Vintage Patterns

Patterns! You get very addictive with making patterns and it´s a bit hard sometimes to get inspired to make new combinations as there are so many creators here. You would think that it is simple but I have seen when I´ve been making one pattern that it has already been done and this means it´s better to start a new one. This happens now and then.

I found a website some time ago with Vintage wallpaper patterns from 1910-1980. Many pages with little pictures of the actual pattern close-up. But unfortunately many of them are hard to transfer into a pattern for the game as it´s too big or there are too many colors and to try and just get it together just makes it blurry or smudgy.

But some are very nice and usable. Here are 3 examples I have done. One is already published and the other 2 I have submitted.

I made 3 versions of the Delicate flower from 1920. On rough cloth, normal cloth and on leather.

I hope you will like these different textures. I think it looks great in the brown but you can of course create a style yourself. This I find is a great feature in Sims 3. For example here is a pattern I´m working on right now. I´m testing it in CAS

You can really get a different look with different colors combinations.

When I pick the colors for the pattern when it´s finished I usually use this site: Color Scheme Designer 3

 I will continue to make patterns from this site, I have a few in making right now.
