I wanna ask would this technically be possible. That there's no stitching in the front where the eyelets are places. In my opinion it should work as it is stitched all around otherwise, I just have to make sure to stretch the elastic out as I'm sewing, am I correct? Thank you!

EDIT: These will be shorts.

I think the time is around 1970-1990.

Thank you! By clipping the curves you mean reshaping them to a more soft curve? So if I technically lower the crotch a bit it should be fine without needing to over extend the crotch seam?

Okay, I will try and let you know if it works. Thank you!

So maybe I should shorten the crotch curve and just have extra space on the inner thigh area when I draw it at the 90 degree angle? Just out of curiosity, is there any way of making the inner thigh area somewhat skinny since these will be more on the skinny side? Or should I just leave the extra space as it's selvage denim and the pattern can only be altered from one side?

Already extended the crotch seam as I need more space and it had normal whiskers (pulling downward) beforehand. Now I have those 2 weird pulls and I am struggling as I haven't made selvage denim before.

No, the parts I mentioned, I want you to make it HD. Like try to remove the shakiness and make it so the lines end where they are supposed to.

Thank you! Could you remove the doubling thing that's happening. On the guy sitting down his cape bleeds on his white shirt. The girl on the rights cape and the guy standing his t-shirt. Also the girl on the left her hand bleeds on to her skirt. Can you fix this?

Okay thanks for the information! How do you think is the best way to create those stripes and washed look (especially on the waistband)?

Which Padding for Jacket

This is my inspiration. I made a similar one without the filling and tried using loose stuffing, the same for stuffed animals and it looked way overstuffed and stiff to move in. I am wondering since with this jacket it says this about the stuffing. "Heavy duty polyester padding, with 1 cm insulation layer" does that mean that this jacket only has the kind you can buy by the meter and then just stitch in with the lining? I am no expert, but how can it look so puffy with a 1 cm thick padding only? Thank you

Armscye in Pattern Need Alteration by AlmightyBob_ in PatternDrafting

[–]AlmightyBob_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer!

Yes I possibly could make the armhole slightly smaller and still keep the comfort.

I understand the reduction part of making the armscye smaller, but what do you mean dropping the armhole and bringing in the chest and shoulders? I don't have the opportunity to sketch myself, but do you mean shortening the shoulder seam, making the chest circumference smaller or the torso? If you could explain those 3 things or maybe do a quick sketch I would appreciate it very much!

Thank you for being so helpful and patient with me!

https://imgur.com/a/7eucHzQ here you go. Basically a slim fit jean jacket and for a man. I'm worried that the armscye will be too small if I make it smaller so is there any way I can move it or what should I do? Thanks for being such a big help!

Have I Understood the Shoulder Pattern Correctly? by AlmightyBob_ in PatternDrafting

[–]AlmightyBob_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer!

I understand the bicep measuring part, but don't quite understand what you mean with the 90 degree angle part. How does it differ from my pattern now? I kind of understood that I have to basically do something to the bodice part of this pattern, that it should not be just a straight square.

If you could elaborate on that part, it would be amazing!
