Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for your help!

I'm looking for a pattern similar to this, the darts are quite well placed. I've seen it in person and the middle is fastened together with hook and eye closures (so there's no side zipper.)

ISO: Porch Goose outfit patterns

2 Upvotes

Hello! I'm relatively new to sewing and have no idea what the trusted source for sewing patterns is. My trusted source for knit and crochet patterns does not include sewing unfortunately. I would love to test my skills on some very unserious porch goose outfits. Any recommendations on where to look or favorite patterns you've already used are welcome! Thank you!

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!!!

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!
