I found this really helpful site called Patternhead which provides hundreds of patterns for free, and below are several that I liked and thought I could use on my model. I saved the patterns that were appealing to me, and were a mixture of complex flower patterns and simple geometric shapes as the idea is that Pocahontas asked her grandma to help make her gorilla suit. So the strange miss match designs will represent their different tastes.
In Photoshop I merged the patterns into one piece to resemble a patchwork blanket and applied a craquelure texture, which raised the patterns a little. It now looks much more like several materials sewed together rather than one flat image. Then I added stitching for the finishing touch. I'm quite pleased with the finished design.
