I've seen this dress on etsy and I would love to make it for my dance classes, so I have been considering purchasing the pattern. I don't even know if I am XS or S because according to bust and hips I should be XS but according to waist I should be S. I am around 160 cm tall so I have been wondering how long the dress are, because I am afraid it might be too short. Doesn anyone have any experience with this pattern?

Hi everyone!

I have a vision in my head of a sleeveless, cropped, A-line button-up shirt. I've looked all over, but the only one I've found is this one. Given the price, I'm a little worried the pattern might be AI-generated (it's like 3€).

I know I could just order it and see, or even design it myself... but honestly, I don't have the mental bandwidth for either starting a new pattern from scratch or making lots of adjustments right now.

If anyone has seen something similar (or knows a brand or pattern that's close), I'd be incredibly grateful! 🤍

Hello fellow sewing community! I am looking for a good pattern to make with this rad linen. I have a couple of pairs of the Sepia pants from Closet Core which I love but I am looking to branch out a bit, either another pair of pants or a dress. My style is pretty California/Bay Area casual, I have three kids who are all involved in sports, theater or band so that is where I spend the majority of my time. Would love some pattern suggestions, thank you in advance

Besides: Simplicity, Vogue & Butterick

A lot of what I find are pdf-only companies, and while I've done the print, tape, cut thing it's expensive and I don't currently have easy access to the library or print shops. I have a pattern from Simplicity but I'm wondering if other brands reprint paper patterns ?

I want to make a cute bag to gift to my friend whom I'm meeting next month. I don't have her measurements and I also want it to be a surprise. I'm also only taking carry on so I don't have much luggage space. We're meeting in Prague so I was thinking something like this so she can even use right away on a night out. What do you guys think? Any other pattern or idea?

Need idea how to draft pattern for a cutout positioned like this, even better a pattern with this type of cutout 😭

I was flipping through an old sewing book (the Stretch & Sew pants book) and found this illustration (#3) of a pants pattern with the most interesting yoke! I can’t get it out of my head.

Are there any patterns that have a similar multi-curved yoke? Or just a more interesting yoke than standard pants / jeans? I’m not quite advanced enough to draft this myself. Open to Big 4 but indie pattern designers preferred!

I am in love with this dress and would love to replicate it in different colours, but I’m having trouble finding a dress pattern with the tie at the waist. Does anyone have any pattern suggestions? Im wondering if I could even splice a top and skirt together?

Thank you in advance!

It's been a difficult couple of years with chronic illness, trauma, stress, etc etc. Anyway, I found the perfect dress for my changing and often painful body.

I feel good in it, it fits in all the right places, and it's comfortable! The baggy bits over the hips are POCKETS and it swishes in the most delightful way!

I've found two second hand so far, but I can't seem to find the BLACK version in my size (a NZ/AU 16 or small in the label's plus size range) so I thought I'd look into making one.

I'm an experienced sewer and will take my least favourite of the two dresses apart to make a pattern if needed, but life would be easier if someone could point me towards a similar pattern so I can DIY a bunch of Perfect Dresses!

So I have this little guy that has been in my head for a long time and I finally drew him and I would love to make him. I’m getting into sewing with a sewing machine and I think you’d be really fun to make, but I have no clue how to make a pattern for this I would be willing to pay someone to make a one! Or tips on how I could make it myself
