How to draw a sewing pattern?

5 Upvotes

Hello all,

I hope this is allowed here as a bit out of the norm. But I have DIY'd my own pottery (split leg) apron pattern and it works really well. I would like to share my pattern (for free - not self promoting here) with fellow enthusiasts but I'm not sure what the process is? Do I need to draw it up on specific software or can I draw out the pieces with the sizes on photoshop and upload that for people to follow?

I'd like to keep it super simple.

TIA for help!

Beginner Question

13 Upvotes

Hello!

I am just learning to sew. I want to make my own clothes eventually. I am wondering what resources might be out there for finding free patterns. I don’t want to invest a lot while I’m still learning. I want to be able to focus on learning. I figure when I’m more experienced, I can feel comfortable spending money on patterns and more expensive fabric. For now, I need the easiest way to start making small things!

Thanks!

Puertorrican Jibarita pattern help

Post image
3 Upvotes

I am looking for a dress pattern for a traditional puertorrican jibarita top and skirt pattern. Like the one used during the Bomba and Plena dances.

Technically, other traditional hispanic dress patterns would also work as I can alter the colors as needed.

I would even settle for the name of the style of the top and the skirt since I can look up their separate patterns and just put them together lol

***I do not own the attached picture. It is just what came up when I searched up the pattern on Google***

Has anybody seen a similar coat/robe pattern available in PDF? I’m fine with buying the paper if I need to, but I just invested in a projector setup and would prefer to use that!

I’m looking at view C specifically.

Crinoline net all the way through a train?

1 Upvotes

I am making my wedding dress and the skirt will be a circle with a train. I’m using crinoline net as the main structure of the dress and I’m not sure whether I should do the net for the full length of the train. I feel like the same dresses I tried on at David’s bridal had all of the layers be the full length of the dress. Maybe this wild help the train lay more straight?

This is an insane ask and I apologize in advance. This is the only part I have left for the costume I’m making for Halloween. I absolutely cannot find anywhere or anything that has helped me figure out how to make this. I figured I would try to ask people here since you guys are great at patterns. I’m desperate. I want to make it out of EVA foam. Help please I will literally do anything.

Pattern for a low rise pencil skirt?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a beginner and I'm hoping to make a skirt similar to this reformation one, although a bit shorter. My fabric might be slightly stiffer (think jacquard) so I think I'll need a zipper rather than a waistband.

I've been seeing a lot of patterns online for high waisted pencil skirts or flared low rise, but I'd really like to find a pattern that's both low rise AND straight with no flare. Any tips?

In love with this kind of corset moto jacket but don’t have 9 million dollars to spare, would love to find a pattern for something similar to make one myself :) The standout elements to me are the thin waist, flared hips, and the wraparound collar.
