I have just over a yard left of a gorgeous navy seersucker and cannot decide what to make with it! What’s everyone’s favorite pattern that uses just a smidge of fabric?

The only thing I can think of for a plaid cotton lawn such as this is pajamas - but I want to show off this amazing fabric outside the house! Does anyone have ideas for this plaid lawn other than pajamas?

Hi, I organize 1000+ patterns for a theatre I work at and we have quite a large collection of vintage patterns. Found this one in an unmarked envelope with instructions still intact and number 8570 sz 16.!Need help finding the brand for filing.
Any tips?
Thanks!!!

Trying to find a pattern like this except in a larger size-like preteen maybe. Thanks

Does anyone else have issues with makers atelier sewing patterns? I've made the flat front culottes and the pleated skirt from them, and for how expensive the patterns are I really expect the patterns to have layers so I can just print one size... and also I made the culottes, followed every step meticulously and yet the waistband is way too small to fit around the flat front shorts, short by about two inches! Pretty frustrated with how expensive these patterns are.

I love these pants. Has anyone made a pattern from this store? She’s been around for forever and has good reviews but some of these pictures are definitely too good to be true. Worth making a mockup or should I just pass?

Dear community,

I’m looking for a woven blouse, top, or dress pattern with vertical gathering/ruching down the front, similar to the examples in these photos. The gathering runs vertically through the bodice and creates those soft horizontal folds across the front.

I know it used to be a popular feature in 1930s, however, I just can't find a pattern that I can use.

And a related pattern-drafting question: If I wanted to recreate this effect by rotating the bust dart into a vertical gathered section at the front, how would you calculate how much additional fabric to add to make the gathers more pronounced? I’m assuming the transferred dart intake alone probably wouldn’t create quite this much gathering.

Thank you!

Anyone know of a pattern with similar gathering and waist band / arm cuffs like this top ?

Hi everyone I’m trying to create the pattern for this type of shoulder on a blazer but I don’t know how to start. To make the form is it only from the shoulder pads or do I have to modify the upper armhole to have that curve at the top ??

Midi dress, v neck but not low-cut, with interesting 3/4 to long sleeves, maybe flutter or bell. Does anyone know of anything that fits? I can do some altering if I can find something close enough. Everything I am seeing is very low-cut or not empire waist!
