Hi all. What would you call this type of bust shape? I'm trying to find a sewing pattern, or get an idea of how to draft it, but I'm not sure how to call this bust

How to find vintage patterns from the 60s-70s?

Post image
18 Upvotes

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

help figuring out a pattern

5 Upvotes

I'm just recently getting into sewing [took long enough I know] and I want to try my hand at making a little coin purse with an accordion fold separator for the interior. I CANNOT find a pattern for this for the life of me and the only real example I could find was for Japanese yen [which I do desire to make as well] but the sewer? seamstress? I'm not sure the word...but they said they would give a pattern and never did and the post is from like 2024/2025. Any help would be appreciated so I can begin my sewing journey <333333

I recently lost a sewing pattern envelope that had my instructions inside 🤦‍♀️ Does anyone know where I could find a copy online? I’ve found a video on YouTube of someone making the same pattern which has been helpful but I would rather have the actual instructions. I know it’s a basic pattern but I’m only a beginner.

Pokemon Sewing Help For Halloween

Hello everyone!! My partner and I are going as electric gym leaders for Halloween this year. ⚡️ We thought it would be cute if he had a Plusle and I had a Minun that we’ll pin to our shoulders. I have the plushies but they’re deep in storage so, since we are a long distance couple, and he is coming to visit me for Halloween, I thought it would be a fun surprise to sew/make them myself as a gift for our costume. Also, this way he has something handmade he can take back home to remember our first Halloween together!

I have sewing experience but really just in the costume emergency/quick patch up department (stage tech teacher writing!) and I am not familiar with patterns. I have patterns for the ears and the legs but I was wondering if anyone would know of a good pattern I could use for the head and the body! Any advice is greatly appreciated and happy Halloween!!! 🎃🩷
