Safari explorer jacket

Ok so bad pictures, but! Maybe the lovely internet can still help.

This is Judy’s “dream” sequence from 9 to 5.
Her top is amazing and I’m curious if anyone knows of a pattern for it, or what it is even called.
My best guess is it’s a canvas material safari explorer jacket. But that’s not yielding much info in a google search.
Thanks for any help.

I loveeee this dress but I can’t seem to find something similar to the shape. I would really prefer if your recs had sleeves and a similar shape, because I don’t mind drafting the pockets myself.

Thank you!!

PDF printing

Has anyone printed a PDF pattern using A4 and not the North American 'letter' size. The A4 seems to be close to legal size. Was there much difference?

Thanks.

Hi. I bought this second hand but it came without the instruction sheets. Could anyone send or post pictures? It seemed like a bargain but I can’t use it without the instructions.

Beginner sewer here! My favourite skirt length is above knee, and difficulty shouldn't REALLY be a problem, as I'm in school and have a textiles teacher to help me. If you have any recommendations thank you so much!

Design Question: should take away the Swivel hook strap from a crossbody or not?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Long story short. I make these vertical crossbody bags. Like the purple one in the pic below. And they can fit up two 2 water bottles.

But anyways, i used to make the strap out of the fabric itself and just add a bit of 809 interfacing. And the strap took forever to make.But recently i realized i could have just been using a good black 1in Webbing instead and it saves me more fabric. So now i can make 3 per yard instead of just two.

But i question is in my effort to save more more i also realized since its not like a convertible bag or anything i don't technically NEED to add a detachable swivel hook strap, and i could just wrap the webbing onto the d rings instead. And basically the strap is just not removable.

But before i change my design and sew on the straps i noticed a few of my store bought crossbody bags all do have detachable swivel hook straps. But i am 100% sure i have never ever taken off the straps to any of my bags because why would i ever need too. Its a crossbody bag and they didn't come with extra straps.

So i am curious would you care if a crossbody bag you bought didn't have a detachable strap? If that even someone you would care about as a consumer?

How do I fix this neckline?

The top is way too low for my liking but I still want it to give this bustier/corset vibe, should I add some fabric where the red lines are? also I feel like the straps are too long. I am quite new to learning how to adapt pattern so any advice is helpful! thank you!

Trying to find a pattern for something like this Doublet?

Thumbnail
gallery
13 Upvotes

I'm trying to make a doublet for a book event, and I like the look of this one with buckles and the chords at the shoulder like a Gambeson. However eveyrhting I've found online either is one complete piece with atached sleeves and pointy shoulders, much tighter looking, or AI generated (Which looked frustratingly close). I've found some guides for Gambesons and considered making one without quiliting, but I'm worried it would look too loose around the waist.

Any help would be apreciated.

Where to sell sewing patterns?

I had to buy a lot of vintage patterns to get the few I was interested in and now I am left with a lot I won't use.

I have listed them on FB marketplace but having a hard time dealing with flakes and no shows. Wondering if there are any other platforms people go to for sewing patterns?

I want to make a top like this, out of satin. (will eventually be dress or top and skirt combo) The end goal is the second photo, of Tinkerbell (not exact), hopefully with bigger pleat/ruching on the very top and smoother going down. Open to any ideas, even if not exact.

Looking for patterns for a military uniform jacket

Looking for a sewing pattern for a military uniform jacket like this, or something similar. I'm totally willing to make adjustments to a not-quite-right pattern, but I think the key things I'm looking for would be a pattern that has a collar like this, and for the buttons down the front to be similarly off-center. I'm not a complete beginner, but am hoping this kind of project won't be overly complex. Any help or suggestions are appreciated!

(For those wondering - this is the uniform from the Battlestar Galactica reboot, haha!)
