sewing patterns for beginners
Does anyone know where to find good sewing patterns?


i’ve been trying to start sewing my own clothes but the patterns i find are always (in my opinion) really cheap looking and not my style at all. my style is somewhat vintage inspired. i’ve tried finding vintage patterns but the fits are not what i’m looking for. here, for instance, is an example of a skirt i’d love to make, and i’m sure there is a pattern similar enough to it, but i can’t find one anywhere:

just simple clothes that a beginner can attempt. if you need anymore ideas of what i’m looking for check out ModCloth.com and look at their clothes that look as if they were sewn by someone, not factory made.

help is greatly appreciated!

thanks.
