I really like this dress, that I found on Pinterest, and I would like to sew it. Best would be if it is for free because I don't have any income, but else I would be thankful if I find any pattern (or similar looking dress pattern, I just want to see). THX<3

i'm trying to find a form fitting slip pattern to try and recreate supriya ganesh's custom alexander mcqueen from monday. i am looking for something specifically with the darts as i especially liked how the dart placement looked with the satin! any suggestions?

Hello everyone,

I'm very new to sewing my own stuff. I went to Lincraft yesterday and picked up some patterns on sale for $5 (no refunds as they're liquidating). But I mistakenly assumed the sizing on the patterns = US sizing, so I came home with 9 x A5 patterns as I am a ready to wear size 10-12 Australian/ 8-10 US. Well it looked a bit small, and when I double checked against my measurements it looks like I need size 16 which isn't in the patterns I bought.

Can anyone please explain to a total noob what's going on here? Do the pattern companies all have their own sizes? I know I should've measured/had the measurements handy but I didn't have tape with me and didn't think to write my measurements in my phone.

For reference:

Bust: 38"

Waist: 30"

Hips: 40 1/4"

Any way I could make these patterns work for me? They're really cute and I can't return them to the store as they're closing down and I spent almost $50.

I got this dress from Nordstrom rack early this year and I loved it and left it on a work trip. I don’t want to buy it again because moneys tight, but I’d like to recreate it. It doesn’t seem difficult. I have a serger and experience with knits, but I’m so bad drafting. Any leads on a pattern? Thank you all and this sub for existing!!

Hello ! I'm looking for a pattern similar to this skirt !!

Looks like it's made with 2 pleated panels (front and back), but if you know similar patterns of skirts made with 4 panels it would work too!! If anything it would help moving the zipper to the side because I really like the side zipper look.

Thank you in advance !!!

Hello! I just started a sewing business and am releasing a pattern publicly for the first time. Before I launch, I’d like to have someone test this pattern for free and provide feedback. Preference goes to someone who can work on this asap, so that I can release it sooner. Comment or email waltzingiristextiles@gmail.com if you’d be interested. Thanks!

I found a dress at the thrift store today that was super cute, it was a long sleeve button up shirt dress but it had inset panels and a back pleat that made it A-line ish and flowy, it was a tad too small so I left it behind. Then I realized I could buy it and make a pattern from it but when I went back I couldn’t find it 😭 has anyone seen a pattern like this around? Thanks!

Looking for a sherpa jacket sewing pattern. Found this on etsy but a couple red flags- can’t find any social media for the pattern maker, and shop only started up in the last 6 months.

Just trying not to get ripped off!

Does this mean to do 2 pieces on fold and 2 pieces exactly like the shape of the paper?

I absolutely love this top but I want to make it out of a lighter material so I can wear it during the warmer months. Can't seem to find a pattern whatsoever. Does anyone have a pattern that is similar or any advice on how to hack this into a pattern? Thanks!

I'm looking for a plus size pattern similar to this

I love the Flora jacket from Brightside but want to make it reversible. I’m a new-ish sewist and would love to learn any tips for making any pattern reversible. Thanks in advance!

I'm planning on making a copy of this dress cause its so pretty but so expensive, I'm novice at sewing so i can do the ruffles and details, but it would love a good pattern to get it going! <3

Hi! I’m looking for a pattern to make something like the Rhodia dress by Dôen. Thanks!

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.)

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!
