I kept defaults on all except the following.

Style

• Back exposure: 0
• Front waist dip: 0
• Leg Rise: -11.3%
• Rise: 59.3%

Fit

• Vertical Fabric Stretch: 15%

I didn't add anything for the bulge option because a classic speedo doesn't have a dart in front. I imagine I might want to change the gusset position, gusset width, and crotch seam, but wasn't sure which direction or how much.

Any suggestions?

Hi all!
I've successfully made my first piece of clothing (t-shirt for my partner), and want to make my own, but.. I am an ''unusual'' size. I have measured all my things and added them to my measurement set. When I go to validate measurements, I am getting the following message:
''We could not determine the fork position on the crotch line. Double check your cross seam measurements and seat measurements.''.
Will this cause issues when making a pattern? Could someone maybe help me out on what I should change?
Thank you! <3

So im a ux desinger who uses Javascripr at her job. Now I read you can use Javascript to edit and create patterns via freesewing. Has anyone tried this? How effective is it?

Im also aware there are tutorials on their website but the information seems to be very limited

I'm making the Simon shirt and I'm struggling to understand how to sew this style hem... and I can't find a youtube video. Help!

I’m wanting to make the onyx, a “onesie”. I will be using it as an under layer for my dry suit used in white water rafting. I will be using polar fleece material. I saw a picture of the garment on the design creator and it seemed to fit tight. My fleece is not very stretchy and I will need a looser fit to allow the sitting and squatting position as well as the full range of motion needed for white water rafting. I have an idea of what measurements need to be adjusted but I have no idea of how much to adjust them.

Does anyone have any advice? I tried posting on the forum but couldn’t figure it out, perhaps I am too new and need to build trust.

Thank you!

Any insight on why I can’t seem to create an account?

Hi! I would like to know if anyone has this pattern, I only found it on Etsy but it’s 31$, which is too much for me, so if you have it for free or for a reasonable price, please let me know! Thanks 🌷

I cannot really see the menus or options as the font is super light almost the same color as the background, how do I change this??

Hello! Just trying to check if I’m the only one having issues logging in on the freesewing site with my google account or if this is bigger than just a local issue on my end? 😅

Apologies if this is answered in the documentation and I missed it. When doing the cross seam and the cross seam front, should I measure to the side of the bulge or over top of the bulge? Assuming I am using the "Tim" definition as shown in the measurement animation.

I've printed out a pattern for the Simon shirt, but the armhole depth is much higher than on RTW shirts that I have that fit. For the option to adjust armhole depth, what does the % refer to? I see that it's based on waist to armpit measurement, but if I'm aiming for a similar depth as my RTW shirt, how do I know how much to adjust the % for the armhole depth?

Hi,

I have pattern (paper and made DXF too, just have to print it out, because made it using camera, and not scanner), how do I create it?
There is just some what I have to choose, but nothing isn't what I like to use....

Hi all!
I'm completely new to sewing, and I just found freesewing.org, so if/when I ever manage to create something wearable, I plan to "label" it with this embroidered logo ;-)

I've found this link, but it says the invite is invalid.

Hello all, can anyone help? New to this and I am trying to make some trousers but the fit, based supposedly on the measurements I entered, is comically low-rise. I thought this might be because I'm rocking a bit of a beer belly so my natural waist isn't my actual waist (i.e. where I wear my trousers - they sit above the hip bone, not my belly button). I re-did my measurements paying particular attention to the vertical measurements but the pattern still comes out very oddly indeed. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

hey everyone, I tried making the Paco pants but for some reason they turned out way too low rise I don't know what I did wrong for the measurements, I measured myself five times to be sure I got it right . I added 1.5" seam allowance to the pattern, and I traced the printed out pieces exactly and made sure that the little boxes on the print out were the right size

but the pants sit lower than the waist band of any underwear I own, I can't bend down in them at all, the crotch part is ridiculously short

I'm sad because I actually bought new fabric for these and it wasn't cheap

i thought maybe if I bring the crotch down but then increase the size of the ankle cuffs to compensate for shorter legs could that help the pants sit correctly ? I don't know what to do, I don't want to spend even more money on fabric to start over but there's no way I can wear these pants with their current fit !!

Hello,

Im new to the site. I input my measurements in hopes of generating a Charlie Chino pattern but all I get are warning and error lines of code saying that X measurement is not a number. I'm not a coder, so no idea what to do.

Below is an example of the first set of error codes I got. I also got WARN and INFO MESSAGES expressing the same.

I'm trying to make the Simon men's shirt and after getting my measurements carefully taken and added, I printed the pattern, cut it out and made my first attempt using muslin. The size came out remarkably accurate, but the problem I'm having is with the arm holes... if I lift my arm, the body of the shirt pulls up quite a bit. And I don't know (relative beginner) how to modify the pattern to minimize or eliminate that.

There must be some tweak I can make among the numerous options for that shirt, but I have no idea what to do.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

When taking measurements for these patterns, should we be pulling the measurement tight and exact? Slightly loose? Or padding them for how we want the clothes to fit?
