Using Procreate to Pick Fabrics for your Project

Рет қаралды 4,592

Күн бұрын

If you just can't decide what fabric to pick for your next project and you have Procreate, you can quickly 'interview' fabrics without cutting in to any of it.
This technique can also be used to visualize your capsule wardrobe plans, see one garment in multiple fabrics on the same page, or maybe even check out how a garment will look on another person.
All you need (besides Procreate which is an ipad app but there is phone version) is a few photos of the fabrics you want to test and a photo of your pattern drawing (or a drawing you've created in Procreate).
Procreate beginner friendly!

About Sew Sew Live
Hi I'm Saremy!
My sewing style is a combination of garment industry factory floor speediness combined with some of the nice details of home sewing. It's not about being fast but about being efficient and confident. There's more than one way to get there!
Check out my Welcome video pinned to my landing page to see a glimpse of my background and experience. Currently I like sewing live with you, helping with your projects, talking construction, fit, pattern drafting and all things in between. Everyone is welcome here! No matter your ability, size, race, religion, orientation, or gender. All curious humans are welcome here! Why do I do this? I just want to share the skills I've learned over the years while I continue to learn even more!
Sponsors
Are you a fabric store or pattern company and you'd like to promote a pattern and/or fabric? I can sew your project live and you'll have How-To videos for your customers. We really appreciate patterns that include as many sizes as possible! Currently there is no cost except sending the project following my guidelines. Once I cut and sew it live on camera you get the project back in the size you requested. If you want to make a donation that would be much appreciated since ad revenue on KZfaq is pretty tiny.

Really enjoying learning some of the shortcuts you use with procreate!! I've been playing with it for a few weeks for this very purpose, but haven't learned many basic maneuvers. The one thing I did discover that is super useful for trying out many different pattern mixing combos easily is "clipping masks". Thanks for this video!!

@SewSewLive 3 жыл бұрын

Oh yes! The masks are great! I love using them when I’m drawing. I’m kind of a beginner but I’m not sure how I’d use a clipping mask for a photo. I’m definitely going to investigate further!

Saremy, I just "found you" yesterday, listening to the Love to Sew podcast. AND I just got an ipad Pro with Procreate and this is something I hadn't even thought about Procreate doing for me - and something I spend way too much time thinking and re-thinking: "This pattern with this fabric? No, this fabric. No, this pattern." This was the first video I saw on your youtube feed, and you have no idea how thrilled I am. It's an amazing idea, thank you for passing it along! BTW, I think you have lived my dream, and now I'm a little older and decided it may be a little late to get into fashion school and the industry, but I do love hearing from someone who did. Thanks, I'll be around!

I have searched for this video the whole sunday and finally i found it again!!!! i am soooo over the moon. 🥳🥳🥳i was thinking about colorblocking a top with two fabrics from my stash but was not sure about it but then i remembered this amazing tutorial that I watched some time ago that showed how to mock up fabrics on linedrawings of sewing patterns, but i really could not remember the channel where i saw it on. so i was trying so hard to come up with the search terms that would lead me back to your video and finally i made it! now its saved in one of my playlists for any future reference! 😊 thank you so much for the content you put out there, i also really love your #fridaysews videos. 🤗🤗 sending many thanks and wishing you all the best!

Oh I’ve been there!! I feel like outsmarting a search engine is becoming a legitimate skill! Good luck!! I’ve learned a few tricks since this and I should do an update. Cheers!

@stephaniethomson9531 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you Saremy! I've been thinking for ages that there must be a way to visualize fabrics with patterns (it's what I struggle the most with)... and while I've had Procreate for years I never thought to use it for that! 💡💡💡ps There's an alpha mask that you could use instead of erasing around the line drawing.

@SewSewLive 3 жыл бұрын

I wish I could take credit for this but I saw a woman on Instagram do this! @ellifolks_sews Admittedly is used procreate to make my own cutting layouts 🤣 The alpha layer won’t work in this case. But I love using that tool. Well I say that and maybe there’s a way. I could be wrong. But the way I know how to use the alpha layer is it only preventing anything I add to that layer staying on the object. I’ll act to think about this. Now you say it I must try it!

@lisahurst8565 3 жыл бұрын

This is such a cool idea! I am going to try it. Thanks for the tutorial. I'm kind of new to Procreate. Your ending was kind of abrupt. Was that on purpose?

@SewSewLive 3 жыл бұрын

Yes it was. I didn’t record an ending and I kind of figured shorter is always better! 😁 so I went with it.
