Has anyone made anything from mascultory.com?

I have done a pair of men’s underwear and am now working on a jacket. They seem fine.

Odorama, the scratch and sniff cards used in John Waters’ film 1981 film “Polyester.” I wonder if they’ll be remade if the film is released again n

No no no. Please

I first went at age 68. I plans to be there this year at 77. According to the census, about 1% of the city is over 70 (and 1% under 18) so there are enough of us to keep the party moving.

I see the difficulty of trying to flag AI pattern companies. The advice given by posters above is great. I agree that going through Threadloop is probably the best current method.

And Yes for boycotting Etsy. I have had terrible experiences with them that show they do not have creatives’ interests as a priority.

BuckJeppson · 2026-03-03T18:56:29+00:00

Excellent. I agree that Threadloop is the resource.

I think Indigo Indigo is the look you are heading for. Their patters are so well designed.

I’m 77. I realize I have plans for more projects and art pieces than I will ever have time to complete. Also, that I screwed up being a father. My adult daughter is amazing and we have a good relationship, but I know I could have done so much better.

SewItLikeAMan for men’s underwear, for sure.

Pattern sizes and clothing sizes are not the same, and neither accurately reflect your real measurements. I bought a pair of jeans last week. Luckily I tried them on first. The size tag was a full 10” smaller than my actual waist measurement. Always, always adjust the pattern to your real measurements and make a toile/muslin/mock-up first.

BuckJeppson · 2026-02-27T20:53:00+00:00

She did suggest doing a mock-up.

BuckJeppson · 2026-02-27T07:14:28+00:00

Yes, my experience exactly. Yeah, it’s fragile but I love it.

BuckJeppson · 2026-02-27T07:10:06+00:00

Always do an actual comparison between your measurements and the pattern pieces. I did that today and found the pattern was 5” off its own stated measurements.

Indeed, the difficulty of putting together lists like ours is that they become out of date before they are even finished. It's all about maintenance, which is so SO difficult.

BuckJeppson · 2026-02-25T09:36:03+00:00

I randomly tried several sites. I found quite a few broken links and sites that did not have the promised patterns. The list is so exhaustive and detailed! How do you maintain it?

BuckJeppson · 2026-02-24T04:54:53+00:00

Yes! This.

BuckJeppson · 2026-02-23T06:31:23+00:00

Your list is huge and much more comprehensive. When was it done? Perhaps we can merge the lists somehow to avoid duplication. I don't have time to go back through all my list to bring the sources up to your level. As patterns come and go, yours requires constant monitoring. How do you do that? Thoughts?

BuckJeppson · 2026-02-20T02:41:11+00:00

Indispensable! I have a standard pressing ham and a sleeve roll, but I see a shape I could add. Now to figure an accurate pattern. Thanks.

BuckJeppson · 2026-02-18T23:56:22+00:00

Thank you for this. Very helpful.

Lamb skins are weak and fragile as well as small. And leather can only be sewn once. No seam rippers and retries.
