One trick I use for designing alphas is using a pixel art app to draw the design (the app I'm using is called dotpict). Then I use "alpha from picture" to turn it into a pattern.
This way I don't accidentally loose my progress when accidentally clicking a wrong button in the pattern generator. I can move parts of the design around more easily and I can just copy and paste repeating parts.

For designing normal patterns I either use graph paper to draw the pattern (here's a tutorial https://www.braceletbook.com/tutorials/34_designing-normal-patterns/) or an app on my computer (I learned about it in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z-POel3rUA)

I haven't seen many patterns of a sky with a rainbow and clouds. I think that would be a really nice pattern. 🙂

one tip is to also save the pattern you are working on. it work like this. when you are working on a pattern and you made a design and you forgot to save it then it will go back to the original design that it was last saved on 👍
