How to Use AI to Create Flat Sketches for Sample Production
1️⃣ Why Fashion Startups Struggle with Flat Sketches
Creating high-quality flat sketches is harder than it looks — especially for fashion founders without a technical background.
😫 Common Pain Points:
Brand founders often face:
❌ Reference images get misinterpreted by manufacturers
❌ Uncertainty about copyright when modifying existing designs
❌ No Illustrator skills to create tech pack sketches
2️⃣ What Is a Flat Sketch in Fashion Design?
A flat sketch, also known as a technical drawing, is a simplified front and back view of your garment—drawn without perspective or stylization—to clearly communicate construction details to manufacturers. Think of it as the two-dimensional blueprint of your design.
Unlike artistic fashion illustrations, flat sketches prioritize precision and clarity. They are essential for communicating stitch lines, pockets, seam placements, and other detail-oriented elements in your tech pack.
