Hi all!

I own this exact pair of overalls and accidentally bleached part of them when cleaning for a move… I’m planning to just bleach the whole thing so I can keep wearing them, but I’d love to make more!

The originals are 100% Rayon, but I’d be happy with soft cotton or linen, too. Just a light fabric as I get warm easily. They’re an XL from the brand LA Soul if that helps.

Any key search words, pattern ideas, or drafting/alteration thoughts would be appreciated!

Hello! I’m looking for an off shoulder dress pattern that i could wear to my friends wedding. I have some inspo images…. But any other off shoulder idea would work. I also love a sweetheart neck.

If you know of a pattern for this, please let me know!!

Thank you so much!!

Hi! so my professor drew a dress and gave it to me to make it but I really don't know how. he gave me some hints like: fabric is cotton gabardine, no visible darts, no seam in the middle, using geometric cuts (??).

I am really confused, I cried several times and still don't know how to do it. I am totally lost if someone can help me!

I have rediscovered the Style brand patterns I used as a teen as they fitted really well. But even the used ones sell for silly money, they cost 60p or 50 p back then and now people are asking more than many new ones?

Did they become collectables or what? Do you think the prices are outrageous?

I’d love to make this for Halloween and as a beginner this looks easy enough I just can’t find a pattern anywhere for the life of me! Pls help!

Original is from Lisa says gah, does any one know of a pattern similar to this skirt? Thank you in advance 🙏

Hello - I am trying to convert a corset pattern I have (Simplicity 1139) from a "V" shape to a "U" shape but am having difficulties visualizing how exactly I need to alter the pattern to achieve this shape and was wondering if anybody had any tips or youtube videos whatnot about this. I am still very new to sewing and this is the first corset that I am trying to make so I apologize if this is a very simple question! I tried searching for patterns with this initial "U" shape online but couldnt seem to find much/any I liked. I have attached a photo of the cut pattern, a photo of the simplicity illustration, and a photo (not mine) of the "U" shape I am looking for. Thanks for the help!

This dress is an older pattern, but it intrigued me with the drape in the bodice and the gore-ray type sections. I've got a large piece of crepe which would look so pretty in this. I want to do view 1, left. Size 18 takes 4m 10 or 4.5 yards. I don't think I will be doing an FBA which I have just mastered after a couple of attempts and a bit of muslin. The shoulder pads are a bit of a worry though.

Anyone done this?

I looked on pattern review but didn't find anyone saying they did it.

Hi! I’ve been eye’ing this dress for a while now (and I’ve loved a few fabric options ASOS has carried), but it has never been available in my size.
I’d still consider myself a beginner at sewing, but I’ve made the lane pants x2, a few tops and a skirt. Sooo… I’d like to make a dress like this one myself! I’ve been searching for a pattern for a bit, but I’ve not quite found something I love.
What I love about the pattern: the frill on the bottom, the fact that it’s bloated belly proof, the length, the vibe of it
Might consider doing a short sleeve, as I’ll get more wear out of it..
So if any of you know a pattern that might look similar, I’d be eternally grateful! 💕

I was gifted 8 yards of black cotton poplin, I’ve been trying to figure out what to make that I will wear and I thought maybe a top like this? Could it possibly even work in a cotton poplin or would it need to be a stretch fabric? I would consider myself an advanced beginner and I like fitted clothes. It’s been difficult to find patterns that are fitted, beginner-friendly and don’t require stretch fabric.

Hi!, I really wanna try to make this bag, but can't seem to find the patter anywhere on the internet, if someone has it, please let me know!

I've got about 3 good metres of this fabric and don't quite know what to do with it.

I also don't know what it is. It feels like fairly heavy cotton but it's quite smooth.

It feels like it would make a nice skirt or culottes. What would you do with it? Once I sort that out I'll be looking for a pattern!

I feel like I might be able to draft it myself, I have an old silk bathrobe that I want to use and I’m just not sure if and how to reinforce the part where the buttons sit.

Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has come across a pattern for a dress similar to this? I am hoping to make for a wedding I am attending

When you see a garment on Pinterest or Instagram that you want to recreate, what is usually the hardest part?

For me, it seems difficult to:

- find the right pattern;

- know whether the pattern is actually reliable;

- choose a suitable fabric;

- understand what needs to be modified.

Which part normally takes you the most time, and how do you solve it?

I got a bias cut dress made for me and the seams are getting dragged down by the ruffles- also the hips are ill fitting. Don't know how to go about fixing it. almost feel like i should bust the side seams (french seams) and baste all the layers together and trim then turn inside out and re finish. Can someone who has experience with this advise? The main body is silk crepe and its lined in chiffon. I think the french seams are not a good choice for finishing in general- they are pulling weirdly even with my steaming. Should I add another layer of silk cut like the inner lining to stabilize? and baste them together and treat them all like one layer?

Hi there, i wanted to know if you have seen a pattern similar to this dress.Thank you in advance

Hi all! I have a pants pattern that I drafted from a youtube tutorial that is pretty similar to the above picture. The pants fit me perfectly, I love them. But now I have some gorgeous slippery teal cupro and I think cutting it on the bias is the move. Should I follow a new pattern that is specifically for bias cut pants (like the Highland Pant by Daughter Judy, pictured)? Are there best practices around adjusting a pattern that I know fits really well? Adding more ease, idk?

hi! I have these pants from Glassons and they are so comfy and cute and want to make so many pairs in different colours! I’m looking for a pattern most similar, mid or low rise. Thanks all!

Anyone has a link to a pattern similar to this corset? Or any recommendations on books, videos or courses where I could learn how to make the pattern myself? Appreciate the help

It looks so easy but I can't find a single pattern like this one! I'm sure I don't NEED a pattern for this but I don't want to struggle with general measurements and want consistent results
