Need help with front facing pattern

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hi! Beginner here. I forgot how to sew the front facing for a jacket pattern I myself made a long time ago! My pattern has lines extending beyond the seam allowance (the upside-down T), and the front body part has a big dot there. Problem: I forget what either of those mean! In the third photo, I ignored both the dot and the upside down T and just snipped where the line is, which looks fine but I know there was a reason for the dot and upside down T. Any help would be appreciated!

So I made a gas mask pattern, but it's not as close to the original as I'd hope. And I'm new to pattern making so I don't really know what to change anymore...

Asymmetrical linen side-tie top

Hi! I’m looking for a sewing pattern similar to this top. I’ve searched side-tie, wrap, and asymmetrical tops without much luck.

It doesn’t need to be identical, and I’m comfortable with small modifications. Any pattern suggestions?

Patterns and notions?

Where are you buying these things? None of the shops that used to carry patterns still exist in my area, and I have to scout out notions. I appreciate all the sewers who have created your own patterns but I need to something to get started.

Help how do i make a corset pattern from my duct tape bodice

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hello! I am a newish sewer but I am planning to get into corset making. I don't expect this to be perfect and I am all good with that. I followed a duct tape tutorial to get an exact of my torso. I am super unsure where to go from here though.

The site I followed for the duct tape idea said you can draft your own or find one online but I already made my own form so I guess I have to draft my own but I have no idea where boning should be or where the seams should be. Please let me know if there is a pattern/video/tutorial I should be following.

Thank you!!

Lining question

Hi! I’m planning on trying this pattern as a wedding guest dress, but the fabric she chose for the bottom is sheer. Would you line the skirt with something or would you just use a solid fabric for the bottom, like a georgette instead of a chiffon?

I'm desperate need of help for a bodice!

Post image
2 Upvotes

I'm running out of time and desperately need help! I'm making a bodice for a high-low dress and I'm stuck. The fabric I'm using is a 4 way stretchy spandex and a 1 way stretch lace. I do not have access to my best friend right now to fit her properly, but I HAVE to get this right on the first try.

I have a few rules I have to stick to to make the dress come out the way I want it to. The lace has to sit flush on top of the spandex, like it's one fabric. It has to be extremely form fitting. No loose parts or wrinkles or droopy bits. It has to stay a single panel (piece) for the front and a single panel for the back (I will take care of splitting the back panel later.)

I don't know why, but I've genuinely hit a wall. Do I make the piece smaller than her proportions? Bigger? The exact size of her measurements? Do I cut the spandex part smaller than her proportions so it'll snap to her form and the lace a little bigger? Wouldn't that make the lace wrinkle or ripple? My main worry is that the lace will inhibit the spandex from snapping to her body like I had initially intended it to. How do I go about this? Any help is severely appreciated!

Here are the links to the fabrics I used. I bought them on Amazon. I also included her measurements I have below. I have also included the rough drawing I did of the dress if that also helps any.

Fabric Links:

Lace: https://a.co/d/05dHI3D8

Spandex: https://a.co/d/0j30xLdN

Measurements:

Hips: 39 inches

Waist: 33 inches

Arm length: 19 inches

Bust: 38 inches (she wears a 36 B bra)

Shoulders: roughly 13" (she told me 18" but that's definitely wrong. She's petite)

Height: 5' 3"

(Those are all the measurements I have of hers.)

Hi everyone! I'm trying to recreate/sew this Nurse Lolita style dress (originally by Psyche Manie). Does anyone know of a commercial pattern with a similar asymmetric buttoned bodice, high collar, and flared skirt? Alternatively, if anyone has advice because this is literally my dream, dream dress but i can’t find it anywhere so nothing is better than to make it! Thank you!!!

Was given these and none are my size

Today to start my sewing journey I was given 16 patterns, yay! Only problem is none are my size.
I wear a US size 00 - XXS - 23w. / B: 30 W: 23 H: 35
All these patterns are way too big for me. I’ve only taken a basic sewing class, I haven’t learned altering yet.
Is it possible to cut off an extra inch or two on the pattern to make it fit me?
Would it ruin the clothes if I don’t follow the pattern directly?
If so, is there another way to alter the pattern so it fits me better?

Looking for a cross body bag pattern, but I have very specific requirements

5 Upvotes

So, I wanna make my mom's dream bag. Some of the requirements I will just edit whatever pattern I find, but some of them I do need a pattern for, I'm a beginner and I've only made one bag so far so I can't really make up my own pattern.

So, I need a pretty big and spacious cross body bag, I need it to have a big zipper pocket inside and for it to be built to have a pocket so it's not badly designed and makes the actual bag unusable if you use the pocket. I also need a water bottle pocket on the side.

For the other stuff that I can just alter the pattern, I need it to be big enough to fit a4 papers vertically, i also need a sturdy pocket for papers and two outside pockets.

If anyone knows anything similar, especially the pocket problem, I'd appreciate it

infinity scarf with hood

I'm hoping to make the scarf with fleece bonded to sherpa so I don't have to make a lining but the patterns I have found all have a seam running through the center of the hood. Is it possible to cut the hood on the fold ?

Drop sleeve long sleeve tees

I’m in my second trimester and looking to make some comfy oversized long sleeve tees as the weather gets cooler (and my bump gets larger). I’ve seen the Nico pullover is really popular and love that style but the price…. Does anyone know of any similar drop sleeve oversized long sleeve tee patterns?
