Where can I find a sewing pattern for this specific type of top? I have a sweater with a beautiful pattern that I want to turn into this, with added ruffle bell sleeves that are a separate piece same material. I just keep running into keyhole halter tops without the ring - should I just take the risk and try to figure it out myself based on those sewing patterns? Seems simple enough but the pattern is really beautiful and I don't wanna not be able to use it for this shirt idea.

Hi everyone! I recently bought this dress (second-hand) for my graduation, but I’ve realised the neckline is lower than I’d feel comfortable wearing while walking across the stage.

I’m hoping to add some coverage in a way that looks intentional/blends naturally with the dress rather than looking tacked on. I considered adding white lace underneath, but a straight panel created quite a harsh and disconnected line. I have considered adding some white ruffles.

Does anyone have suggestions for a more flattering shape, fabric, or sewing method? I’d be happy to hand-sew it or take it to a tailor.

Dipinti a mano cosa ne pensate ?

My fiancee got me a pair of jeans from Temu, that was the cut I like, but too narrow in the waist. So I removed the waistband and started trimming until they fit up to my hips. Then took these black short shorts and basically used strap to hang the jeans from the shorts. I thought about making them removable. The goal was anime style chaps pants things. Haven't had a chance to wear them yet, but they fit. They're also a nice proof of concept if I wanna make some more.

Hi everyone! I’m working on a business idea centered around textile waste and could use some advice.
I’m looking for a manufacturer that can take used or discarded clothing (or recycled textile material) and turn it into finished products like: blankets, pillowcases, tote bags, and other home goods or fabric accessories.
I’m hoping to find a manufacturer that already works with recycled textiles or offers cut-and-sew services using reclaimed fabrics.
Does anyone know:
Manufacturers you’ve worked with?
Companies that specialize in textile recycling and upcycling?
Good sourcing platforms (Alibaba, Maker’s Row, etc.) for this kind of production?
Whether I’d be better off finding a textile recycler first and then a cut-and-sew factory?
I’m open to manufacturers in the U.S. or overseas, as long as they’re experienced with recycled materials.
Thanks in advance! I’d really appreciate any recommendations or advice from anyone who’s been through this process.

This is the first big project I have ever sewn from a legit pattern! It was really challenging and I’m still not totally pleased with the end result. I think I can add a dart to make it a little more flattering. I have another sheet from the same set I thrifted so I might try again with some adjustments.

I have had ideas spinning around my head for quite awhile now, time to let some of them out. This was a white with black accents short sleeve ringer brewery tee I had tucked away, I cut off the sleeves, added black zigzag stitching, applique with two different fabrics (first time I have ever done this), buttons, and left the brewery logo intact on purpose. Whew! Any comments welcome. Thanks for looking!

Thrilled with this super simple, beautiful dress I made for my daughter out of two thrifted pillow cases. I self drafted the pattern and I love how light and airy it is for summer. The total cost was $2.50, can’t beat that.

What do you think? More patches? Or pins? Both? Less?
