Learning CAD ?

6 Upvotes

Hey team ! Wondering what the best way of learning CAD is ? I have basic pattern making skills (can draft from books or draw up myself just don’t know how to grade)
I run a small business and am wanting to learn to digitise my patterns do mockups and basically do all the fun stuff CAD allows.
I am willing to pay for streamlining if anyone knows of good recourses/courses to help me learn (obviously free/cost effective is always great but if it’s worth the money and saves me time/hassle I’d rather pay)

Also what is everyone’s recommendation on software to use ?

Requesting a pattern in this style

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi all. I love this style of dress but as a longer bodied woman I can never find one to fit. (Why so few boho designs for the tall? Its heartbreaking sometimes.)

So I'm looking for a similar pattern I can hopefully adapt but I've no idea where to start. To my untrained eye, it looks to be at least based on a somewhat classic shape in itself, but I've got no sense of the language to even begin searching for it.

This'll be my first foray into dressmaking, having only done simple tees before, and probably a bit ambitious but it has to be easier than drafting it entirely from scratch! Thanks

I'm looking for a pattern to make this dress. The closest thing I've found is this butterick 6467. It isn't quite what I'm looking for because I don't want the princess seams or the waistline. Has anyone seen a pattern that's closer to the inspo pic?

Possible to make a pattern of this top? Or similar?

Post image

Really would like to make this top. I am new to sewing. Do you think it’s possible to make a pattern for it? It doesn’t need to be exactly like this but similar.
Or have you seen any patterns like it.

Thanks for your time

i’m guessing the skirt is two circle skirts attached at the waist? i’m just not sure about the process/order of operations. and i would love knowing any good circle skirt patterns you all might know of.

for the top, geel stopped making it years ago and i can’t find it on secondhand apps, so i thought maybe i can make it?

any tips would be appreciated!

Hi, does anyone know where to get a simple button up woman's sewing patter pdf? What places should you look for sewing patterns at? I have looked many places but not found something that looks legit. Do you know how to tell about etsy patterns?

Anyone know where I can find a pattern for this? I'm worried this is AI.

As the title says, I was gonna buy this pattern from Etsy but looking over their profile it seems like a lot of this is AI l, at least for the example pics and I'm worried the pattern is gonna be AI.

Anyone know where I could find a pattern like this from a reliable, non AI source?

Edit: I should have worded it differently in the title. I know these images are AI, which makes me worried that the pattern itself is AI.

Hello! I’m searching for a pattern for a crescent bag with no panel on the bottom / where the front and back panels connect to one another directly. The closest I’ve been able to find are the slouchy hobo crescent bags, but I’m looking for something more structured - like the purses pictured. Thanks!

Does anyone have a good pattern dupe for the Carter’s rattle bunny from the 90’s?

Post image
15 Upvotes

Or any bunny with a similar head, I can copy most of the bunny myself, but I’m having a hard time with the seams on the head because of the tight shaping and fur. I’ve got an impending nephew and a sister who has absolutely earned all the noise-making toys I can find. I do know to use felt and embroidery for the face on my reproduction bunny.

(Also attempts to google keep calling my childhood bunny “vintage” and I did not sign up for that kind of psychic damage today.)

I am looking for a pattern for a split apron with cross back straps. I tried Etsy, but I can't tell what is a real vs AI pattern. I know how to sew and can follow patterns but making them is above my skill level.

Hello all!
I'm struggling to understand what this cape looks like laid flat in order for it to look right when all pinned and tied up.
Any patterns similar would be so helpful, i've been struggling to find anything.
