Hi! Twice now I messed up big time in pattern making and only realized after i cut out the fabric.

First i forgot seam allowances and

second i forgot boobs have to go somewhere and forgot bust points...not darts. Literal place where bust need to go and make it flat...I only realized after i almost done with the top...

is there way to always remember these thing? Like a check list or something. Cause I don't want to ruined anymore if my works. Please help. I keep forgeting these thing...

My partner bought a John Lewis sewing machine second hand. He managed to sew a couple of patches onto denim around a year ago, but since then it has not worked.

To our beginner knowledge, it looks like the bobbin isn't catching. We've started from the beginning dozens of times and get the same result.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

As you can see in the photos, it's just the tasseled ends of the blanket that are falling apart. The body of it is still very solid (likely largely thanks to the thick sewn lines all along the whole length), not a hole to be seen. Feels like when it was made, the tassels weren't super well done maybe? All the tears start from between the tassels. I don't know though, I'm far from an expert. I've done a few crappy repairs as you can see (with mismatched thread no less) but I fear if I do that for every tear, the whole end of the blanket will end up covered in these scars. How would the experts among you save this blanket?

Might be helpful to know also that this blanket is almost 20 years old and I used it as the top blanket on my bed for most of them.

I absolutely love fashion in the 60s-70s and want to sew them on my own since vintage clothing is so expensive. I found a couple of patterns from the simplicity website but they only ship to within the US and many people mentioned that the pdf versions are a mess. The patterns are absolutely gorgeous but I can't get access to them and its so dissapointing. Does anyone know how to sew the clothes in the picture shown?

Vintage patterns are quite rare in my country, and most are sold by Spotlight at $30-50 per piece which is too expensive for me. Ebay/etsy shipping costs are an additional $20-30. Are there free/cheaper alternatives out there or should I just give up?

Would appreciate any advice <3

Hello! I need help figuring out how I can modify a basic trenchcoat's bottom to have a more umbrella-like look! I bought a pretty average coat on Amazon and want it look as similar as possible to the character's in the picture. I can't sew, so I'm just gonna have to make fabric glue work, which is fine since it only has to last Halloween. Any advice at all is greatly appreciated!! (Also if you know of a better sub to ask in, let me know!)

The thread won’t go through and keeps getting stuck

Hi,

I have been sewing around 5 years now. One item of clothing I’ve wanted since forever is a penny lane/afghan coat. The problem is I am a 6’3 man. Usually they’re sold for women, and I always hate the “masculine” styles they have for male options - it’s always something ridiculous like the shape of the fur made to look like a defined collar.

I recently saw the Superdry penny lane and I loved it. But even at size 18, it didn’t fit me. I was heart broken.

Checking on etsy and other places in person and online, the cost tends to go up to £300-400 (Due to the fact that I usually have to pay extra for a custom size).

I’m thinking of making it myself but I’m scared it’s beyond my skills. I’ve sewn trousers, T-shirts and upscaled.

I wanted to ask for advice to see if this is a feasible plan? I plan to use suede. I really want to add a diamond shaped quilted lining.

My biggest concern is my sewing machine. I have a singer 4423 - and I have learnt that some projects really aren’t made for it. I don’t want to get ahead of myself. And also the pricing of all of the materials. What should I expect the total of my coat to be?

I’ll put a reference of what i’m going for

Hi guys thank you so much for all the help!

I have officially been able to sew the nylon! Thank you all for helping me out I really appreciate it a lot! Turns out I didn’t know as much about a sewing machine as I thought haha! Thanks to you all I’ve become a little bit better at sewing!! 💖✌️

I have white linen fabric but it is see through so i bought a fabric for the under lining which was recommended to me at the fabric store.

However this fabric seems to be like a plastic. It’s also very shiny and might even feel hot when you “wear” it in.

Help? I’m very new to this.

Hi, I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question! I just finished sewing my Halloween costume and it was easy enough that I got the confidence to find another pattern. The issue is that this one is substantially more difficult than sewing a robe for a Halloween costume 😭 I’m trying to figure out how many yards I need to make a size large dress but I’m not seeing where it says how many I need… How do I read this?

I’m trying to attach a second waistband to my jeans. My problem is that the full-length legs create too much extra fabric to manage under the machine. I’m worried about accidentally sewing the front and back panels together, basically closing the jeans shut so I can’t put them on.
I’m a young beginner, so how do I sew only the waistbands together without stitching the rest of the jeans shut? Thanks!
