Toile: Baggy Shirt

Not as baggy as I hope for. Should add another 8 cm to 12 cm full chest ease, and make the shirt bit longer.

Adjust the seam allowances according to the seam type you want.

Style3D Atelier vs Marvelous Designer

My one week experience of using Style3D Atelier. (Don't confuse with Style3D Studio)

PROS:

1. Affordability.

Free version available for non-commercial use. I believe you cannot export high quality 3D model with the free ...

Style3D

I just found out about this Clo3D competitor because I received a promotional email offering 6 months free individual license.

From my cursory research, this is a legit alternative especially to Marvelous Designer. Not so for Clo because it lacks support for real life garment production.

I plan to take ...

I use the Clo avatar measurement for this one because it is almost identical to my body form.

Toile: Women Leather Zip-up Jacket

I'm taking a short break.

Just a head up the next upload will be delayed by one to two weeks because I decided to touch grass for a while. I hope you guys don't mind because this I've been consistently making 4-5 garments without fail each month since I started this Patreon.

Don't worry, I'll come back more energized then ever and I'll try to squeeze in more garments next month. I already have a few milestones tha...

Clo tip: Seam type

I just found out that there is another alternative seam that you can use in Clo. The default seam is plain seam shown below:

Leather Zip-up Jacket

Reference garment: Brunello Cucinelli Glove Leather Zip-Up Hooded Jacket

This is just regular raglan sleeve hoodie with leather fabric and linings. Maybe they cut a lot of panels because smaller pieces of leather are easier to source.

IRL update: Projector

I finally bolted my projector to the wall so no more wobbly projector.

If you don't like printing patterns, I highly recommend set-up like this. This projector is quite cheap at around 90$ and the stand/bracket is about 8$. It also has built-in miracast so I can cast my document directly from PC via wifi.

The hardest part is to drill the wall. But it is not that hard though. This is...

Toile: Men Jeans.

First time ever sewing a jeans. Learn a lot. You can download the file here. The pdf is for projector, not printing.

I use this new cheap fabric I bought instead of...

Men Jeans

Original instruction from ESMOD men “Jean trouser base” (p150). Waistband (p188).

Not recorded: Buttons, coin pocket, topstiches, puckering and other small adjustment.

Fabric: Woven. I use stretch denim.

This time, I make the waistband curve...

Toile: Panties

The fabric is not stretchy enough, especially for vertical direction. I'll use four-way stretch fabric next time.

I use fold-over elastic to finish the edge. The elastic length is shortened to 90%.

I also added a crotch piece.

Download link. The pdf...

Panties

No reference to specific brand.

Instruction from EDA 8 "Panties" (p23).

The original instruction is to use measurement 2 to 3 size lower. From the chart, I figure that each size differs by 4 cm for the horizontal measurement, and 0.5 cm for the vertical measurement. This is why you will see me subtract 8 cm or 1 cm ...

Basic Toile: Men Casual Jacket

This is almost a complete garment, only missing the pockets and linings.

Download the ready-to-sew patterns here, though the pdf is for projector not for print. Use zipper shorter than 70 cm and 4 cm x 28 cm elastic for cuffs. Seam allowance is 1 cm except 1.6 cm (5...

Basic toile: Ruched Halter Dress

Probably need more fullness to the shoulder and flare out the hem more to match the reference garment.

This toile is actually very easy to sew because there is no sleeve.

Basic toile: Men Cotton Shorts

As a beginner, I have a l lot of trouble sewing the waistband casing. In the end, I have to increase the waistband seam allowance so that I have more space to work with.

In this pattern, the waistband pattern is separate from pants pattern. It should be easier if I make them one-piece.

I use the 3 cm depth elastic band for the waistband.

Although the sewing is crappy, it fit w...

IRL updates: New machines!

My new machines to replace the broken sewing machine just arrived. The sewing machine is Juki HZL-180SZ (about 130$). The overlocker is Brother 2104D (about 340$).

Men Cotton Shorts

No reference to specific brand but I did look at some Uniqlo shorts.

Instruction from Aldrich men pyjama trousers. I actually forget that Aldrich men block has 1 cm built-in seam allowance and only remember when someone mentioned in YouTube comment. But, It does not matter much for this garment because I want it to be a b...

Basic Toile: Gathered Sleeve Bomber Jacket

I just sew everything willy nilly. A lot of mistakes and many things I like to do differently. However, I don't want to spend more than a day making the toile.

IRL update:

I feel very sad to today because my sewing machine just broke. Some functionality like reverse sewing is already broken long before, so I disassemble it to do some deep cleaning because I read online that it may f...

I record most of the process except importing trim, topstitches, puckering and changing fabric.

Basic toile: Low Waist One-piece

I have gotten a bit faster at sewing, but not any better.

I should bast the sleeve cap first, so that the sleeve-case-ease is distributed smoothly.

With this I confirmed that this pattern is fitting in real world.

But this is not exactly the same pattern in Clo because Clo avatar has 80 cm bust white this manikin has 88 cm bust. However, I use the same pattern file but change ...

Low Waist One-piece

Design and instruction entirely from Injoo book.

Instruction from Injoo "Low waist one-piece" (p455). Bodice sloper (p24). Sleeve sloper (p35) Blouse found...

Men Jumpsuit Toile

I sewed the sleeve wrongly. The sleeve placket should be at the back.

Definitely need more ease at the crotch and hip.
