- Blend & Layer
- Use one brush for base texture, then overlay finer ones for highlights or folds (e.g. use cotton base, then denim or canvas for wear).
- Adjust opacity, size jitter, or smudge to soften transitions.
- Adjust Pressure Curves
- In Brush Settings > “Apple Pencil” section, tweak the pressure curve to get softer or stiffer lines.
- For very light fabric effects, lower the “minimum pressure” threshold.
- Combine with masks & clipping masks
- Use a base color on a layer, then clip these brushes onto it to preserve clean edges.
Why This Brush Pack Stands Out
- Many “fabric” brush packs overpromise but under-deliver (lots of redundant or low-quality brushes).
- This set delivers focused, usable brushes designed specifically for clothing and costumes.
- Because it’s free, you can test it risk-free and see whether it fits your workflow.
License & Usage Rights

- No resale or redistribution: You may not repackage the brushes themselves or sell them in unmodified form.

FAQs
Q: Are these brushes compatible with other apps like Photoshop or Clip Studio?
A: They are built for Procreate (.brush, .brushset). Some apps might allow importing or converting them, but performance/behavior may differ.
Q: Can I modify the brushes (e.g. change grain or shape)?
A: Yes. Once imported into Procreate, you can customize brush settings (grain, opacity, spacing). However, if you redistribute, you must follow the license (no selling the brush files themselves).
Q: Are there updates or more brushes added later?
A: Possibly. Check the original download page for updated versions. If you subscribed or follow the creator, you’ll be notified of patches or additions.
Q: I’m new to Procreate—will this set work for me?
A: Absolutely. The brushes are easy to use. Start with a base brush (like cotton or canvas) and build texture gradually. Adjust settings as you go.
Q: The file didn’t load—how do I fix it?
A: Make sure to unzip the folder if it’s compressed (e.g. .zip) before importing. If Procreate doesn’t recognize it, verify the file extension is .brushset or .brush.
