Do you create your own custom patterns or mainly use ones you find online?

I only ever created a clothing design by myself, and that was because Nintendo didn't add my countries national traditional clothing. And I felt the need to have it in game. Other than that, I exclusively use other's people creations for paths!
 
A lot of you guys are so creative :D. I partially use online stuff because most of it is stuff I would have never thought about creating in the first place.
 
100% use ones I can find online. I wish I had the creativity or the artistic ability to create my own! Even if I wanted to, I've used up all 50 slots. When will they give us more......? :censored:
 
I made a couple in HHD and in ACN that I’m using. Atm, I’m only using a few designs that other players made. I downloaded a bunch of outfits to have my villagers use, but then found out that they can’t use them unless the creator remade those designs for this game :/ since the codes were from ACNL or HHD.

Here are the designs I made though:

Most of them are Dragon Age related. The other designs are from FFX, Metal Gear Solid, and Shadow Hearts Covenant. The exclamation and question mark I based on the markers in WoW.

The last one is my poor rendition of the Circle of Magi (mage’s association in Dragon Age) heraldry. I scrapped that together in ACNH for one of my stalls.

As you can see, my AC designing talent is limited and I sadly don’t have the patience to recreate these in the game.

woa that's really good :)
 
I'm not an overly creative person, so I've only made one custom design, to get the Nook Miles. I use other's custom designs for pathing and clothing.
 
I have zero artistic talent, so I mostly use other people's patterns. The only thing I made myself was my island's flag.
 
woa that's really good :)

Thank you so much! :). That means a lot to me and makes me happy that you think so :). I might try making some more designs again eventually, maybe when I’m closer to being done with my island. Right now, I just don’t have as much patience as I did back then lol.

I use a lot of designs from here. I had so much fun dressing up my villagers in HHD in her outfits.
 
I like to consider myself at least a decent artist...

On that note, I can't do custom patterns to save my life, so I just use ones from online.
 
I only use custom clothing, and I mostly just use ones I find online. I've made a couple of dresses to go with the white and black mage's hats, but I'm not really an artist so they're not great.
 
My path and a few other designs I use on the ground of my island are ones I found online.
My flag and some clothing are ones I've made myself. So it's kind of half and half, some are mine others are not.
 
For my island's walkways, I pretty much just use the basic paths because I like the clunking sound of my character's feet on the terracotta and stone. I have however employed the use of custom designs in my two favourite parts of my island, the gym and the forest campsite area. I found both of them online, one from a reddit post about new horizons, and the other from an article in AC World. While I have tried many a time to create a custom pattern, even just making a water puddle for my fishing area turned out to be too hard for me personally 😂 so if I ever really wanted a certain path, i'd probably just end up commissioning the design from one of the talented custom design artists on this site.
 
Some patterns on my island are my own and some are made by other folks. I like to design flags, clothes and textiles but I don't like designing paths. Luckily there are a lot of gorgeous paths out there!
 
I'm trash at making designs so I use ones I find online for my town. But ive started making some very very simple sweater designs to replace the default ones that hang up in Ables cause they were annoying me.
 
I make my own so far since I’m really picky sometimes.
Although I might use some patterns from online.
