So, I decided to make a half drop repeat pattern as the box straight repeat pattern was getting a tad boring all the time.
I got my trusty pug silhouette, and changed the size (to make my life easier) I then wrote down the image pixel height and width (to help later on). I then selected it all and copied it.
I then added the brick offset by clicking filters > other > offset. It then came up with a box where I had to half the horizontal (that I had written down) but kept the vertical at zero so that it would split the pug in half.
split pug (oh no!)
I then pasted the whole pug in the middle of split up pug.
I 'flatten image' the pugs so they were all on one layer, so its easier to make into a pattern.
Once its all one layer, I selected it all then went to edit > define pattern then named it something sensible.
And boom, one mighty fine pug pattern. I opened a new document and went to edit > fill and picked out my pattern.
taa-dah! Pugtastic
