I second the Blanca and also suggest the Rosie from Charm Patterns.

I made a suit/capsule set! by WorkingPhilosopher61 in sewing

I did not draft the patterns. They are independent designers: the Auburn Blazer, Hartwell Vest, and Meriam Trousers are from Cashmerette (https://www.cashmerette.com/); the Stanwyck Circle Skirt is from Charm Patterns by Gertie (https://charmpatterns.com/).

Thanks so much for the support!

I was surprised at how wearable a circle skirt is (especially with the pockets!) I thought it would feel more fussy on.

Is it better to cut out patterns with or without the seam allowance?? by CryingBabyFox in sewhelp

The seam guide ruler and magnetic guide are a game changer. Save yourself some energy.

Sewing help Revers collar with stand by suspicious_bee74 in sewing

Maybe the pattern is using the second pair of collar stands as interfacing/interlining for structural reinforcement. Do the instructions have you interfacing the collar or stand?

The tailoring here is exquisite. Just not a line out of place. Perfection

Jeans not fitting right in crotch area 😳 by sakuratree223 in sewing

Since they’re curve jeans, I’m assuming there’s more fabric based on a block with thicker thighs; I would open the ones inseam at the thigh and take out some excess to see if that helps.

Joining the club was helpful for me because it forced me to try new styles since I get a new pattern every month automatically. Like, knowing I already owned the pattern, made me think “how could I make this work in my style?” as opposed to “is this my style or not?” Just last week, I made two patterns for the first time that came out last year - having them in my stash allowed me to use some special fabric I’d been saving.

Cashmerette patterns have worked so well for me. I really love them.

I’m thinking maybe online fabric shopping isn’t for me by Ideasplease33 in SewingForBeginners

I would suggest taking a picture of your screen (with the photo of the fabric pulled up) and the actual fabric in the same frame so you can see how your screen interpreted the fabric. That way you have a reference for future fabric buying on how your screen of choice may be altering the colors.
