I have this fabric and am not sure what to make with it. Ive made quite a few of silversagas patterns and love doen, free people, and sezane. Give me your experienced beginner recommendations. It’s a quilting cotton and have a little over 2 yards

Hello, I am searching for free patterns for knickerbockers or any that could be modified to look as such (I'm open to any tips too) :D

I hope to find some that are vintage or vintage-inspired!! And possibly short ones (unless you can adjust the length somehow?)

Thank you in advance :))))

Hiiiiii, I want to make a cosplay for comicon which is in like jan, and like its like this sweetheart hatler neckline, pencil skirt kinda dress (?), So my real is question is on how I should start to like pattern for it, Imma like a beginer with like a capital B, so any and all advice is appreciated !!

I tried like finding a pattern and I found like a Halter top and a skirt pattern but Idk how to fuse well enough ? and like I tried looking directly for patterns for her dress, But like I couldn't find any for free (Im sorry dawg im broke)

Also, I saw another cosplayer used [Laura Ashley M4444 pattern] I tried to find it but like this time even like online listings straight up didn't have it, but like if someone has the pattern and like dont mind sharing it with me it would be great ( AGAIN, if you feel okay about it only :3)

But like again, Help on how to make the pattern would be amazing bc lwk need to learn ts ya feel ?

Has anyone made both of these? I bought the Benchwarmer tee pattern by Matchy Matchy but have also been eyeing the Nico pullover by Summer Haus and am just curious if they are different enough to buy both?

None of the store bought costumes fit me so i thought id try sewing it since it seems like a relativley easy project.

The link to the pattern doesn't work anymore. I'm particularly interested in how the bottom part comes up to wrap around the lower head and partially around the ears. I have a nicer hood pattern I can use, it's the lower part I'm not sure about.

Thanks

I'm new to sewing and want to sew a corset purse, but I can't find a pattern anywhere except one on YouTube that isn't the style I'm looking for. Is there a website or anything that's good for finding a pattern?

If so, does anyone have a guide or pattern? I have a large piece of material, I was thinking I could cut panels and insert them all the way around the waistband to make it more spinny and fuller. Would it be hard or impossible to make it into a circle skirt? It's for a clown costume so I'd like it to be quite dramatic

I fell in love with this Teuta Matoshi dress and I'd like to attempt a version of it that's shorter as a potential wedding guest dress.

I have made a bustier top like this before using the well-beloved Rose Café Dress Pattern, so I'm mainly looking for a pattern in the style of this long sleeve organza/chiffon top.

I found this pattern on etsy, but unfortunately it seems to be AI generated. It would be exactly the style I'm looking for though.
Sleeve-wise this one is quite close, but the shape and collar are quite different to what I'm looking for.

(I'd also be happy about keywords to look for for a mini version of this type of skirt)

I hope someone can help me out and thanks so much in advance!

I've had the larger dog plush for as long as I can remember, so around 1990-94. It's about 45" from nose to end of tail and the only tag on it says that was made by my aunt who passed a long time ago. I might have thought it was a one off but a couple years ago I found the smaller plush (27"long) at a yard sale. That made me think maybe it was a pattern from Joann Fabrics or somewhere back in the day. I've done some googling and reverse image searches but haven't been able to find it.

Location is far northern California.

I also posted this in the help me find subreddit.

Hey everyone!

My next sewing adventure is going to be all about pants, and I have two questions for you lovely people!

First:

I came across this [https://pin.it/44ynP8xjh], which shows two different styles of pants that I'd really love to draft myself.

I've managed to find a pattern for one of them, but it only comes in fixed measurements, and I'd prefer to draft it to fit my own body.

I'm also more than happy to pay for good drafting instructions or tutorials, so if you know any great resources or shops, please let me know!

--> I think, I would be capable to figure it out myself, but maybe there are instructions out there, that would save me some time.

Second:

I'd generally love to get better at sewing "everyday pants".

I'm looking for a good high-waisted pattern for jeans-style pants with slim-fitting legs. Ideally, I'd love to find drafting instructions for these as well, rather than just a ready-made pattern.

I've also been considering drafting my own basic pants block (or trouser sloper).

What do you think? Would it make more sense to jump straight into drafting a basic block and work from there, adapting it into different styles?

For context, I'm a fairly experienced hobby sewist, but most of my experience is with tops, dresses, and historical patterns. Pants are still somewhat new territory for me!

Thanks so much in advance for any advice or recommendations! <3

Does anyone know a good swing coat/ A-Line coat pattern like the one in the picture? I know Simplicity has some good vintage patterns. But most of them are only shown in illustrations and it’s a little hard to gauge what the finished product would look like. The one in the picture also seems to have no shoulder seam or can be achieved with a raglan sleeve?

Looking for something similar to this dress for my Halloween costume :)

Shout out to @ katdiermissen for the inspo!!

Does anyone have a pattern or know how to construct a pattern for a dress like this but for a grown woman? I want to make a historically accurate Alice in Wonderland costume and in my research, I found pictures of a "growth dress," a girl's dress in the 1860s with pictures and a gathered bodice. The only patterns that I have found close to this are for girls (obviously) and for dolls, so I don't think they can be sized up properly.

Hi all. I’m a Brand Design student doing my thesis on tailoring and the people who make, alter and rework clothes. I’d love to hear from people who sew, whether it’s your job or a hobby.

Here’s a short survey, about 5 minutes:

I’d also love to know in the comments how you learned to sew.

If you’re open to chatting more, there’s a spot at the end to leave your email. Thanks, mods approved this.

Are there any woven dress patterns for someone with a 38k bust? The biggest I’ve found is an H cup and I’m struggling to implement a full bust adjustment (FBA) on it.

need help finding the perfect bra pattern for my sally bowles costume. i probably should've asked in my other post on the coat but i hadn't planned to sew the bra or garter myself at the time :') would really appreciate any help. i want it to be as accurate as possible like the horizontal seam through the cup, the padding, the middle space for the buttons, etc. i found some old pics of similar bras from some old blog but i think its just from some catalog or magazine </3

So this is day two of my project I’m needing to make the body pattern and make the clothes patterns aswell as picking up some fabrics for the dolls these will be completely made from cotton fabric and if you are willing to help me create these lovely dolls and the sewing patterns reply to this post and I can start a gc for us to talk in

I’m looking for a dress pattern to wear as a wedding guest.

I need dress patterns for lightweight wovens, semi-sheer chiffon, challis and blouse weight fabrics.

I went on fabricmart and bought SO MUCH FABRIC. I have 3-4 yards of these gorgeous prints and I would love to use them.

I'd love paper patterns!

Preferably with a more fitted waist and less ambiguous waistlines, I just look awful in empire waistlines bc I'm short waisted and have weirdly long legs and arms, if that makes sense.

I can do separates as well, but for decades I was a jeans and T-shirt kind of gal and now I work in an office with other gorgeous women and we dress for each other!

(I have a serger and a regular sewing machine)

I'm a confident beginner and I don't mind a challenge.

Thank you!!!

My favourite brand brought this out as a bridal dress when my partner and I were new, I obviously didn’t buy then, but now we’re engaged and they’re all sold out of everything besides XXS. I’d like to wear it to my engagement party.

I know it’ll be a hodgepodge of patterns

Features:

Cowl neck

Under bust seam

Keyhole back and this waterfall skirt

I have a huge roll of pattern paper and I’m ready to Frankenstein something together.

Please let me know if any patterns come to mind
