Hi! Sewing newbie here! I have a couple of questions:

I was wondering if, somewhere on the internet, there was a fashion directory/blog/website that has free sewing patterns of trendy clothes? Kind of like Worn on TV or Spotern that’s community-submitted or crowdsourced. But instead of directing you links to buy the items, it provides you sewing patterns instead!

Reason for asking is I found a cute top from Free People that I thought would be easy enough for a newbie like me to attempt. But I was hoping to be able to get the basics of it down pat: measurements, pattern, tips, how much fabric is needed if I were to upcycle, etc.

I know I have so many questions on here! Would love to hear yalls thoughts.

i wanna make this dress out of this stretch denim i have and looking for a pattern similar to this

Hello i'm trying to sew my baby's costume for halloween because if i buy it from amazon it won't arrive on time.
Does anyone knows what type of sewing pattern should i start with? im planning on using fleece.
Thanks in advance

The extra pockets or whatever I don't care about. I just like how wide it can open for packing! I want to make something like this for 1-2 night trips, to use instead of a suitcase.

Hello! I’m dressing up as pyramid head for Halloween. I bought a double sized bed sheet, and I’d like to cut it up into something I can wear. I think I’m gonna do the butcher apron version of his outfit… does anyone have suggestions or could help me figure out how to cut it? I was honestly planning on putting a shoe lace on the inside of it or something to cinch it tight or something. I’ve literally never sewn in my entire life I have no idea what I’m doing. It doesn’t have to be gorg, I have midterms coming up so I can totally redneck it. I just have issues visually understanding what cuts to make to get the right shape. TIA!

I have made a pattern for a printable pdf but really need help on how to set it up for printing on a 8.5x11 sheets. the patterns bigger and needs to be taped together. this is a sample from a pattern i have from another designer and need to set mine up simular. I use affinity but if theres a better way please let me know. My canvas in affinity is 17x14inch right now thanks

For context I’m still new to sewing, but I have a friend who can help with project

I did these sketches, and I know there’s like clothes that can have the folding stuff, except I have no idea what they’re called or how to find a pattern for it.

The second picture is the only example of something similar I had in mind, but it’s a bit too big and I want the folding parts to be a different color/fabric

Does anyone have something similar or the name of this type of design? Or is this impossible to do

I’m looking for a simple, fitted, woven mini dress pattern with a zip closure similar to the one in the photo. For some reason I’m actually having a difficult time finding one. Free is preferred! Im not sure if the photo is actually woven fabric, it’s just the closest I can find to what I’m looking for.

Hoping for: spaghetti straps, mini length (though I can hack a bit), fitted through the waist, and a scoop neckline. No AI patterns and no cups. Darts and princess seams are great!

Any advice/tips when sewing these would also be really helpful!
