20 Seamless Plaid Patterns for Illustrator

20 Seamless Plaid Patterns for Illustrator

You may remember several months back when I became obsessed with plaid patterns. During that time I released several sets of plaid patterns and even wrote a couple tutorials [ 1, 2 ] on the subject. Since then, I’ve pursued some other interests on this site but I’ve always wanted to return and create some new plaid patterns for you guys to use.

The first set of plaids that I released on this site turned out fairly well in my opinion but to be honest I was never fully satisfied with how the second set of plaids turned out. In the second set, I decided to add a twill overlay on to the patterns but not all of the sets turned out exactly how I imagined. In fact, some of the twills didn’t repeat seamlessly which is something I always had a problem with.

That is why today I am releasing a set of 20 Seamless Plaid Patterns for Illustrator. Each pattern swatch is completely vector and can be used for just about any purpose including fashion design, graphic design, package design, web design, or whatever else you can think up. You may download these swatches below for Illustrator CS and above.

    Thanks for posting this… but when I downloaded them and tried to open the AI in Illustrator CS4, there’s nothing there! :(

    Mike, when you open the file make sure that you open the swatch palette. When you do that you will see all patterns listed there.

    Grant, how did you give the swatches in the image at the top of the page such a realistic texture? I am guessing that you added a texture to the swatch in Illustrator, right? If so, which texture did you use?

    Heather,

    I brought the objects into Photoshop and added a texture overlay on top of the layer.
