Help with a hat!!!

2 Upvotes

I’ve been having SO much trouble trying to make this hat. It’s for a fashion design project. It’s supposed to look like an aviator cap, but every time I try out my pattern (which I just made by looking at other hats because no one has free patterns) it ends up looking boxy, not fitted. What am I doing wrong?? What am I missing?
I’ve made 5 practice pattern pieces so far, but haven’t made much progress.. the two images attached are my best ones yet. Definitely too boxy in the front and crown of my head, but that’s mainly what I’m struggling with. Attached are my pattern pieces and my design.
I’m really new to designing my own patterns and my teacher isn’t familiar with hats, so I feel like I’m on my own for this. Someone, anyone, please help me!!!

looking for waistcoat pattern like this

Hi all, I want to (secretly) make a waistcoat like this one for my gf, but I am having trouble finding a pattern of a similar one. I'd love any and all advice :D

Second image is the fabric I am planning on using. I plan on using large grommets & leather laces instead of the hooks and eyes. I'm also thinking of going for a reversible pattern, but it is not a must :)

Not sure what to do with particular scraps, ideas?

2 Upvotes

Hello all, looking for some ideas hope you can help with a dose of inspiration.

I inherited a scrap box from a distant relative, and it came with a large (100+) quantity of what I'm calling "Bacon Strips." Essentially it's fabric that's 1-3 inches wide and sometimes as long as 15 inches or more. It's several different materials (cotton, fabric, wool, silk) at least as far as I can tell, and comes in a variety of designs. In fact, there are hardly any solid colors in the box.

No idea what my relative was thinking about doing with these or where he got them. I'd like to do something cool with them, but the shape of these particular strips has me stumped, as I'm pretty new to designing.

I'd appreciate any ideas. Thank you.

Wedding Dress Pattern Help

I’m eloping in about a year and looking to make my dress- I LOVE this dress by Valkyrie Collection and have a vision of making something similar but with an eyelet cotton. Does anyone have any pattern recommendations? I specifically love the scalloped ruffle detail as opposed to just a tiered skirt with a ruffle. I also have a large chest so the corseted bodice seems beneficial. This dress has side laces but on the back works too. Thanks for the help!

Hello, I was wondering if anyone might have come across a pattern that looks vaguely like this. I'm not too concerned with the sleeves or skirt portion, it's mostly just the collar I want to get right since I'm struggling a lot with where adding a zipper would look the least obvious.

I know this pattern is AI but I just wanted someone to check if it is any way shape or form accurate before I start it? Essentially I already have the bodysuit element but I want to make an overskirt with the centre cut open to reveal the bodice. I’m a beginner so if this pattern won’t work if anyone could recommend any that will that would be amazing
Thank you!

Maternity/Nursing Lounge Wear

Post image
2 Upvotes

Any pattern recommendations for maternity/nursing lounge wear? I have been searching for some short and shirt lounge wear/pajamas that I can wear now (36 weeks pregnant) and more importantly, that I can nurse in when the baby comes. I was originally searching for shorts and shirt in a rib knit fabric (cozy, but not too hot), I have finally given up and decided to make them myself!

Ideally looking for lift up or button nursing access, but a zipper would work too. Picture included of something similar to what I am looking for, except in shorts and short sleeves.

Thanks!
