“I’ve been storing my paper patterns for years in boxes under my bed or stuffed in drawers and it honestly stresses me out. After taking Tammy’s mini course, I digitised my very first pattern in less than two hours. It’s a HUGE relief knowing it’s safe and ready to print again whenever I want. I feel so organised and loved learning Adobe Illustrator!!
