Fashion flats need clear construction details. Seams, hems, stitching, zippers and edge lines help explain how a garment is built. Procreate stitch brushes make those details faster to add and easier to keep consistent across a collection.
What are fashion flats?
Fashion flats are technical clothing sketches usually drawn without a posed figure. They show the garment clearly from the front, back or side so the design can be understood by teachers, clients, pattern makers or production teams.
Why stitch brushes help
Drawing every stitch by hand can take a long time. It can also look inconsistent if spacing changes across the garment. Stitch brushes solve this by repeating the detail evenly as you draw.
Best stitch details for flats
- Topstitching for denim and jackets
- Hem stitching for skirts, trousers and sleeves
- Seam lines for panels and garment construction
- Pocket stitching for shirts, jeans and bags
- Decorative stitches for corsets and fashion details
Workflow in Procreate
Start with the garment outline. Add construction lines on a new layer. Use the stitch brush above the main garment layer so you can erase, resize or recolor it without changing the base drawing.
Keep the design readable
Do not overfill the flat with stitch details. Use them where they explain construction or style. Clean spacing and subtle contrast usually look more professional than heavy black stitches everywhere.
