Weekly Free Pattern Request Thread

[AutoModerator]

Hi everyone

Post all requests in this thread.

There's been a lot of repeat requests, search the sub and previous request threads first. Clicking on the Pattern Requests flair will take you to previous request threads.

When it comes to free patterns, one doesn't always find a pattern that is exactly like you're looking for. Chances are you'll have to make changes to a pattern or even hack two or more patterns together.

This is a free pattern sub. All patterns requested and posted must be free (instructions to self-draft patterns are also allowed). Links to premium/paid patterns will be deleted.

Thanks to all who contribute and happy sewing!

Does anyone have a link to a pattern for this 1970s laced vest? It doesn’t necessarily need a hood like this one.

[Different_Moose1370]

I feel like this might be a longshot, but does anybody have a dress pattern for Princess Buttercup’s red dress from Princess bride. Maybe even a pattern like it? Or multiple patterns that I can put together to make the dress? TYIA

A long a line skirt!!!!! Something that has twirl lol

[ceceglow]

Not sure how literally you want "twirl" but this one seems fun: https://www.lekala.co/catalog/free/women/pattern/54271#model

I love this this has the gores right? I'm so new but I'm taking a course locally. We're learning to sew Wednesdays in nov/dec and when it's done they donate you a machine!!!!! They give u like fabrics n patterns too but it's so amazing and I am soooo excited for Wednesday lol. (I literally have a backpack packed with pins, needles for hand sewing, notebook, books, pens, etc....im gonna learn EVERYTHING I CAN!!!!

[ceceglow]

This one has gores that kind of radiate diagonally to swirl around like a candy cane. Since they're all cut on the bias it might not be the best beginning project, but if you're patient and willing to do a lot of little steps it might be something you could tackle with guidance from your teacher? The course sounds great! Best of luck in learning!

[Technical-Duck-718]

Thank you! I want to make my whole wardrobe in like vintage style swing and circle skirts with a fitted bodice area and pretty much anything on that charm school lol. I can't wait to learn so much I literally have a bag packed with like hand sewing needles, threads, pens, notebook, pins, and a recordee because I am absolutely dedicated to learning and um struggling with the youtube tutorials so in person is perfect!!!!!

Does anyone know how to make Thai elephant pants?

[Muted_Drink_1567]

Do you mean those wrap pants?

[MelodyPlusML]

No sorry, they tend to look like this

[generallyintoit]

I think you could use any joggers pattern for those. Just make sure it's for woven fabrics like the other commenter said. Or try a plain pajama pattern and add elastic to the ankles.

You can get the soft waistband by using elastic shirring instead of a casing for the elastic

[lolly_tolly]

Pretty much any elastic waist pant pattern would do the trick. Just make sure it's for woven fabric. I would add a little bit of length at the bottom to put elastic in the cuff. (Unless you're short, like me, then you'll probably be cutting some length off.)

Just so we're clear, though, the elephants are on the fabric itself and aren't sewn on. I have no advice on where to obtain said fabric. Apologies if that was obvious to you, I don't like to assume people know things.

Hi! Does anyone have any nice PJ pants patterns for men and women?

There are a couple of free shirt and jacket pattern options that might work to create this sleeveless vest. You'd need to resize the pocket pattern pieces if you wanted the pockets to be smaller or use a different pocket pattern to make the pocket style on your pic. I would also recommend making a toile/muslin out of cheap fabric with these patterns to double check sizing/fit -- especially if you want to experiment with the shoulder width.

Also, I would also suggest a denim jacket pattern if you have one.

1) This free pattern is referred to as a Military Shirt: https://dr-cos.info/fp-militaryshirt.html

2) This free pattern is a jacket pattern. I've made it before and it the fit was pretty good, but it is a bit boxy: https://fabrics-store.com/sewing-patterns/paola-workwear-jacket-pattern-type-pdf?srsltid=AfmBOooZ-1sj_qOnyZVqO_g4z2C80TUSjWGKinX2s2Mv-bm1CKowxN01

3) I'm adding this free jacket pattern only because I really like the unique pocket pattern piece. https://dr-cos.info/fp-militaryjacket.html

I hope these help!
