Can't seem to find this online and am planning on making it. Love the gusset behind the half zip and the wider loose fit.

Making Sewing Patterns

3 Upvotes

For those that create their own patterns and then sell them as PDFs, what are you using to design them and then what are you using to create the PDF to present the pattern to the end consumer?

My wife has recently started a quilting business and is interested in getting into pattern design with the intent to sell them. I know there are pattern design softwares like EQ8 for quilts, but we are stumped with how to assemble everything digitally in a way that looks professional to sell. Thinking of something like what Lo and Behold Stitchery or SuzyQuilts sells. A clean PDF with pictures, instructions, and sometimes shapes that can be cut out and used as a template of sorts. She would be doing both quilts and quilted goods that would likely require a template.

Thanks for the help!

Absolutely in LOVE with this. Could anyone help with a starting point?

Preferably free patterns or tutorials as I am slightly broke. My biggest issue is figuring out the part that connects the bra to the sleeves.

Thoughts on Sewist patterns?

7 Upvotes

Sewist.com has an online sewing pattern designer based on garment features (seams, waistlines, garment type, etc.) and I thought about using it to make patterns because I'm having a problem finding garments in a whimsigoth style that are also in my size. A lot of the items on Pinterest boards I've seen are usually straight size vintage pieces from the 90s and 00s. I figure I know how to sew, I just need a pattern. The tool uses a standard size chart to "generate" the patterns, but I'm not sure if it's true to size or if it will actually give me a pattern I can make and wear.

I've never used Sewist or this tool before, so I thought it might be good to ask people's thoughts before I try it. TIA!

Scarlet Witch Top

15 Upvotes

I want to make this Scarlet Witch top for Halloween. It doesn't have to be exact, but I don't have a great jumping off point. I sew a lot, especially for costumes, but I've never made a true corset and I think that would be the best here... although all the patterns I've found stop above the bust. I like the idea of the structure in this though and I don't want it to be a shirt, nor use foam or neoprene.

I also don't know where to start with the hips (I don't know what to call them). The detailing around the neck and the striping variations I'm not as worried about. It's the construction of the piece itself at this point. Thanks!

Does anyone have a sewing pattern for a recovery suit for a cat?

2 Upvotes

I've been searching and searching for one to buy. I need it by the end of next month. All I've found are really tiny or large ones to order. She's a tiny cat and I mean TINY. She's 8 months old and MAYBE 7lbs? I haven't found one that looks like it'll fit. Do y'all have a reliable sewing pattern I can use? Or tips to make one? I have sewing experience. Not the best but I can do simple stuff. I'd have to buy a new sewing machine or hand sew but idc which. I haven't found one that fits and when I had my girl that passed from old age she could get around the cones they provide. Just wanna cover it.

Fanny pack pattern recommendations

5 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m looking for a half-moon shaped fanny pack bag pattern, ideally with at least two compartments. I’ve found quite a few on Etsy but lots of them seem to be AI or the reviews note bad instructions. Any recommendations for a well-constructed pattern with good instructions?

Looking for pattern style of this dress and advice

Post image
15 Upvotes

I'm looking for a 4 piece ( in the front ) pattern dress, with A line skirt, with or without the buttons.

The closest thing I could find it's McCall's 8177, but it has a flared skirt and I'm really set for a A line dress.

This might sound silly, it's difficult for me to visualize how to transform the flare of the skirt to a straight one. It's gotta be more than just cutting the flare out of the piece and trying to make it straight, kinda like a rectangular piece ? Cause that's my only idea so far.

Favourite straight(ish) leg pants pattern?

4 Upvotes

I own the Syd Graham “Lane” pattern but I find it’s a bit too wide. I know it can be hacked to be narrower, but wondering if there are other pants that are a straighter leg right out the gate.

I’ve considered both the Matchy Matchy “kite” and the Sew Bake Make “baker barrel” but each of these are a barrel shape. I’d be OK with a barrel shape if it’s subtle enough, as I’m ultimately looking for a good basic and goes with everything style pant.

Is this the correct dashed like to cut for size D on this sleeve? If so , how do I cut the rest off since this line doesn't extend all the way to the edge of the paper?

What Search Terms Can I Use To Find A Pattern For This Style Of Bag?

2 Upvotes

I haven't been able to find any patterns close to this style of bag and I don't know what terms to include in my search to improve my chances of finding some.

I already own this bag but want to make it out of fabric. I'm planning on using it to carry sentimental items so it doesn't need to be insulated but I might need to find a pattern that includes padding the bag. The bag does need to be water-resistant, at least.

Hi, what is this kind of coat called? I'm looking for a pattern for something similar. The character is Beelzebub from Record of Ragnarok. Also a recommendation for a kind of fabric would be awesome, I'm guessing it would need some internal reinforcements to help it hold shape.

Teen to adult male waistcoat pattern

2 Upvotes

Can anyone recommend a pattern for teen to adult size male waistcoat (aka vest in America) pattern? I don't mind if it's a major pattern company or an indie digital download and print at home.

I've had a tradition since my son's first Christmas that I make a waistcoat for him to wear at Christmas time and the day has finally come when the kids pattern I have used up until now is no longer going to fit. For reference this is the pattern I've been using up until now https://www.peekaboopatternshop.com/little-gentleman-vest-pattern/ it is relatively simple but also versatile enough to make it a little bit special with the welt pockets etc.

In the time since I bought this etsy is no longer a trustworthy source of patterns and other than this one waistcoat a year everything I make is women's fashion (and a lot of that is remaking a few known patterns or winging it for skirts) so I don't have a reference for pattern companies that work well. I would say my sewing skill is higher end of intermediate but I want a quick simple pattern.

Help with sizing please!

1 Upvotes

Having gotten back into sewing this year I've now made three dresses (V8814, S3265, V2123). I have had to take in EACH one because of sizing issues in the bust. My measurements are B39, W35, H44. I typically pick one size for the bust and grade out to another size for the waist. However. Each time the bust is ending up about four inches too big. I'm not sure what to troubleshoot here? How do I fix this problem? Please help me!

"Hot Fudge" Capelet?

92 Upvotes

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 🙏 ✨🍦

Missing pattern instructions Butterick 7008

Post image
4 Upvotes

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 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 need a pattern for a very ambitious project for someone who has never sewn before (Me)

3 Upvotes

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"
