OH MY LORD I FORGOT THIS APP EXISTED

Meanwhile, I've had to alter Isobel for myself due to being too good at squats 😔

Added an elastic braid and some faux pearl beads for a stretchy closure - pretty damn close to the moon/star combo she has, and the mobility is amazing!

My god it has already been a while since I had the energy to update socials. I've had a hell of a week with personal stuff, but I'm crawling my way back to patternmaking soon!
Finally put the buttons on my Edwardian combinations 🩷 They're the working mockup for my Zelda version! Very happy now 😁✨

In my Valentine's Patreon release I'm working on the F/M versions of Astarion and Gale's underwear, as well as Minthara's At-Ease set, the Dream Visitor (aka Daisy or Wrath Robes) Robes with the shorts version as well, and Nym and Mizora's dresses (they're quite similar). Tier 1 gets Astarion only.

Throwback to that time I meticulously designed Astarion's main outfit and turned it into a graded pattern (and people made it and liked it!! 🥹💖)

Currently making a big release for 6 patterns, including the cutest underwear, Minthara, Mizora, Nym, and the Dream Visitor robe!/1

Woke up to Etsy temporarily closing my shop for the next 2-5 days, which is going to hurt me a lot financially, and is already hurting me mentally 🥲 Please consider buying my sewing patterns on shortwaistpatterns.com instead!

If I can post sword pictures on this app without being cursed like on the others I might get more annoying/dramatic

An update for 2025! (from the midst of the Galadriel whirlwind!) Silhouette published a post on Ko-fi

Hi all! I am revamping my ko-fi this year to be a better space to share my costumes, my process, and offer a way for folks to support my work if they want to enable me further! 😜

I have missed blog/style posting and I can’t wait to do more, so here’s a look at where my ideas are headed!

This picture shows a sewing pattern of a quilted gambeson with vertical quilting, a defined waistline, and an asymmetrical skirt. The skirt of the gambeson is lower, just above the knees, at the opening than at the centre back, which sits just below the hips. The opening is laced up from the waist to the high-necked collar. The model is the designer, Shortwaist Patterns, and she is holding a sword, but only slightly dramatically. The pattern sizing ranges from 23" to 53". It can be purchased on shortwaist patterns dot com or on Etsy, amongst other sites on the main profile.

This picture shows a sewing pattern of a soft cotton tunic with a ruffled collar, and trousers with assless chaps. The pattern is based on Astarion, the vampire spawn from Baldur's Gate 3.The model is the designer, Shortwaist Patterns, and she is standing with a hand on her hip. The pattern sizing ranges from 23" to 53". It can be purchased on shortwaist patterns dot com or on Etsy, amongst other sites on the main profile.

This picture shows a sewing pattern of a very deep-necked, revealing dress held onto the body with thin golden chains. The dress pattern is designed to be worn in two parts, with the majority of the dress being the front of the skirt, the bodice, and shoulders, and the second part is the back of the skirt. When the two are attached at the hip and various golden chains connected around the dress, it becomes one very comfortable - if somewhat revealing - ensemble. The pattern is based on Umbra-lee, the mermaid NPC from Baldur's Gate 3.The model is the designer, Shortwaist Patterns, and she is standing with a hand on her thigh, which, unbeknownst to the visually paired, is actually stopping this photo from being too revealing, thanks to said hand holding the dress skirt in place. There's a reason we put our favourite party member in this outfit as soon as possible. The pattern sizing ranges from 23" to 53". It can be purchased on shortwaist patterns dot com or on Etsy, amongst other sites on the main profile.

This picture shows a sewing pattern consisting of 6 pieces - two gambesons, a corset, trousers with assless chaps, and a tabard. The pattern is based on Shadowheart, the sarcastic NPC from Baldur's Gate 3. The designer, Shortwaist Patterns, has displayed the ensemble on a mannequin. The pattern sizing ranges from 23" to 53". It can be purchased on shortwaist patterns dot com or on Etsy, amongst other sites on the main profile.

Here's a few of my patterns! You may have seen me around, especially if you happened to pick up the Basic Fantasy Gambeson or Vampire At-Ease last year!

I'm currently working on some Valentine's releases, with more info on my Patreon!

Current long term project is a gorgeous Edwardian inspired Zelda design by @fiaphy on Instagram. Its been 6 months of work, with the hope of getting it wearable for Magfest 2025!
Made with the permission of the original commissioner GrangerTales, my design has elements of these two unused designs.

I should probably mention that if you're wondering "Is this grangertales from instagram?", yes, yes it is. 👋

The first thing I've gotten finished for #Astarion is his camp shirt. I accidentally made the v a little deep, but everything else turned out exactly how I wanted it

Pattern by grangertales on IG (small edits done to it)

Thank you for using my pattern!! Found you totally by accident, didn't realise the pretty shirt you were making (twice) was the one I designed! 💖
