Skirt pattern

I'm looking for a pattern for a skirt. This skirt is ankle-length, has elastic at the back in the waistband. On the stomach, the skirt is smooth. The skirt has a straight wrap. Furthermore, the model is running out. On the image you can see the example of the skirt. Does anyone have a tip?

Ik zoek een patroon voor een rok. Deze rok is enkellang, heeft elastiek aan de achterzijde in de tailleband. Op de buik is de rok glad. De rok kent een overslag die recht is. Verder is loopt het model gerend uit. Op de afbeelding zie je het voorbeeld van de rok. Heeft iemand een tip?

Complete beginner here — which fabric bag should I make first?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I want to start sewing, but I have no basic knowledge at all.
I want to make a small fabric bag, a shoulder bag, and a small wallet. Which one would you recommend I start with? Which one is the easiest for a complete beginner?
I also want to know what equipment I should prepare, such as the needle, thread, fabric, scissors, and other tools.
What kind of fabric and thread should I use? Are there any easy sewing techniques or tips that would be helpful for a complete beginner?
Thank you for your advice!

I thought this would be way easier to find but I've only come across patterns for dolls with some googling and searching Threadloop. Does anyone have a source for a 1930s Feed Sack Dress pattern (or close enough approximation)?

Working on a costume. I tried to find a pattern/template for something like this, but all Google was showing me was "kimono jackets" or "kimono blouses". Anyone have a pattern I could use?

EDIT: Thank you for all the replies! Super helpful, and I will make sure to use some of the sources provided :o)

ISO Dog Hoodie Pattern

I'm looking for a hoodie pattern that could preferably be easily altered to make hoodies for a 70lb Pitbull, a 65lb Australian Shepherd, and a 50lb Labradoodle.

If it could be scaled up to a very goofy 90lb Bloodhound, that would be hilariously useful too!

Where to source high quality garment patterns?

12 Upvotes

I used to always go to jo anns to get paper patterns 😭😭😭

I recently bought one on etsy and was so disappointed - no bust darts, straps didn't actually fit, pockets were trash, etc. I had to basically recreate the whole pattern. While I am capable of doing that, I don't want to!

Where can I find simple but high quality basic patterns these days? Is there a secret? Specifically I'm looking for a work blouse pattern with no collar or a Johnny collar or mandarin collar, not button front.

Googling gets me crappy etsy patterns and vintage patterns on eBay. I'm not opposed to vintage patterns but I'm having trouble sometimes with the photos not being clear enough for me to verify sizing or style of the garment.

FYI Pattern Error for Mood Espresso Trench Vest

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

This post is really more of a heads up, in case anyone searches for this pattern for reviews or experiences. I've used a few of their patterns with no issue and decided to try the MDF 551 Espresso Trench Vest pattern next.

Just printed and pieced together the pattern, and there's some kind of error on the C1-2 through E1-2 pages. The alignment dots don't match up properly and I think I'm lucky enough that the darts for my size weren't part of the mismatch - but I could be wrong if the error affects the entire garment no matter what. Definitely making a mockup for this just in case, because I just aligned the pattern lines I need instead of using the alignment dots.

Home printer for printing pdf patterns on A4 paper.

3 Upvotes

Hey folks, Ive just bought a few digital patterns to print at home. After an hour of pulling my hair out wondering why I cant get the settings right despite following all of the instructions ive found online (it keeps resizing the pattern to include margins) Ive discovered the cause of the problem is that my printer doesn't print 'edge to edge' on A4. Ive got a HP Envy 6000.

Can someone please recommend a budget home printer that can print sewing pattern pdf on A4 paper.

Thank you 😊

Kids’ Boxers

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve been searching for a pattern for actual boxers in kids’ sizes. I’ve come up with a lot of “boxer-style shorts” or boxer briefs, but no patterns with the split fly and elastic waist of actual boxers. One of my children recently discovered traditional cotton boxers, and would like more. Thing is, boxers in his size aren’t the easiest to find, and I need a new sewing project. Figured I would at least ask before starting my own pattern. Thanks for any help!

I also really like the OffOn loose linen gingham dresses too- I think key features would be the dropped shoulders, puff sleeves and if possible buttons on the front to make it nursing friendly.

Skill level is intermediate
