You have two choices now that you have decided to make your clothes – either make your patterns with the help of tutorials on this site or buy commercial sewing patterns. Both are good but making paper patterns is a little bit more adventurous than getting ready-made patterns. Read on if you are up to it.

Most of the clothes available in the retails shops today are made like cookies – of the same pattern, of the same size. Without considering that God has made us all unique. No other body is the same unless you are a twin. Check out the post on How to dress according to your body shape for more on this.
I never get to the cash counter of a retail shop or look at a fashion magazine without thinking that I could make that myself. After learning to sew your own clothes, before long you will be doing it yourself.
Not that sewing is very inexpensive; It costs money to buy fabric and the factory-made general-sized clothing is sometimes very inexpensive. They don’t last long which is another matter. Think of yourself as a designer and you will be wearing good quality clothes which will last a very very long time.

It is not very difficult to make sewing patterns yourself. In fact it is easy once you know how to. Just allow yourself to make small mistakes and then you are ready to go. Make the first garment in an inexpensive fabric and you will be able to forgive yourself for the mistakes you inevitably will be making with your first few projects

Drafting a pattern can be done on the paper or the cloth directly. Once you have made paper patterns, unless your body has not changed, you can keep on sewing with the same pattern again and again.
Main advantages of using paper patterns
1. Time saving, if making the garment / or a single piece of garment like a sleeve, again; as, once you make a pattern you don’t have to waste time the next time you are making a similar dress, in taking measurement and marking on paper etc ; you can just go about choosing your fabric and start sewing.
2. Ease of use is an obvious advantage as, if we mark directly on to the fabric and if there is some alteration in the measurement, the markings you have made may mess up your cloth.
Marking tools to transfer the patterns to your fabric
A very useful and cheap marking tool which will be available to everyone is a piece of soap. Use left over thin slithers of soaps from your bathroom and store them near your cutting table. They can be used to mark on fabric- the advantage being that unlike all the traditional marking tools I have mentioned below they can easily be removed by rubbing gently with a wet cloth.
How to cut your fabric by using a pattern
For more details on cutting fabric check the post ‘ Top tips to cut fabric perfectly’ and how to determine the grainline of the fabric etc.
Pattern pieces normally represent a garment’s right half. Fold your fabric in half lengthways with right sides together. Place the paper pattern piece straight on fold and pin spaced about 10 cms apart; cut accurately. Do not forget to place one hand near the cutting line for stability while you cut with the other hand.
Some tips when marking your own patterns on to the fabric
- Mark accurately – be as precise as possible
- You do not have to mark on the 2 fabric layers but while cutting this has to be taken into account
- Always test your marking tool (chalk or pencil or tracing wheel) to see the impact on your chosen fabric and whether the mark will remain, or will it stain the fabric etc
- Be sure to use a sharp pair of sewing scissors. If your scissors are blunt the edges will turn out ragged.
- Take long cuts rather than many small cuts on straight edges and short cuts on curves.

Insightful
I noticed after doing a little research that finding boys clothing patterns have been hard 🙁 I don’t see any here either. Any sites you can recommend for boys sizes 12M-7 years for patterns?
Thanks!
Hi Michelle
For sewing patterns that you can buy check out this post for the best websites to buy {Sewing Patterns} from.
Hi,
I am interested in getting your newsletter.
I Love different types of sawing.

This is the best site I have come across for sewing clothing. I am experienced but have found lots of tips here. Love the idea of embellishing fabrics with lace – would also appreciate ideas on using fabric scraps to embellish clothing as I hate to throw them away! EG on pocket openings. Thank you/diolch/euharisto!
Hi Lesley
You are a person after my own heart. I have a ton of scraps and was thinking of doing something with them ( and making posts : ) ) I recently wrote this post on making fabric out of fabric scraps. You can make fabric flowers, fabric roses, cockades, fringes and fabric bows , ruffles clothing patches with fabric scraps. Hoping to add some more to this. Thanks for the comment.

Is there any way I can print out your tutorials? I like too many of them to save each in a window on my computer. They would be for my personal use, of course. Thanks in advance for your time to answer this … and the site!
Hi Virginia
Thanks for the interest shown- to be frank I have no idea how to print out, as I haven’t had to : )
File, print, print to pdf and save?
Fantastic site and information. THIS is how home economics sewing should be taught! I will be sharing from my sites as time goes on. Well done and much appreciated. Passing on knowledge is a blessing. Thank you!

Can I have a pattern for a sleeveless Sarie blouse I am a beginner in sewing
Very interesting and understanding
I would love to make my own pants just with elastized waist. I have a big tummy and all my pants os to narrow around my hips. Also I don’t want the legs to narrow at the bottom.
Thanks for your advise.
Am a beginner willing to learn from your site about sewing and many more wonderful ideas.

Hi, thanks so much for adding me to your email list. I found a mitering technique on your site. I want to make pillow wraps. Do you have a pattern by any chance? I’m using a store bought wrap as a pattern but I wondered if you also have one. Thanks so much.
Arlene Focht
Hey Sarina,
Thank you, I just found your princess cut choli.
Hi Jennifer
I do not think the princess cut choli as you say is the right one for you – that is a sari blouse. You can draft a simple lehenga top by following the pattern for the basic bodice
slam to all, i like your all these things its very interesting and beautiful.
i love to all……..
I’m trying to find a pattern for a jumpsuit and romper, Thank you
Like yourdresses
I am trying to find a pattern to make a split turtleneck. Do you have one? I need to know where to place the split, on the shoulder seam or more towards the front also, should I use knit fabric?
It might be a little unusual to find a man keen on sewing, and although I have three daughters, so it isn’t hard to have projects to keep busy with, I don’t really sew anything for myself. Most of the clothes designs around are quite samey and not very inspiring (which I guess reflects the limited sense of adventure men have when dressing). I am a keen maker with anything but prefer working with natural fabrics, and have a drawer full of cottons and a drawer full of silks that I brought back from Cambodia and Thailand. Do you have any ideas and tips I might use when designing or making for myself?
(As to websites, I have a sculpture one, just to introduce myself, and because I didn’t want to leave the box below blank 🙂 )but haven’t been brave enough to put one together of clothes or food yet!
Hi Pete
Thanks for your comment . I will add some men’s clothing here. You are so right , not much fun in men’s clothes – but I see it changing gradually
Hello, thank you so much for the website! May I kindly ask you to add some patterns for men’s clothes. Thank you!
Hi Denis
Thanks for the comment ; will try my best
I’m really disappointed at the lack of men’s patterns on sewing sites like this. There’s nothing for men and 500 different things for women.
I can tell from your response to Denis, there will be no men’s patterns any time soon. It’s been a year and a half, have you added even a single pattern for men besides boxer shorts? It’s really frustrating.
Hi Royce
I understand your feeling; Will try to add some – but from my side I have to be motivated to sew for men 🙂 But with women’s clothes motivation is always there.:) Cheers
Wow…the instructions to make patterns are very clear. Keep up the good work. Really happie to come across your website , inspires me to learn more and share more 🙂 You are making this world a better place to live 🙂
Divya,
Thank you so much for the kind words . inspires me to write more 🙂
I love this site. It is a wonderful tool for learning to sew.
Hi Angel
