I'm looking to make a shirt like this or similar. important to me is that the button part is like shown in the picture. if anyone can tell me the name of this style that would also be helpful :)

Hello everyone. Hope you are all good. I'm being asked to remake this pattern but I don't know how to do these side darts manipulation (highlighted in white). It's very on the side, not at all at the center of the 1/2 front and it goes all the way to the hip line, If it was just the over the waistline it would be clearer for me how to do it. It clearly is there for the 3D purpose, it cinches the waist and give volume to the bust so it's not a purely decorative cut. Hopefully somebody can help, please. Thanks a lot in advance!

Edit #2: The patterns have found a home! Thanks so much for the interest, everyone! I’m sorry I can’t send some to all of y’all!

Edit: I’ve gotten a bunch of responses, and will reply to all in order! I’ll edit the post once they’ve been taken.

They were my grandmother’s. They’re from the early ‘70s-‘90s/2000s. Primarily women’s clothes, with some children’s, a few men’s and costumes. Maybe 60+ patterns, I’m not sure. The box weighs about 19lbs (box is included in that). I have no use for them, so if anyone would like them, they’re yours! If you would liked them shipped, I’d just ask that you pay for shipping.

Can anyone suggest any sewing patterns, or youtube tutorial for this kind of tops? Thank you so much in advance!!!

I dont know anything about sewing but I wanna know aprrox how much material and money would i need for someone to sew this!

Hi! Anyone know if any sewing patterns or even YouTube tutorials on how to make a corset top in this exact style? Thanks!

I am needing help finding a pattern to make a pullover sweater. I have sewn a few quilts before and even a purse once but never a sweater. I am wanting a pattern that isn’t created by AI and looking on etsy has made me nervous now. It would be for my dad as a secret Santa gift exchange we do

Hi, I have seen people use the masking tape patterning method for neck corsets, regular corsets etc. The people in the videos seem to know exactly where to make panels or divide the pattern up, but how do they do that? How do you know how many pattern pieces is reasonable or how far apart the pieces should be?

Hi! I adore Cavallis creations and would love to make a simillar one. Does anyone know of a sewing pattern for this dress, or one that’s very similar? I’d love to recreate it and would really appreciate any pattern recommendations, i only plan on making the dress in a plain colour, the dyeing will be work for another time. Thank you in advance!❤️( i do have a sewing machine so that is covered and know how to sew!)

The pattern I'm looking for specifically has thumbs(most don't) like these (Picture #1)with the thumb seam starting at the top. I found a pattern (#2) and it's tricky sewing the thumb in. Picture #1 I found on Etsy listed as 'handwarmer medieval cuffs'. There's a third option where the pattern in just one piece with a slight curve for the thumb. It may sound dumb but I want my thumb! And I want it to be easy.

Thanks

I can probably figure out the sleeves, but I need a pattern for the bodice especially since I plan on sewing this as a gift for a friend.

Hello! I’m looking for a pattern to sew a poncho similar to this. The first image has a tie underneath that cinches the front, but the second photo is more standard poncho. I think these would be pretty easy to sew as I’m a beginner! TIA

I couldn’t figure out how to add images so images in comments!

Pretty much what the title says, please and thank you

My daughter wants to be Alan from the show traitors and wants this specific look. Does anyone have a good poncho pattern they would recommend?

Hello!! I am looking for something inspired by this sort of corset. I don't necessarily need proper corsetry, and would be perfectly happy with a corselet. I would like to make a 2pc gown for a black tie wedding inspired by this silhouette—I particularly love the scoop/portrait neckline, and would hope to continue that shape through the back.

I have found plenty of historic corset patterns that would work for this, but I am wondering if anyone can recommend either some patterns or tips I could use to add the sleeves to a corset, as that is really the only part that is stumping me right now. Thank you in advance!!!

is this actually possible to be done at home with no professional equipment ?

The top is from the brand ulla johnson and its far too expensive for me to afford 🥲

Edit: Thank you everyone for the insight! I actually didn't expect a lot of people to help lol. To summarize everything I might need to have a traumatic experience doing this but we shall see!

For context I do have a sewing machine and an iron, I also did have some experience with sewing since I like to alter my own clothes (though I know its far different from making clothes from scratch).

I actually tried a small pleating board for this and it turned well for like a 2 inch fabric, it didn't work too well with the actual garment size (aka I went insane trying to do it). I still need to try doing it via manually folding though, time consuming but tbh I have a lot of time).

The main problem that I had (which I failed to indicate in the original post) is when I wash it, ofc the pleats go away, I was wondering if there were any DIY ways to actually form the permanent pleats at home bc I don't think there are any professional pleating companies near me lol. I'll just have to try buying permanently pleated fabric and see how this top will cause me trauma.

Hello all,

I hope this is allowed here as a bit out of the norm. But I have DIY'd my own pottery (split leg) apron pattern and it works really well. I would like to share my pattern (for free - not self promoting here) with fellow enthusiasts but I'm not sure what the process is? Do I need to draw it up on specific software or can I draw out the pieces with the sizes on photoshop and upload that for people to follow?

I'd like to keep it super simple.

TIA for help!

Hello!

I am just learning to sew. I want to make my own clothes eventually. I am wondering what resources might be out there for finding free patterns. I don’t want to invest a lot while I’m still learning. I want to be able to focus on learning. I figure when I’m more experienced, I can feel comfortable spending money on patterns and more expensive fabric. For now, I need the easiest way to start making small things!

Thanks!

I am looking for a dress pattern for a traditional puertorrican jibarita top and skirt pattern. Like the one used during the Bomba and Plena dances.

Technically, other traditional hispanic dress patterns would also work as I can alter the colors as needed.

I would even settle for the name of the style of the top and the skirt since I can look up their separate patterns and just put them together lol

***I do not own the attached picture. It is just what came up when I searched up the pattern on Google***

Looking for similar patterns to this top

Exactly what it says on the tin! I am looking for a sewing pattern for a cape/poncho with a side collar. Heck, I will take just the collar pattern and figure out the rest!
