow hue. I had been messing around with channels before hand but I did not think I changed anything permanently.
• Another issue with layers is when I adjust the pattern, then decide to re-adjust the pattern, the second adjustment  seems to work on the previous adjustment and not bring me back to the  original adjustment. I know its a bad description but I'm trying to ask am I the only one?

I am still learning so what I have been doing is duplicating each layer two or three times so when the pattern goes askew I just delete the whole layer and move onto the next one.

I've been meaning to look into those threads - still so much to learn before I start on patterns

Good for you though! Can't wait to see  your patterns
