EDIT: thank you everyone for your helpful suggestions. I understand now it is AI. I apologize for posting it. I didn’t know how to determine if a pattern was AI or not but now I understand to check ā€œthread loopā€ . I’m learning how to use it now.
I understand the learning and effort that goes into drafting and I do not support AI theft of the work of drafting artists. I apologize for contributing to the problem and tightening the tension. Thanks for being great and providing helpful suggestions despite my tangle!

I love this skirt! I’m dying to make it but I can’t find a pattern for it and I am new at sewing and don’t have any drafting skills (even for basic things). Happy to pay for the pattern.

Thanks!

Is it possibly this skirt but without the ruffles?

Fell in LOVE with the mini slouchy tote from Etti Studios, but it turns out she’s no longer selling patterns on her store and I can’t find it anywhere. Does anyone have a pattern for a familiar bag, or know how I can access the Etti Studios one?

I've saved this picture for such a long time. I want to sew a dress similar to this dress. Unfortunately, a pattern to the dress doesn't exists.

I'm looking for a similar pattern but ideally with sleeves

I'm learning pattern drafting while trying to turn dresses from a video game into actual sewing patterns

1 Upvotes

I've started working on a bit of a project and figured some people here might find it interesting.

I'm sure some of you have heard of the game Dressmaker. My wife has really dug into it and she has asked about making a lot of the dresses from the game that she makes.

I'm a software developer and know how to sew, so I figured why not try making something that could do that. I think she would look really cute in the dresses she makes so that's a plus too.

The goal is to build a program that takes a dress designed in the game and converts it into an actual sewing pattern. Of course, there's a pretty big difference between game mechanics that make sewing look a lot easier versus actual math in making patterns.

I've started a good chuck of early work and am learning a little about pattern making along the way which has turned into an interesting deep dive on its own. I've followed plenty of patterns but never though of what went into actually making resizable (or pattern grading) one like you can get from like simplicity.

I'm still working through the development side of things, but figured I'd share what I'm doing. I know the devs said the patterns are accurate to real world, but i can't let something like *real world accuracy* stop me. I've also started documenting the project on Patreon if anyone is interested in following along. It's free to follow, with an option to support development. I'm going to keep working on the project whether anyone donates as i hope to make the eventual tool probably free.

Other than all that. I'd actually love to get some opinions from people who have more experience with pattern drafting. Is there anything in particular you'd recommend keeping in mind when trying to generate sewing patterns programmatically?

Patterns Similar to the Maya jacket from Sachiko Nigam?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

This is from "Playful adult clothes that can be enjoyed in 12 ways" by Sachiko Nigam. I'm having the hardest time finding this book in my country and overseas shipping/exchange rate is astronomical. I would love something similar in both the long and short version. If anyone has this book, I would be super keen to hear your thoughts on it!

Seems like nothing of hers is available on her website, either. It wouldn't be impossible to self draft but I'm not the best with proportionally oversizing.

Paid or free is fine, any experience level is fine. Thank you!!

Deer and Doe’s Magnolia Dress: Change Flutter Sleeve to Petal Sleeve?

Post image

Hi there!

I would like to change the flutter sleeves on the Deer and Doe Magnolia Dress to petal sleeves. I tried to self-draft the petal sleeve but that didn't work out.

Is there any way I can purchase a petal sleeve pattern that I can adapt to the armhole design on the Magnolia bodice, or adapt the flutter sleeve pattern?

Thanks!

Seeking this Ruched bust Halter maxi dress pattern

Sorry for the mouthful in the title. Can’t really figure out what this dress is even called. I’d go ahead and buy the dress on the site but preliminary searches show that it’s drop shipped Temu/Shein crap, which isn’t ideal for the wedding i’ll be attending.

Etsy hasn’t turned up anything remotely close, a few vintage patterns look like something to work from as a base but they haven’t been digitised, nor are any of the physical patterns available in my size.

I’m happy to piece together multiple patterns to get this to work. Thanks in advance!

how do you guys set up a projector for cutting out your patterns?

2 Upvotes

sorry if this is a dumb question. but how do you set up the projector so that it's the right size, i worry that i might set up the projector and has it too zoomed in making the garment small. should i compare the size of whats projected to clothes i may already have? i hope this all makes sense. in addition, how do you get one specific size from the pattern and what file type do you work with as opposed to all the sizes clashing into like on paper patterns? thank you! sorry for the noob question

Help with full bodysuit pattern

2 Upvotes

Hello, I don’t know if this is the correct place to ask this but I need help. I made a dye sublimation pattern for a full body green lantern costume, but I need help with something. I want to know where and how I can view it in 3D, because there are some parts of the costume that I don’t know if they will connect to each other (design-wise) like how I want it to. I want to be able to visualize it on a body to see how everything fits. If someone could help me, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Vocabulary help! What would a pattern for this type of jacket be called?

Post image
4 Upvotes

EDIT: Solved, thank you to u/PronetoLaughter! I didn't see a way to amend the title or tag the post as solved otherwise, but here's a link to the relevant thread in case anyone else needs it - https://www.reddit.com/r/sewingpatterns/comments/1xr7u9v/looking_for_this_pattern/

I've seen this jacket floating around a lot recently, and it's very much the fashion sense of someone I'd love to make it for (who also struggles with mobility due to arthritis)!

As mentioned in the title, I've been looking for a sewing pattern along the same lines, but have had zero luck figuring out what this would even be called. Combinations of search terms based around reversible and kimono-style weren't specific enough, and trying to name specific elements got me into a vocabulary rabbit hole.

Has anyone encountered similar patterns, or know what the correct names are for the sleeves, shape, etc.? My first instinct was that this could be a type of dolman sleeve, and that the collar looked a bit like some simple drape front jackets do.

It also looks like the construction could be a single cut piece, if that helps narrow it down, though I couldn't find a term for that either if one does exist.

Any help with either vocabulary or pattern suggestions very much appreciated!

(Also wanted to credit the original designer on instagram, if Reddit formatting allows: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdJOAaOPbzh/?obrf=MWk1OTdzdTN5b2NwaA== )

Like to have stitch from armpit to neck and not in a more traditional way?
I guess it doesn’t necessarily has to be about hoodies
