Here’s a creased fabric mockup that works well for a textile pattern, a surface design and similar projects.
Surface pattern designers and textile designers tend to get the most out of files like this. One thing worth knowing: if the print looks too sharp, a very slight blur (0.3 px) makes it sit into the fabric.
Print-on-demand shops use images like this for listings, so the realism of the folds matters more than people think. Add a hoodie or sweatshirt shot next to it and you have a basic collection page.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this fabric mockup for client work?
Pixelbuddha sets the licence, and it can differ from file to file. Many free files allow personal and commercial use, but some are personal-only or ask for credit. Read the terms on the download page before a paid project.
How do I put my artwork on the fabric?
Find the smart object layer (it has a small icon on its thumbnail), double-click it, place your design, then save and close that tab.
Do I need Photoshop?
Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.
Does the print follow the fabric folds?
Better apparel mockups use a displacement map or warp so the print follows the wrinkles. Check the preview: if the folds show through the logo, it does.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Pixelbuddha gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
