Hello fellow humans! My name is Christina and I make dynamic sewing patterns for free. You can create your sewing patterns on the fly even with your own measurements! Check out https://www.dressdeveloper.com/
After cutting hundreds of sheets of paper to create sewing patterns I am finally giving pattern projection a try!
I have made a little video to show you how I use an affordable projector to throw my #sewing patterns directly onto my fabric:

Big Update!
I have just released the layout tool to my website. It allows you to create cutting layouts, see the amount of fabric needed and download projector files
More details in the video: youtu.be/-IdBVZvsYjM

Woman in a red dress with her hand in the large pockets
Made a new dress pattern with extra large pockets :)
The pockets sit inside the front outer skirt panel so there are extra secure. The width of the pockets vary with your body measurements and skirt fullness.
You can find the free pattern here: www.dressdeveloper.com/sewingpatter...

Piecing is always an option. 🙂 in the end, the pockets were only slightly too short, so that was fine in this case.

Pattern pieces ( sleeve, pocket, part of princess line panel) on deep blue fabric
Close call. Probably need to shorten the pockets to get two pairs out of it. But better than large leftovers, right? 😉 #sewing

I am truly sorry, but I just cannot get the fit right. And I don't want to put out a pattern which I am not 100% satisfied with.
I might revisit this pattern someday, but right now I need a break from that damn thing. I do have ideas, though. :D
Oh, I’m looking forward to that Kermit dress!

Bugfix Day!
I made some small corrections on my free #sewing patterns: cutting instructions on facing, neckband width and hem addtion.
I always appreciate if you let me know if you have any problems while creating a pattern on www.dressdeveloper.com - I can only fix bugs I know about. ;)
If you are interested into a little behind the scenes: I have documented my process of creating an empire style top for my upcoming dress pattern.

I made a big mistake with hemming my latest sweater dress with plain whip stitches. The hem broke after 2 wears because it yould not stretch with the fabric. So I redid the hem with the good old herringbone stitch. This one should last! ;)

Collage of four photos of different sleeves: A sleeve with stretchy cuff, a simple streight sleeve, a sleeve with buttoned cuff and a short sleeve. Over it the text: "All the sleeve patterns you'll ever need"
Your pattern has no sleeve or you don't like the sleeve it came with? Just measure your armscye and arm and let my software create a new sleeve for you, no math required.

Two pattern pieces, dress back and sleeve spread out on fabric on a table.
Let me tell you a little cutting trick. This dress flairs out at the bottom so I cannot cut front and back next to each other. But if I move the fabric fold a bit, I can wiggle one sleeve out of it. When I cut the front, I will flip over the sleeve and cut the opposing one. Save fabric! #sewing

The different hood types displayed as photo and line drawings: A simple two-part hood, a three-part hood and a three-part hood with facing and lining
So I made something a bit different. With this pattern www.dressdeveloper.com/sewingpatter... you can create a hood pattern for basically every top pattern.
What do you think? I might do something similar for sleeves, would you be interested?

I designed this pattern to be a Raincoat out of Softshell, but I can see it in a wool, too.
The pattern is available for free in sizes EU 32-60, and you can also create it using your own mesurements!
