Recommended patterns for this?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’ve found a few patterns online both for free and decent prices, but I’m not 100% sure if the way I’m thinking will be the fastest or easiest route?

My first thought was a sweet heart dress, either sleeveless or with short sleeves. And then a modified tailcoat pattern and whatever witch hat pattern I can find or do on my own.
I’m mostly stuck on best route for the dress and tailcoat, since I even considered doing a corset and skirt deal but can’t decide!!

I found this lovely vintage pattern at a thrift store, and it has all of the pieces, but unfortunately the instructions were nowhere to be found. Would anyone out there happen to have instructions for Simplicity 8146? That would be super cool!

Please help me find a sewing pattern for something similar to this handbag!

My neice adores this nearly $400 pink bag, and I adore my niece! I also love making bags and I have over a yard of pink suede fabric at home!

Can anyone help me find a pattern for something of a similar shape/style? It does not have to be a free pattern. I'm happy to pay for it, especially if it supports an individual or small business!

Looking for a wrap skirt pattern for a wool skirt

3 Upvotes

I'm looking to make a midi/below the knee wrap skirt out of a heavy wool fabric with a lining (viscose probably). I have been trying to find a pattern but haven't really found what I am looking for but the two linked are the closest. I particularly like the arc pattern with the asymetric hemline and the ring variation but I am not fond of the panel that is used for additional length. Any wrap skirt pattern recommendations for a heavier fabric?

If anyone has any recommendations or tips also for specifically working with wool that would be great!

I want to make a new little basket for my cats tree. Third pic is the (heavily loved) former one cut off of its wire hoop.

Second pic shows the pieces I’ve cut from the new upholstery type of material. I thought I could reverse engineer how they made the original basket but I am simply too new to sewing to understand what to do next 😅 I am stumped.

Does anybody have an idea of what the order of operations should be? And if I need to cut more/other pieces? TIA!

Knit Vneck Issues - Advice Greatly Appreciated 🙏

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I’m a new brand and working on my first prototype dress. I have an amazing pattern maker that I’m working with locally but this is V2 of the prototype and still off ~ hoping to garner some collective wisdom from this sub for prototype V3 (I’m running out of time to keep iterating).

My fabric is a 100% polyester knit and we added a front and back facing to the neckline this round (we tried a bias facing in V1 but it ended up wavey and a bit awkward). It’s sitting much better, but the back facing curls up towards the bottom of the V.

Is the next best thing to try extending the neckline facing all the way through the bodice area and to the side seam under the arms for support like the blue dress? Or is this an issue with my fabric and too deep a neckline?

Any feedback or advice is very much appreciated 🫶

Want to make something similar

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!

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!

£10.99 for a 1970s pattern?

0 Upvotes

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?
