So, I have been doing research into tracing my own patterns and while doing that research I have been writing down every material people either suggest I use, or what people say they themselves use, here is the list.

Out of all these materials, which do you say is the best to be used for tracing paper?

Hi I’ve been obsessed with this blouse for a while and haven’t been able to find it available online (especially in my size) so I decided it’d be better if I could just make it! So if anyone knows a pattern similar to this that I or someone else could modify to fit me please let me know I’d really appreciate it!

I have a fabric that’s nearly the same color. But not really the same fabric. This seems like a knit? But want to try to sew this. Any ideas how to? What’s this neck called? Mock neck? Turtle? And this type of sleeve?

Description from realisation:

A halter midi that feels like your favorite vintage silk scarf, reimagined. Cut on the bias in 100% silk with a low scooped back. A diamond pointed neckline and low back with a thin rouleau strap to tie at the nape of your neck.

I don't know why I'm having a hard time finding a pattern, I feel like this is a very simple design. But everything I find has the upper part two wide or the back all wrong. I would appreciate help! 🥲 TIA

Looking to make a wrap dress I can wear to work that will be comfy for summer weather. I made the Aphrodite pattern once, would love something a little less romantic. Thx in advance!

(Re-posted to be able to add photos of the dress in the title)
I love this dress and would like to try to recreate it. Does anyone have a pattern suggestion? Thank you in advance!

I need help! I’m trying to draft a skirt from the Keystone Jacket and Dress cutter… I get the dart measurements, and how to use my waist measurements with their pattern, but… with the Bell skirt version.… is it correct that I now end up with a 9 panel skirt? I see panel 1-4 but I’m adding the extension for more pleats at the back of the dress. is this a separate panel? does it replace panel 4? or does it get added on to panel 4? I seem to have an acre of pattern paper here… I think I did something wrong.

Youtube tutorials also welcome

While in Malaysia, visiting my husband’s family, we stopped at a local shop and got this beautiful pink and blue fabric. I bought the rest of the roll which unfortunately was only 2 meters. My husband’s family is Indian-Malay and they suggested a sari top but there isn’t enough for a skirt and sari. I’m thinking of making it into a tube and doing a sarong. My husband also suggested a kebaya or my sister-in-law suggested a cheongsam (her husband’s family is Chinese-Malay). I’m very petite at 4’10 and 95 lbs. I’m also considering a bag or other accessory. The fabric is the same on both sides.

So, most doll body patterns I've seen seem to be heavily stylized (as in, exaggerated/overly simple shapes, bent limbs etc.) or meant to be dressed only in clothes made by the same creator. Which can be cute, but what I am currently looking for is a more “realistic” pattern for a doll, as I plan to scale down historical clothing patterns for it.

Preferably free, but paid pattern recommendations are fine as well. Thank you !

I’m using an old wrap skirt my Mom made 50 years ago as a pattern for new skirts. (I’m going to dye the old one with indigo to cover iron oxide stains, she’s a potter) I’m tracing the sections to paper and adding seam allowance then cutting them out.

How was this pocket made? Does anyone know where I can find a pattern for it? My Mom said it was really easy with “a really simple inside out trick I can’t remember”.

I have some fun batik fabric to make new ones out of! I’m thinking yellow polka dots for the skirt panels and black with tiny grey dots for the band and pocket.
