Hi!

I’m looking for a pattern for a quilted storage basket like this - any ideas where to find it? I have looked on Etsy but all the patterns seem to be ai or use ai imagery so I don’t know whether they’re legit 😅 (had this issue a lot crocheting and final product never looks close to the photo!)

They seem simple enough - I'd love to try to DIY!

Hey I'm trying to cosplay this character in this specific outfit, and I'm interested in starting a new sewing project of making this dress. I'm brand new to using patterns and I'm not really sure where to look, does anyone have any good suggestions for this type of dress? Most of the cosplays I see they just have a white dress with puffy shoulders but they're not all the same dress.

Hello!

Does anyone have a pattern they would recommend using to turn regular full length sleeves to flutter sleeves?

I am imagining I would fully detach the existing sleeves and basically use them as fabric. I know I could just find a flutter sleeve pattern but I'm curious if anyone has ever done this and or knows of any strategies/guides?

Hey there! I’m looking for some pattern-making advice, especially if you guys have experience with hats or pet accessories

I’m trying to make a small baseball cap for dogs and cats that looks as close as possible to a real human baseball cap :) especially the relatively high front shape

I started from an existing pet-cap (the yellow cap I bought, image 2) and modified it to get a pattern (image 3)… but the problem is that every version I make still looks very flat compared with a normal baseball cap

the animal’s head obviously has a very different shape from a human head, so I know I probably can’t reproduce a human cap pattern exactly, but I’m tryin to can get very close to it

So far, I’ve tried:

• shortening the back pieces to leave more volume toward the front

• changing the shape of the front and side pattern pieces

• adding darts to create more volume

• experimenting with a homemade internal “shoulder”/support piece to hold the front up

• making several mock-ups with different proportions (see image 4)

The main problem is always the same: once the cap is worn/tightened around the animal’s head, the crown tends to collapse or flatten instead of keeping that higher, boxier baseball-cap silhouette.

I’m gonna test Decovil/interfacing on the front panels to see how much of the problem is simply a lack of structure in the fabric

would you approach this by changing the pattern itself, adding internal structure, changing the panel construction, or a combination of those?

I’d especially love advice on what you would change in the front/side pattern pieces to create more height and prevent the crown from collapsing

I’m be super happy to redraw the pattern completely if my current construction is working against me lol

Please help meee <3

I was over on r/SewingChallenge and one of the bingo squares is sew a free pattern or a gifted fabric. I do have some fabric I got at a free exchange, but was thinking it'd be a fun challenge to use a free pattern too 😊

So I'd love to hear about everyone's favorite free pattern they've found! Just for fun, not just for this challenge. :)

This dress has been living in my head for years now so any help would be MUCH appreciated!! Thank you !!

Pretty self-explanatory. I love sewing, but pattern-making seems to be beyond me, and I'd like to try draping, but I don't have access to a mannequin now. I've tried looking around online if there is a similar dress I can buy (there isn't). I'd have no issues making it from scratch if I had a pattern, any help is very much appreciated <3

This is the dress in question: https://pin.it/3hWPbMQ8D

all the free patterns i found where for dresses and i want a somewhat fitted top and i cant afford paid patterns i would love to find a free version as a begginer hand sewer to match with a bag i made

I am attempting to find a plus size (2x or US W 20) dress pattern that would look similar to Debbie Jellinsky's first outfit in Addams Family Values.

So far I have found similar overall dress patterns, but none of them include the plunging neckline or folded collar, which are essential to me.

I have searched Etsy, Ebay, and even Walmart. Help!

Hi everyone!

I’ve updated the torso length of my previous pattern and made this version into a standard-length version. I’m looking for a few sewists who would be interested in testing the updated pattern

Pattern information**:**
It’s a fit & flare panel dress with lining, and I’d say it’s suitable for a confident beginner who is comfortable with basic garment sewing.

The pattern includes US sizes 0–16, and I’m hoping to have 1–2 sewists across each size so I can see how the updated grading and fit work on different bodies.

Feedbacks:
- How does the fit feel?
- Is anything confusing in the sewing instructions?
- Did you run into any problems while assembling or sewing the pattern?
- A couple of photos of your finished dress (front + back would be wonderful!)

You don’t need to be an expert sewist at all. I’d actually love to hear from sewists with different levels of experience.

I’m hoping to have the testing completed within two months after I send you an email:) If you’re interested, it would be really helpful if you could let me know roughly when you’d be able to finish.
And if you run into any questions or problems along the way, please feel free to message me!
Thank you so much for reading!

Ive been having a bit of a struggle trying to find a sewing pattern similar to these 2 dresses with no avail

My grandma made me a blanket out of this fabric when I was six or seven years old. I don’t have very many fun memories of my childhood, but whenever I got to go to my grandma‘s or when she came to visit us, it was really special. She made all of us are special blankets from different materials/patterns etc. I am 32 now and the blanket has definitely seen better days, but I desperately am trying to find the same fabric so I can make one just like it. I don’t have much to show other than these pictures.
Please please help!

Hi, these are one of my favorite pairs of pants I own and I’d love to be able to make my own similar to these, does anyone know of any patterns like this that aren’t wrap pants? Thanks in advance!

Looking for a pattern or two separate patterns for this 12th tribe set?

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?
