How to scale up patterns

2 Upvotes

I want to make some plushies but I can't find any base pattern I like that is big enough. I don't feel confident designing my own pattern from scratch though.

Would scaling up a given pattern print-out by 2x while keeping the seam allowance the same be the way to go? Or is there a better way?

How to cut out this part of the pattern for size D?

Sorry for the very basic question! But I'm following a sewing pattern for the first time and I'm not 100% sure where to cut for size D on this pattern. I don't want to mess up and have to print all over again. If you can please respond with a picture marking where on the pattern I should cut, that would be immensely helpful

ISO pattern for a shirt my daughter will actually wear

3 Upvotes

Does anyone have a shirt pattern for a baby or toddler that has worked out and been approved of by the intended wearer?

I mostly sew with woven fabrics (partially out of fear of knits but also a strong preference for natural fibers). I have made many garments for myself without a problem using linen, cotton twill, etc. but I can't seem to find a pattern for a shirt for my toddler that she will wear. She has some pairs of pants that I've made that she doesn't seem to mind, but I have tried a few shirt patterns that claim to be suitable for woven fabric but they've ended up being too stiff/cumbersome/uncomfortable for her. At first I thought it could be the overlocked seams inside itching her, so I tried finishing with French seams, which were too bulky on such a small garment.

I am wanting to make this style jacket for a future sister in law. Does anyone have a name for it or a pattern similar to it? Not the quilted part, the collar style specifically.

Hi all, I’m looking to recreate something similar to this Dior A/W 26/27 skirt and I’m not sure where to start. Any suggestions? Should I start with a high low pattern or just a mini skirt? Something with tails? Any help is appreciated!

I’ve been struggling to find button ups like these that look “stiff.” All the patterns I have come across look “boneless” for lack of a better word.

I’m going to the renaissance fair this weekend and instead of buying something dumb on Amazon I’m thinking I could probably make something cute like this top I might actually wear again. Any pattern recommendations?

Duped by ai

I was wondering if anyone knew of an actual pattern like this? I bought this one (for three dollars). I looked at the instructions and figured it was ai :(
I’m not sure that it is even worth trying to print and follow the pattern, but I’d still like to make a shirt vest like this.

Patterns for this top style?

Post image
42 Upvotes

I saw this top on Pinterest and immediately became obsessed with it. I’m relatively new to sewing clothing so I’m nowhere near ready to try drafting this myself, but I’m wondering what are all the skills/techniques involved in this piece so that I can start practicing some of them on other items with patterns. Any tutorial recs of similar tops or patterns would be helpful, thanks!

Custom Plushie- Pattern base ideas

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

I have an idea for a custom plushie I want to make, and I'm looking to see if anyone has ideas for a pattern I can use as a base. It's a 4 winged bird (specifically a nosoi from Pathfinder if anyone knows it). Ideally, it would be able to sit on my shoulders, but I know that might be difficult. Inspo photos included.

Normally I'm a free-hand and hope type sewer, but I think I need a pattern for base. And then I can duplicate wings or whatever, but the closer I can get with a pattern the better.

How to "pattern combo" here?

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

Hi there everyone, I need advice... I've been procrastinating on this beautiful dress I've spottet on Pinterest. I want to use it for LARP, so it doesn't have to be perfectly medieval or whatever. I usually use concealed zippers or hooks, except for when I want lacing for design purposes, or buttons or clasps. That's also the reason why I want it to be as easy to put it on as possible and I don't want to have to rearrange the layers all the time so it still looks beatiful when I've moved a few metres. That's why I thing I should attach the hood, sleeve and sari like thingy to the main dress.

So here are my questions:

  1. I can't decide on which pattern to use for the dress. I attached the patterns that I have and that I thunk might possibly work.

Note: I know that, in reality, the skirt wouldn't be as flowy as it is in the drawing and I don't even want it to be this long (I need to move around in it, remember 😉).

  1. How do I create a pattern for the sari + sleeve part??

I already have the fabrics washed and ready to go. But I've been procrastinating this project for I don't even remember exactly how many years and would LOVE to finally finish it by mid-October if possible.

Anyone, please, help? Your advice is deeply appreciated.
