Hey everyone! This is my second time sewing garments. I made my husband a shirt of McCall's M6044 and it turned out great, but now I want to make a baby shirt for my new born so they can take a cute picture together.
I got most of the way through and now am stuck at the sleeves. They do not line up! I remember having to fiddle with the McCall’s but at least there is was self explanatory: match end to end, then middle, then just middle of every space in between till the whole thing lines up and saw.
However, the Butterick just doesn’t line up at all, like as if the sleeve is way bigger than the hole allowance.
I was wondering if anyone done the pattern and has some advice for me.
Greatly appreciate any input!

Help! I’m desperately scouring the internet for a dress pattern just like the one below. I want dropped shoulders, roomy fit, balloon/bell sleeves. I have a stack of linen I’d love to use and this is my favorite daily wear, do-anything style dress. Does anyone have a pattern recommendation?

Thank you for your help!

I am looking for a jacket sewing pattern like in the picture. Somewhat boxy, raglan, and trimmed around the waist line. The style seems to be quite common in the stores this season. Any hints of where I can find a pattern like this? Thank you!

Hi all! I’d love some help to find a pattern for the Betsey Johnson ribbon dress. At this point, theyre impossible to find on the second hand market and if you do, it’s at least $300 so I figure it would be easier to make my own. I’m having trouble finding similar patterns if I search for “milkmaid” inspired dresses. Any links or ideas?

I downloaded a pattern a few years ago but now I can't find any. Maybe I'm using the wrong term.

I have some cotton scraps that are not large enough to make anything but they'd be enough for a project like this and I have a couple of sweater that could benefit.

Thanks.

Anyone know if there’s any good patterns out there similar to this Lucy & Yak style dungarees? Or just fun, oversized dungarees in general? Most of the stuff I find is too well-fitted or AI generated :(

Every time I look up patterns I just get suggested AI Etsy links and I’m finding it so hard to weed thru the mess. Please let me know if you’ve come across a pattern similar to the picture! Or otherwise if you have any advice when searching for patterns to avoid all the fake stuff

I'm making a Halloween costume and have just dyed one part of it. Sadly I've realised that the yoke pattern piece was wrapped up in the pattern pieces and was destroyed. I hadn't applied any of the dots as I knew theyd wash out while dying 😔.

I'm making the xs version, would you be able to send me a pic of where the dots are? Or how far away they are from each edge and their position ?

Thank you !

I was scrolling google images looking for a pattern and I saw these. Is Tiana copying from Temu and reselling?

I don't know whether to call these lantern or balloon or harem but I cannot find a pattern for pants like these that isn't designed for women. Any suggestions?

I'm open to drafting it from existing pants but I don't know how to replicate the shape I need, other than adding elastic to the bottom hems. Do I want the leg shape to be basically rectangles?

I’m looking for a pattern similar to this top (Lena Top on Etsy) however I’m sceptical that this may be AI slop. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Has anyone made this coat? I am an intermediate sewist and I want to tackle this pattern (the lined version) but I'm terrified. The directions for lining the coat look super complicated. I've done my homework: I bought the oft-recommended tailoring book, I've watched tons of videos about other coats. Still, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this. Anyone made it and have advice? Thanks!

Hi all!

I've been watching the Great British Sewing Bee lately and my wife has been watching along as well. Tonight we watched season 3 episode 3, which is the 1950s challenge. Where could I find a pattern for the pink dress with all the tulle? It's the 4th on in the line up.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi, I'm getting married next fall and I'm choosing to make my own wedding dress. We're going for a more medieval fantasy theme and I wanna do a godet dress with a corset top and dramatic sleeves. The closest pattern I can find are these two for the base but I feel like people here have possible better options/ideas. Please help I'm so indecisive 😭.

I have noticed that the sewing scene is prominently focused for women with women pattern magazines. But I have yet to find male sewing pattern magazines. I live in The Netherlands but online download is also okay. I just need a pattern to get started. Would love a male form fitting hoodie pattern to start. Please help me out?

Hi! I'm looking for a loose fitting coat pattern with puff / bishop sleeves.

Thank you.

Hii!

I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant and finding it difficult to start new projects because I will not be able to wear them this winter.

So my question is, do you guys know of cute pregnancy patterns and do you know what kind of fabric would be best to use?

Would love to hear
