🎨 How to Combine Two Patterns in One Design
Tips for stylish pattern mixing in Pocket Styler Studio
Using two patterns at once isn’t a mistake — it’s an opportunity to make your design more interesting! The key is to choose and place them thoughtfully. Here’s how to do it right:
✅ How to combine patterns beautifully:
✨ 1. Separate by areas
Assign each pattern to different parts of the design.
For example:
- Pattern 1 — on “right leg” and “left leg” layers
- Pattern 2 — on “lining” or “waist” layers
This way, patterns won’t clash but will highlight the garment’s shape.
🎯 2. Mind the scale
If one pattern is large and bold, make the other smaller and subtle.
This creates balance and avoids visual overload.
🎨 3. Keep color harmony
Patterns should share at least one color to link them together visually.
Tip: You can adjust colors after copying the pattern as a brush.
⚡ 4. Use contrasts wisely
Mix stripes with florals, checks with abstracts — yes!
But only if applied on separate layers without overlapping.
💡 5. Play with transparency
Reduce the opacity of one pattern to create a subtle background effect.
🎯 Useful to know:
This approach works great for lined clothes, layered skirts, suits, and accessories.
📌 Don’t be afraid to experiment — Pocket Styler Studio gives you plenty of flexibility to try new ideas!
