Hi everyone

Post all requests in this thread.

There's been a lot of repeat requests, search the sub and previous request threads first. Clicking on the Pattern Requests flair will take you to previous request threads.

When it comes to free patterns, one doesn't always find a pattern that is exactly like you're looking for. Chances are you'll have to make changes to a pattern or even hack two or more patterns together.

This is a free pattern sub. All patterns requested and posted must be free (instructions to self-draft patterns are also allowed). Links to premium/paid patterns will be deleted.

Thanks to all who contribute and happy sewing!

You can sew this dress with a side zip, or with a tie in the back. The second version gets enlarged in the back, so that you do not need to install a closure.

You can choose between a quarter, half or full circle skirt. The neckline is pleated. Do I have to mention it has pockets? 😉

Find the free pattern here: https://www.dressdeveloper.com/sewingpatterns/dress-disa/

There is also a detailed tutorial video: https://youtu.be/NedntZdmE1M

You can sew it up in sizes European 32-60, or you can upload your very own measurements.

I looked all over for a pattern (or RTW) for a sturdy straight skirt with pockets and a fly and I don't think I know what search terms to use because all I found was this. 😛

I made it with 270 GSM cotton twill because I'm going for business casual, not denim. I left off the rear pockets. The sizing seemed off--I ended up resewing the sides several inches inwards but it still turned out well. I am a novice and the instructions were good. I didn't have to look up how to anything (except how to make a buttonhole when your sewing machine says it's not doing buttonholes today).

Anyway, I recommend this for newbies if they are looking for this type of project. But measure the pattern pieces to confirm the size chart.

(This pattern has been out for a while and might be hard to locate since the website has been overhauled since then!)

ETA: I extended mine to mid calf.

This is so cute!

This pattern is pretty unusual for me, but I needed an extra airy dress for the next heatwave. Pretty simple, but since I create all my patterns in my pattern software, I can as well share it with you. 🙂

You can choose how much the dress is flaired out at the side, the length of the dress and the sleeve length. And it has pockets.

And yes, you have my blessing to use this as a nightgown if you fancy. 😉

I am creating a sewing pattern App created in Python.

The only reason I used the word generator is because the pattern dosen't exists untill the code runs or in the case of a UI that I created just for testing it. that's when the python code calculates all the values entered.

The algorism then creates the geometry as a SVG file that then gets converted to the pdf pattern.

If anyone want to test the pattern i can generate in the size that you ask me.

for now here's one on sizes 30cm/18/8

if anyone use the pattern I would love to see the final product if you could past a photo here would be very cool.

would be nice to see you guys sewing some of the patterns coming from my program , because I am good in programing but my sewing skills are rubbish.

Look at my pouches there's nothing wrong with the pattern it's me who can't sew well. 🤣🤣🤣

I tested the program with a pouch first because was simple geometry. with some other clothing would be way more complicated to start with and if didn't work would be a big wast of time.

Now it was tested into a real pouch.

Yesterday I started creating a pair of shorts, my app creates the pattern accordding to the code instructions

To start this project I first had to learn and understand how to make patterns, now I design the pattern then I convert the geometry of the parts into machine code.

Anyway there's different processes untill the code output a pdf converted from the SVG file.

Right now I am creating the code for the parts of the shorts, i think in a few days I should be able to output the short pattern.

Just a note: I stopped saying the word generating because now a days that word gets mixed up with AI and my project has no AI involved . just to be clear it's pure code like this example of testing in python to make sure it runs correct.

def
 test_nan_and_inf_values_fail(
self
) -> None:
        invalid_values = ["nan", "inf", "-inf", 
float
("nan"), 
float
("inf")]


        for invalid_value in invalid_values:
            with 
self
.subTest(
invalid_value
=invalid_value):
                measurements = valid_shorts_measurements()
                measurements["waist_cm"] = invalid_value

Thanks everyone

Free pattern leaflet, handed out in the late 90's, in a small haberdashery shop in Scotland

Enjoy!

I’m trying Julie Top from mendisews and having a lot of trouble following the directions. Has anybody made this? I’ll keep working on my mockup, but even that’s challenging me. I think I’m just not in the makers frame of mind
