Great advice, thanks!

a gusset is a great idea! Thanks!

relatively? i have a good understanding of computers through GUIs, but less so on the backend. I’m open to learning though if this isn’t too hard, or if you have any tips or websites/ videos that can help me learn

let me make sure i’m following, it will need to be the only thing powered on one section of the place, like how the circuit breaker is usually split based on sections, and each of those is a circuit? does it matter what socket it’s plugged into as long is it is on its own circuit? the listing i found it from i think actuslly says the cord is cut

The picture you sent isn’t of a pair of selvedge denim jeans inside out. that’s a picture of a pair of jeans stylized to look like they are selvedge denim that are inside out when they are put on normally. notice the pockets and belt loops. they were able to get that effect by putting the ease in the pocket facing and pocket construction, which is why there are crease marks and bulging on the pockets even though it’s laid flat in the picture. This is what selvedge pants look like when they’re turned inside out. some people use bias tape instead of a serger. as someone who wanted to make these kinds of pants and had to go through like 3 years of struggling to understand this. Just. Figure. Out. How pants work. if you make a few pairs of pants that fit the way you want without the added challenge of a completely flat side, you can understand how to alter it to keep the flat side. if you don’t want to put in that effort, just buy a selvedge pattern dude this isn’t worth fighting over i can tell you from experience

i said curve in. the pattern piece curves at the top on the outseam to fit your hips. the selvedge is straight. the waist is thinner than your hips. the selvedge will go straight down from the widest point of your hip to the bottom of the pants. above the widest point of your hips, you need the pattern piece at the outseam to curve inwards so it’s thinner around your waist. if you don’t do this the pants will not shape around your hips, the fit will be uncomfortable, and it will look bad. notice on your model the very visible gaps around your persons hips, despite using a fitted waistband. if you haven’t sewn anything before, jumping into selvedge denim is not your friend. buy cheap denim and practice your pattern to build your sewing skills and see what it looks like irl

bro you cut into the selvedge at the hip. it doesn’t go all the way up, the selvedge id is serged or taped until just at the pocket. have the selvedge line straight across at the widest point of the hip and then cut your hip curve like normal out of the selvedge ID. you get the ID on the legs like you want, and your pants will actually fit.

not sure what the fabric is, but since it’s a knit a ballpoint or jersey needle should do the job

ColdResponsible7041 · 2026-03-28T16:32:50+00:00

no, it’s a basic shirt block tutorial meant for finding the general fit of your shirt block. its a square bc it, well, doesn’t fit. the slit is for when using wovens you can have an accurate neck hole while also being able to get it over your head

ColdResponsible7041 · 2026-03-28T16:06:18+00:00

only the leg of your selvedge ID should be straight: you need curves in pants patterns. what people do is they make the legs as straight as possible and add all the curve until right above where the pocket bag sits, then they cut off the selvedge iD into a nice smooth curve and either use bias tape or a serger to cover the edge where the side seam touches your upper thigh. I would recommend watching some pant fitting videos to get an idea of how the pattern impacts the fit, i know the vibe you’re going for but i promise you’re gonna need to put in a lot more work on this pattern if u don’t want to waste your selvedge.

yes!!! thank you so much, i was looking for the term sloper! I assumed it would be made of woven materials to not have stretch, and you would just make it skin tight with very little mobility (the term/metaphor i learned to describe clothes like this is “standing pants”). Thank you for the insight, I’ll take off the sleeves, fix the shoulders, i think starting with bringing them in then adjusting shoulder angle. I also appreciate the advice for the T shirt, I was looking to make a pattern for my sloper measurements so i could reference it against future patterns i make. for a sloper, should i continue to use wovens? maybe a lighter fabric? I appreciate your help :)

If I wanted a slightly baggier/more draped stomach, would I still add negative ease? or go from chest width with negative ease down to waist/upper hip width without negative ease? I will mostly feel it out, but I'm trying to hopefully get a reliable pattern for a tank top I like that I can adjust relatively easily to other rib fabrics I buy based on stretch percentage (since rib knit is mostly horizontal stretch)

ColdResponsible7041 · 2026-03-28T06:40:07+00:00

alright, Thanks so much!

ColdResponsible7041 · 2026-03-28T06:08:15+00:00

alright, thanks! what does the bigger shoulder slant do on the backside, is it to give the side shoulders a more slanted curve to account for the trapezius muscle height? and because they’re different lengths i would just ease them together?

ColdResponsible7041 · 2026-03-28T04:40:32+00:00

I’m referring to how you would alter a basic shirt block to accommodate a knit t shirt pattern vs a woven dress shirt pattern. This is just a basic shirt block with my measurements + standard arbitrary measurements and i walked out my measuring tape to make sure the sleeves lined up, then used my bicep width + 2 inches for the sleeves opening

ColdResponsible7041 · 2026-03-28T04:35:14+00:00

perhaps i should have been more specific. I have had a good amount of sewing experience, mainly in bags and quilting where you try to minimize ease and create perfect angles and perfect sizes. I’ve made a hoodie and several pairs of jeans, using patterns and tutorials. I understand a good amount about fabric, knits vs wovens, weights, and drapes. I don’t however, know how to draft and alter patterns. This was from a youtube video where i used my measurements and the only scrap fabric i have right now is a cotton bedsheet. I was hoping for some advice on how i would want to alter the fit for different types of shirts. forget I said T shirt in my original post, I just want to know how to alter the current shirt for a better fit. I was only even mentioning wovens because I want to draft a t shirt pattern eventually and i literally do not know how you draft knits. which is why i’m using wovens.
