How to Use the Align Tool in Illustrator

Well hello there, friends. I haven’t been around much these last couple weeks. The sewing projects have almost slowed to a halt, and I’ve been occupied with other projects. Other projects? What are these OTHER PROJECTS I speak of?! Well, first, I am totally overhauling my blog. I’m doing it the right way this time - test site and all. I’m really pleased with how it’s coming along, and hopefully I’ll be ready to push it live around the first of the year. And second, I’m working on a sewing pattern. YES, a sewing pattern! Finally! And it’s going to be really awesome and different and perhaps even life-changing for some. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, I know you’re just dying to learn how to use the align tool in Illustrator! This tool saves me SO. MUCH. TIME. when working in Illustrator AND InDesign. It’s a quick/easy way to line up objects and distribute them evenly. Yeah, I know! Now watch!
