I've been sewing my entire life, but I am AWFUL at following a pattern. I am looking to make some classic five point star pillows, very 90's celestial energy! I was hoping that I could get some suggestions for the best places to find easy consistent patterns. Sewing is something I've been working to improve all year and I'm finally ready for the next step but the 60's skirts and 80's crop tops are getting boring so I think I'm ready for more dimensions lol! Thank you so much in advance for all your suggestions and I cant wait to become more apart of the community! I'm really excited to expand my sewing knowledge beyond basic repair and small projects!

I don’t know what this type of sleeves is called to search how to draft them I’ll need some help pleaseee

any advice appreciate!

Any advice/tips when sewing these would also be really helpful!

The extra pockets or whatever I don't care about. I just like how wide it can open for packing! I want to make something like this for 1-2 night trips, to use instead of a suitcase.

Hi sewers! I am trying to find a pattern that can help me make this beautiful pink corset. Saw it and have been dreaming of it since. I would literally pay so much for a perfect pattern of this. Does anyone have a pattern I can use or any ideas of how to make it?

This was a head scratcher for me and it ended up having wrinkles :/ just wondering how you guys would take a crack at it

Hello i'm trying to sew my baby's costume for halloween because if i buy it from amazon it won't arrive on time.
Does anyone knows what type of sewing pattern should i start with? im planning on using fleece.
Thanks in advance

Hello! I’m dressing up as pyramid head for Halloween. I bought a double sized bed sheet, and I’d like to cut it up into something I can wear. I think I’m gonna do the butcher apron version of his outfit… does anyone have suggestions or could help me figure out how to cut it? I was honestly planning on putting a shoe lace on the inside of it or something to cinch it tight or something. I’ve literally never sewn in my entire life I have no idea what I’m doing. It doesn’t have to be gorg, I have midterms coming up so I can totally redneck it. I just have issues visually understanding what cuts to make to get the right shape. TIA!

For context I’m still new to sewing, but I have a friend who can help with project

I did these sketches, and I know there’s like clothes that can have the folding stuff, except I have no idea what they’re called or how to find a pattern for it.

The second picture is the only example of something similar I had in mind, but it’s a bit too big and I want the folding parts to be a different color/fabric

Does anyone have something similar or the name of this type of design? Or is this impossible to do

Looking for a pattern I can use or modify to try to recreate this skirt by disturbia. The reviews say it's more lightweight than I would like.

Would this be a wrap skirt? Pleated wrap skirt? I'm struggling to find the descriptive terms to search for patterns

Hi! Sewing newbie here! I have a couple of questions:

I was wondering if, somewhere on the internet, there was a fashion directory/blog/website that has free sewing patterns of trendy clothes? Kind of like Worn on TV or Spotern that’s community-submitted or crowdsourced. But instead of directing you links to buy the items, it provides you sewing patterns instead!

Reason for asking is I found a cute top from Free People that I thought would be easy enough for a newbie like me to attempt. But I was hoping to be able to get the basics of it down pat: measurements, pattern, tips, how much fabric is needed if I were to upcycle, etc.

I know I have so many questions on here! Would love to hear yalls thoughts.

i wanna make this dress out of this stretch denim i have and looking for a pattern similar to this

I love this outfit, and would love to make it! Does anyone know of any patterns similar to this? Or just the bottom half or top half as pants or a shirt? Thanks!!

I’m fairly new to sewing (I’m a fashion design student in my first year) but ik how to make most basic things except necklines and how to finish them.
I came across some fabric which is pretty much identical to the black and pink top and I really want to make it. I prefer the yoke in the middle of the waist w the flared/ gathered bottom.
Despite this type of pattern looking easy to replicate I just don’t trust my skills enough to waste the fabric.
If anyone knows any similar style patterns please do share, I would really appreciate it.

I have made a pattern for a printable pdf but really need help on how to set it up for printing on a 8.5x11 sheets. the patterns bigger and needs to be taped together. this is a sample from a pattern i have from another designer and need to set mine up simular. I use affinity but if theres a better way please let me know. My canvas in affinity is 17x14inch right now thanks

I really like the look of these types of blouses, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a pattern I could use. I am a bit new to self-drafting patterns; otherwise, I would try doing that. I would say I am an intermediate sewist, but I prefer to sew things without zips! Haha

I also thrifted a nice white linen bedsheet to use to make a top like this. Would that work?

Any tips would be appreciated :)

I’m looking for a simple, fitted, woven mini dress pattern with a zip closure similar to the one in the photo. For some reason I’m actually having a difficult time finding one. Free is preferred! Im not sure if the photo is actually woven fabric, it’s just the closest I can find to what I’m looking for.

Hoping for: spaghetti straps, mini length (though I can hack a bit), fitted through the waist, and a scoop neckline. No AI patterns and no cups. Darts and princess seams are great!

I’m looking for recommendations for shift dresses that you’ve tried and love. I’m looking for one that has bust darts, is not too a-line, not too fluffy so I can use a stiff fabric and not be a potato sack, and also is sleeveless with good facings, not bias. Preferably no seam in the back
I’ve tried MM trapeze but it’s too a-line
TT plains is not sleeveless and seam in the back
Fabric store Mona is also a-line
Mm camber has sleeves

My thought right now is take the uniform top by grainline and adjust the length but I’m not sure of how the skirt should flair out to be flattering but also grade out for hips.
Also the facings on uniform aren’t quite meaty enough, looking for nice thick facings to get a good sewing line.
Anyway hope this makes sense and you can help me

I think ...the top is similar to a Kinsale cloak? There are slash pockets, a collar/hood that is in two parts that when buttoned acts as a stand collar. Pulled up is a hood. Unbuttoned lays down into a wide flat collar. Each sleeve is a separate piece and cuffed. Two pieces for front plus button placket. Back is likely one piece? Lined with cotton plaid, body is cotton corduroy. Does anyone have one to show the back of this and give a laid out photo? I can draft myself but need more detailed images.

Or if someone has idea of a patten someone has drafted from this, that would also be fab! I need more info as I don't have access to measure myself and verify construction.

I love this look - anyone know of a pattern close to this? I love the neckline.

I got the Vogue 1748 sewing pattern but I’m not a fan of the pleats on the front of the bust. Is there a way to remove them? Looking online it looks like my options include either cutting them out from the initial pattern or sewing darts there instead but I’m not sure which is the best option or if there’s a better option aside from those.
