I make patterns for an apparel company. Have made hundreds of these patterns. Today, I added a patternt to the swatch panel looking exactly how I want it. When I add it to fill the mock up the black sleeves of the artwork jump up front!! I cannot firgure out what happened. I tried this with a pattern I know work and now that is layering backwards as well. Any help is greatly appreciated. Screenshot should help explain this better than this post....

Can you show a screenshot of the appearance panel?

I see now you may have had size tile to fit enabled, and the sleeves hidden.

Not sure how you got the first one, as even playing with overlap I could not get that. 

 

 

I would create a shape like a hexagon, write down the width and height, and use that as a mask before creating your pattern.

That is not a pattern, that is made with Object > Repeat.
