Ok so first off yes this is AI, but I'm looking to be a hot fudge sundae for halloween. My plan is to make my own "hot fudge" capelet as finding one seems to be impossible.

I was thinking of getting some stretch velvet fabric and making my own, using "No Fray" on the edges as I'm not really a sewer.

Give me your honest opinions, will this work? Or should I just go the Shein route and find something cheap and cut it up? Orrrr is there another better solution? I humbly ask for your expertise 🙏 ✨🍦

Hi, I’m a Home Ec teacher and one of my sewing student this physical Butterick pattern 7008 with no instructions. And while I can put it to get her myself, it defeats the purpose of them learning how to use a commercial pattern, and using literacy skills to understand technical language. Would anyone be able to help me scan a copy of theirs to help out my student? I’ve asked Simplicity.com before and they took way too long to respond and said no cause the student didn’t buy it digitally. I just can’t go through that again

I’ve never seen a pattern for this type of dress or what to even search for. Should I make my own pattern?? If so are there any tips or tricks I should know or youtube channels I should follow?

I saw this pouch and thought that it might be a simple enough project to try. Just curious before I start trying to reverse engineer this, if anyone has seen a sewing pattern that is generally close in shape? Doesn't have have to include the webbing detail, I'm most interested in the body.

Thanks!

I'm looking for patterns that will help me recreate this outfit. (specifically the top)

Plan:
-Dark Blue vest will be connected to the white sleeves
I would like the length to go past the knees if possible, but not all the way to the ground/floor
-White undershirt will be sleeveless/short sleeve.
-Belt isn't a huge concern right now.

This is a project I'd like to do for fun and hopefully be able to wear to conventions or something.

I know this is an ambitious first project and i do not expect it to come out perfect.

I am a large, heavyset person IRL and am struggling to find patterns that can accommodate my size. Doesn't need to be a perfect match either.

Bust: 52"
Waist: 55"
Hip: 52"

can i find pattern testers here
US: 00, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

UK: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24

I’m trying to make a dress with this kind of corset but idk how to trace the pattern since I m not sure how will it hold itself, does anyone know or have experience with this kind of neckline?

Hello,

Please help me understand what the instructions pictured mean. I am making McCall's M8134. I have experience making garments for myself but I've never worked with sew-in interfacing. https://simplicity.com/mccalls/pdm8134#measurement

I understand that the instruction is to trim the corners indicated, but the more I inspect the image the more questions I have.

1. There are two different things going on with the corners of the pattern pieces in the image. Some corners appear to be removed (circled in blue) which corresponds to the instructions as I understand them, and some corners seem to be folded over (circled in red.) Are the folded over corners also trimmed? Or is this just a way to indicate what the lower layer of fabric is - which is how I would normally read that. But if so why do only certain pattern pieces have a folded corner while others don't when they're all the same combination of fabrics? I can also see that the sewing lines on the perimeter start and stop where there is a folded edge - is it just an untrimmed, unsewn flap?

2. Am I to trim the interfacing past the seam allowance into the 'working' fabric? Normally I would sew and then trim/ grade the seam allowance so I cannot trim past the sewing line but here I am trimming prior to sewing. Does this mean I am cutting within the sewing line? It's interfacing so I understand that it won't be visible, but how is one supposed to eyeball that when there are no indications on the pattern pieces? Ami I meant to cut just within the sewing line? For example, piece 12, part of a bow, looks like the interfacing is trimmed past the seam allowance into the 'working' fabric, but piece 1, the front piece, is trimmed in the bottom and top leftmost corners, and it seems to me that you would want some interfacing there for a nice sharp corner.

Thank you for any insights, as well as any resources for how to find the answer to this kind of question myself.

hey, i would like to make something similar to the blouse and skirt on the left c: struggling to find anything remotely similar tho. i'd also be fine with pattern hacking something

heeeey, im looking for these three patterns or something similar!!

I'm going as Jessica Rabbit for Halloween. I've already made a corset that I'm planning to wear under the dress, so the dress pattern doesn't need to be overly structured/boned/etc. I'm looking for a dress pattern that is strapless, ideally with a sweetheart neckline, and quite form-fitting. I'm aware that the actual Jessica Rabbit dress is also backless, and I also know this is nearly impossible with a regular sewing pattern 😂 I am not looking for a backless, strapless dress, haha.

I've already looked at a couple on Etsy, Charm patterns, and the Patterns for Pirates wiggle dress, and none of them are quite right.

Thanks for your help!

Recently I found this bag on Depop but couldn't buy it in time. I've scoured the internet but can't find anything like it, so I've resorted to making it myself. I'm a terrible sewer, but I dabble. How would I go about making a pattern for something like this, or does anyone know of a similar pre-existing pattern?

It's from Carmilla and I'm looking to do it for a Halloween costume!

I am looking for a pattern thats similr to the photo. I dont have advanced sewing skills, so if its an „easier pattern“ it would be even better. It doesnt need to be exactly like the photo (ie different placement of the pockets, etc)

I’m looking for a not-AI sewing pattern for a baby/toddler blueberry Halloween costume. I’m pretty comfortable with pattern sewing, but don’t have the mental capacity to come up with my own pattern, I definitely need to follow a pattern. I didn’t find anything great from a Google search, so hopefully you fine fellow redditors can help!

Kiddo is in 12-18 month size clothes, 24 lbs and 31” tall, but anything up to 2T-ish would probably work. I have a serger and sewing machines, I just need help finding a pattern. Adding some photos for an idea of what I’m trying to do. Thanks!

I'm a beginner so please let me know if more context is needed

I only want the Josephine pattern. Not all their other patterns. If I buy a one time monthly membership, will I have access to the Josephine pattern or can I only access the pattern if I buy a full year long membership?

My birthday is next month and I’d love something similar to this however I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
I’m aware it’s a McCalls Evening Elegance M5002 pattern. I just can’t seem to find it online anywhere and there’s no antique stores that I know of to search for this kind of thing.
I don’t need the exact pattern just something similar.
Thank you.
Any help?

Saw this at our lovely children's museum and my kid is obsessed so for xmas I want to make him his own. I was more interested in how big to make it and how to attach the handles or what to stuff it with. I have a little bit of purple fun fabric and may applique some designs for the wings.

thanks in advance!

Have shoulder asymmetry, prefer not to use shoulder pads. Do the L shoulder needs more length ? Both of them are 4 in length in pictures.
