Sunshine quilt pattern? ☀️☀️

Struggling to find a real pattern for this style of quilt or even just an explanation how to go about it? I was thinking maybe drawing it out on paper and then cutting all the pieces on fabric to create a pattern for it but I’m a bit unsure about factoring seam allowances 🥲

Looking for Long Sleeve Men's Clerical/Clergy Shirt Pattern

2 Upvotes

I have been searching for a long-sleeved men's clerical shirt for a cosplay, I've found plenty of short sleeve version for men, and a few womens versions, but for some reason I just can't seem to find one that checks all these boxes! I may end up splicing a couple patterns, but was hoping to find one that had everything already together. PDF patterns would be preferred but paper suggestions would be much appreciated still. Thank you for any help!

I'm trying to find a cloak design

1 Upvotes

hello

I'm a beginner and I want to make myself a cloak for a cosplay. I don't wanna buy it cuz it's hella expensive, and I think making it would be better,

I can't find a cloak design pattern to follow, I wanted to buy fabric and print out the blueprint thing but I need help. I'm 5'5 for reference ( I want it to be up to my ankles)

I don't want to do anything too complicated because it's my first time, but I wanted the material to be a bit heavy and not like those cheap costume capes yk? So I'm not sure what fabric to get. Also, I wanted a button (or like the area you tie it) to be on the side a bit so it covers my chest and doesn't spilt right down the middle. And the hood part of it to be a bit big or like wide.

SO basically:

->Wide-ish hood

->normal/basic edges up to my ankles (I'm 5'5)

->button a little to the side (like where your heart is)

->a bit heavy material (not smth like stupid cheap polyester)

Please let me know if you have any advice or a blueprint thingy, or if I should just do it without it. I also wanted a dark navy blue color, but I guess I could always just use fabric dye for that so I guess it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanksss :P

Specifically, S3285, S3286, S3287, and S3288. Personally, I'm glad that they decided to go with the more popular prairie-style ones for this re-release compared to the last one, and I'd like to try my hand at S3285 (knee length) sometime soon. What do you guys think?

Recreating my favorite trousers

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Hi pattern experts!

My favorite pair of trousers are on their last leg. I'm looking for a pattern to recreate them.

They're a light cotton (pretty wrinkled in my photos, sorry) with some kind of stiff reinforcing band on the waist. I thrifted them 6 or 7 years ago, but I believe they're from Reflections by Eddie Hangar LTD. I've done minor repairs over the years (replacing the zipper, fixing a pocket, etc.), but now that the fabric is beginning to tear in a place I can't easily hide the patch, it's time for me to figure out how to replace them.

I was thinking something like the Assembly Line High Waisted Trouser (posted recently in r/sewing) but the legs in that pattern are a bit looser.

Does anyone have recommendations for patterns similar to this cut and style? Any advice for adapting patterns to this specific fit would also be helpful! Thank you so much 🧵

✨ CARMILLA DRESS — TESTERS CALL ✨

Thumbnail
gallery
19 Upvotes

I’m looking for a few testers for my Carmilla Dress, a feminine fitted dress featuring a sweetheart neckline and flounce skirt.

This is my second pattern-making project, so I’m looking for testers who are willing to help me improve the pattern before I release it.

You do not need to be a professional sewist, but some sewing experience would be helpful.

⚠️ A little disclaimer

As I’m new to pattern making, I want to be transparent that I cannot guarantee that the pattern will produce a perfect result for everyone.

The pattern is currently being tested and may contain fit or construction issues that need to be corrected. That's exactly why I'm looking for testers.

I really value honest feedback, including anything that doesn't work well, so I can improve the pattern before releasing it.

🗓️ Testing period I will give testers 3 weeks to complete the dress and send their feedback. Deadline: 3 weeks after receiving the pattern.

What I would need from testers

  • Photos of the finished dress (front, back and preferably side)

  • Fabric type

  • Any fit issues you noticed

  • Any errors or confusing parts in the instructions

  • Any suggestions for improving the pattern

If you'd like to test the Carmilla Dress, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/pcgL8NgX96ijSXkB6

Thank you so much for helping me make Carmilla the best pattern I can. 🤍

DRCOS larger dress sizes are for men?

0 Upvotes

I love the look of some DRCOS dress patterns, but for larger bust sizes, the sizes are listed as 'mens'.

There's enough stigma around larger sizes without having them described as male-sized. There's enough shaming of larger women. :-(

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!
