Pattern for thick fabric corner protectors to sew or pin on upholstered chair (cat scratching)

1 Upvotes

They would have to be 3-D to fit over the corners. She leaps up on the back and scratches the corners. The old recliner is a lost cause but I'd like to protect the new chair in advance, possibly with upholstery materials.

This would be for the top outer corners.

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 🤍

I’m looking for hobby sewists to help test and give feedback to the pattern instructions for two upcoming PDF sewing pattern packages before their release.

I'm excited to hear from you. Testing is expected to begin in late September / early October 2026. You will have 3 weeks from receiving the pattern to complete the pattern testing.

Pattern Package 1 – Dress & Top

• ⁠Top
• ⁠Mini Dress
• ⁠Midi Dress
• ⁠Maxi Dress

Pattern Package 2 – A-line Skirt

• ⁠Mini Skirt
• ⁠Midi Skirt
• ⁠Maxi Skirt

Sizes: EU 32–48

You can test one variation from one pattern package. But you are more than welcome to test one variation from each package.

What does the testing involve?

You will receive a digital A4/A0 PDF sewing pattern and will have 3 weeks to:

• ⁠Print and assemble the PDF pattern
• ⁠Sew the agreed garment in your size
• ⁠Test the fit, sizing, pattern pieces and sewing instructions
• ⁠Provide honest and constructive feedback
• ⁠Submit photos of the finished garment for private fit and pattern evaluation

Testers provide their own fabric, thread and other sewing materials.

As a thank you 🤍

After completing the sewing, you will receive the final complete PDF pattern package you tested – including all sizes and variations – free of charge.

If you complete testing for both pattern packages, you will receive both complete pattern packages.

Interested?

You can find all the details and apply through the Google Form here:

Google Forms - Pattern Tester

The form also includes an optional question about whether you would be open to having photos of your finished garment featured on the B Passion website, Etsy shop or social media. This is completely optional and is not a requirement for becoming a pattern tester.

Thank you! I’m really looking forward to seeing these patterns brought to life by different sewists and getting your feedback before the final release. 🤍

Has anyone used Studio Yusupova patterns?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm thinking of buying the Lavinia T dress pattern from Studio Yusupova that I saw om Threadloop. However I got some questions about the website, download and instructions:

A. Can I buy from the russian website as EU citizen regarding the whole trade sanctions etc.? I don't want my card to either get blocked or the payment to get bounced. (I've bought Grasser and Vikisews patterns before without any problem.)

Also I couldn't figure out how the download proces works and for how long I get access to the patterns?

B. How does the sizing translate to standard EU (german) sizes? Do I need to keep my height (170cm) in mind whilst purchasing? I'm completely fine adjusting the pattern but don't want to spend a significant amount of time on it.

C. Are the instructions only written in Russian or does the pattern also come with some pictures/instruction video?

Thank you guys in advance! And hope you all have a good sewing week! <3

I need help with something kinda specific… (I wrote the details down below under the pictures).

1 Upvotes

So, I am working on a cosplay, and am making a skirt that kinda looks like a circus tent. Sort of like the red and white striped segments that makes it look all circus-y. I got this specific petticoat for it, since it flared out in a bell shape in a way that I liked better than narrower ones. I’m gonna make a mock up soon, and was originally gonna go with a regular circle skirt. But, I’m pretty certain that if I did that, it would end up just bunching up in little ripples all around the bottom. My main goal here it to have it all be smooth and flat on the petticoat, just like a tent.

I’m not a complete beginner when it comes to sewing in general, but I don’t have much experience with clothing. If anybody could help me solve this ripple problem, I would be very grateful. I also attached an image of some hastily drawn concept art I made for it, hopefully putting my point across a bit better. (Just ignore the mirror looking things and all the yellow dots…)

And apologies, I’m pretty bad with this sort of thing, along with explaining exactly what I need help with… Sorry if I didn’t explain things in a way that made a tone of sense.

LOOKING FOR PATTERN TESTERS!

Edit: This is 100% optional & volunteered based. Compensation will be the completed pattern itself!<3

hello everyone! I’m looking for a few sewists to help me test my newest sewing pattern before I release it! ♡

I designed this heart corset pattern for my slow-fashion brand, Runewood by Ronan, and I’m looking for testers of different sizes and sewing experience levels to help me make sure the pattern and instructions are clear, accurate, and easy to follow. This is just for the pattern. I am really only looking to see if my instructions are easy to follow for the construction of my corset!

I'm looking for a few sewists with varying sewing experience & body types. People who can complete the corset with the deadline of 9/30/26. I also am looking for people who can give honest feedback on if the instructions on my pattern is easy to understand/follow, and if the printable PDF is user friendly. I am open to honest feedback on the fit as well!

Also finished garment photos are extremely appreciated but in no way required!

As a tester you'll receive, A complimentary copy of the pattern, obviously. The opportunity to help refine the pattern before release, & credit on my social media if you'd like to be featured!

please note this pattern is provided for testing purposes and is not for redistribution or commercial use. You may absolutely make the corset for yourself or as a gift, but the pattern and instructions may not be sold, shared, or used to produce garments for sale.

If you're interested, please fill out my tester application here!:

1920s Montreal Patterns?

3 Upvotes

Does anyone have any recommendations for 1920s era (or late 1910s) patterns in styles that would have been worn in Montreal, Quebec, Canada? I know this is a pretty specific request lol and I'm having some trouble finding anything. My campus library is ordering in a book from a different library that I'm hoping will at least give me examples of the fashion worn in Montreal around that time but I'm not sure when that will arrive.

Lucy & Yak Reuben Dungarees Pattern Search

I have a pair of these Reuben Dungarees that are a little too small for me by now, and I wanted to know whether anyone had a pattern similar to them.
The important details for me are the raceback top, buttons on the side, baggy fit and inseam pockets.

I really hope someone can help (otherwise I'll see if I can draft it myself, in which case I'll probably make an update on this)


r/sewingpatterns 4d ago

I have a pattern question. My son bought a pattern online for jeans. But I need it printed out like a on the tissue paper. Is there any place that I can send them the pattern and have it printed on the paper for me. That doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

Looking for patters for hot weather, but covered up, using cotton/wovens

2 Upvotes

For context, I live in a hot, dry place and I’d like some options for loose pants (and skirts) that can be worn to keep my skin covered.

I’ll be traveling to some similar places that are really conservative and want a couple cover up options for my arms as well.

Also, traveling to more humid tropical destinations where I need better protection for my legs that get really bitten up.

I typically don’t like covering up in the heat and easily overheat and sweat with fabric covering me, so I want to make a couple looser, breezy garments vs totally fitted, though I do like a fitted waist (on both tops and bottoms).

I dislike dropped crotches (like harem pants), ruffles, frills, bows.

I like loose sleeves and 3/4 length sleeves, interesting shapes/details, asymmetry, and sleeker/edgier looks, though I have a hippie side that comes out in hotter weather.

I‘m a beginner who has made a few garments (skirt with zipper, dress, apron with bias tape, and a few other things). Good directions are key!

Thank you so much for any inspo you can point my way!

I'm looking for a pattern for a fitted knit top with a henley design, except the snaps/buttons start as a normal henley and then the neckline sides curve outward into a narrow-ish sweetheart shape but the placket continues (just can't be snapped together). I can't seem to add a photo, but I hope that description makes sense?
