"Our goal for this tutorial is to draw a realistic leather briefcase entirely from scratch. We'll use Photoshop's amazing layer styles and incredible brush engine to create textured leather, convincing stitches and gold-plated locks. Let's get started!" Andrea Austoni

    Hi Gavin,

    Thank you for your contribution!
    Instead of rotating or adjusting the angle of the brush to have the stitches of the purse in the right direction you could also go hit F5 goto “Shape Dynamics” > activate “Angle Jitter” and set it to “Direction” with 0% and do the stitches along the paths again. Okay the edges maybe still have to be tweaked a bit but its a bit faster that way.

    regards
    Martin
