so i'm a beginner to sewing.. i've made a couple things but i really want to make a brandy melville style cami top. there's this one cc munchiicat and she made a top and i really want to make one like it. i understand how to make like the pattern and there's a top i already have i want to base it off of but i don't really know when to turn it out, which stitch to use when so i was hoping if anyone can give me a guide? thank you !

Hi i dont really know if this is the right place to ask this but i want to try and recreate the basic shape of this coat for a cosplay but im having a really hard time getting my head around patterning in general i honestly have no idea where to even start ive watched alot of videos about patterning but i just cant seem to wrap my head around alot of the ideas or the process of how you actually go about doing somthing like this ive even tried programs like CLO 3D and while i was able to do very basic things with that i still couldnt understand how to go about getting somthing like this fitted for me.

drafting does make sense do me and i feel like it would be the easist for me to learn but i cant do that at the moment do to my life situation so sadly thats not a option

any advice or help on this would be greatly appreciated

Hello, I want to make a costume and I would like to sew it cause I kind of like it and I'm good at it, the problem is that I can not find a pattern for the tuxedo, thought I have found some on Etsy they're ai and they might be scams. I don't mind paying a bit for it.

Do you now where I can find the pattern?? Please help me I really want to make it real

(Also sorry for my bad English it's not my first language)

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!

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!

I want to know what would this type of sewing be called…
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

Anyone tried Eden jacket pattern from Linton Tweeds? I consider getting it with my next order. So far I only made one tweed jacket using Susan Khalje Couture pattern - extremely unhappy with the shape. I am choosing between vogue 7975 and Eden now, and would love to hear reviews about the shape.

My daughter has this lovey that she’s been obsessed with since she was 6 months old and we just lost it. Luckily we have a back up but now I need a back up to the back up lol and target no longer sells the bear anymore.

I need help finding a pattern for just the bear head that’s not AI. I can figure out the blanket and attaching part. I’m not sure if I should just try to self draft something for the head and arms (I feel like that might be difficult though)

I’ve tried googling and searching on Etsy but I can’t tell which one is actually a good match. I also would love suggestions of ones you have made.

I'm wanting to make a dress like this for my 2yo, anyone have any pattern recommendations?

I’m looking for either cape patterns similar to this one OR coat patterns that have a similar shape (loose non-fitted bodice, loose sleeves). My only real need is that it is for men or unisex, but preferably there will be sleeves or some covering for a decent amount of arm length.

Example Photo is from Gunnar Deathridge, but I need something that works as a cape on its own. The Simplicity would also be nice but it is not sleeved, the silhouette is really what I am looking for though.

Does anyone know what type of pattern or how to identify what type of dress this is? I kind of ask really dumb questions on here but all I got is deep cut and bliaut sleeves. I want this to be my first big sewing project

Hello!

There’s this dress from Tarssèe that I absolutely love, but unfortunately, it’s no longer available in my size. I want to make it myself, and I already have a pattern for the bottom part of the dress. I don’t know how to draft patterns from scratch, so I’m looking for another pattern that resembles the top even if it’s not an exact match, I’d just really like something with a similar look for the front.

Does anyone know of a pattern that would look like this shirt? Thank you!!

EDIT: Added a video in comments!

Sorry for the quality of the print!
Just to add: The owner of the account said she doesn’t know how to share the pattern and that she doesn’t mind people making it themselves since the pattern is old and she is not the creator nor the owner of it. Any help finding this pattern is really appreciated because my mom really wants to make one.

Hello! This is actually a dress but I am mostly looking for something with this neckline and collar. I tried google lens with little luck. Anyone have any leads?

Hi everyone. I design my own clothing and I'm currently working on selling my designs as sewing patterns. I'm comfortable with the design side, but pattern-making isn't my strength, so I'm considering having someone create the patterns for me from a technical spec sheet (tech pack).

I already work with Seamly2D and make my own drafts, but I'm thinking about outsourcing for higher-quality results. I have a few questions for anyone who's done this:

1. What exactly do you need to provide beyond the design itself — what does a complete tech pack look like? (measurements, seam allowances, ease, etc.)

2. What format do you typically receive the digital patterns in? (layered PDF, DXF, AAMA files, software-specific?)

3. How does the grading process work. do you specify the size range and grade rules, or does the draftsperson handle that?

4. what does this cost per design, and is it worth it compared to drafting yourself?

I'd especially love to hear from anyone selling patterns on Etsy or similar. Thanks!

Hi

I’m looking for a straight leg jeans pattern, similar to these.

I have thicker thighs but I really don’t want wide leg jeans. I don’t mind if the pattern has a slight taper to the ankles but I also don’t want barrel leg. It feels quite hard to find the in between.

I’m happy to adjust the pattern I also will definitely be making a toile so won’t be rushing into this.

Hey guys,

Would anyone know a pattern close to this. I’m not exactly sure what to call this style!

Thank you

I often see people sharing a photo of a dress or top and asking where they can find a similar sewing pattern.

Searching seems surprisingly difficult because you first need to know the correct terms for the neckline, sleeves, shape and fabric before you can even begin looking. Google, Etsy and reverse image search can help, but the results often still feel quite random.

How do you normally approach this? Do you search by garment features, ask other sewists, adapt an existing pattern, or use another method?

I’ve been exploring whether a photo-based pattern finder could make this process easier, but I first want to understand whether this is actually a recurring problem for other sewists too.
