How to Make your Own Sewing Pattern Templates

[@lynnstratton2890]

What a terrific idea! I love the pocket for storing the smaller pieces! Great tips, as always!

[@mollypate6633]

Hello, Laura! This is a good idea. I love to watch your videos and I have learned a lot from you. I would like to see you actually do a tutorial with you sewing a pair of pants like these from start to finish. With all your tricks you were just showing us. I'm a seasoned beginner and that would help me so much. Please consider making a few of those kind of videos that are actual sewing tutorials. I know most of your viewers are probably great sewing experts but I'm probably not the only beginner in the bunch. Have a great day!

[@SewVeryEasy]

I will see what I can do:)

[@featherweight48]

Pants are tricky to fit sometimes so this is a great way to know where you need to alter another pattern instead of starting over with each new pattern. Thank you for this wonderful idea!

[@myadvantures0426]

Love your idea of making a pocket to store all the small patterns. I’m going to use this method so I don’t lose them. Thank you for that tip

[@foxychic208]

Thank you for yet another wonderful idea. I learnt from my Mother who was a dressmaker sadly she died over 40 years ago if only she was still alive to see your wonderful videos and all the great things available. So thank you from both of us .

[@ebbiescrafts1]

I really love all you have done, For 12 years I have not been able to get back into my favorite sewing projects, My parents and sister died of different months of three kinds of cancer, It hurt so much, I have been trying to get back into sewing it is hard so what I am going to do is, bulldoze the house down and build another one, I hope this will help me, the house was left to me, and you can say it haunts me with the suffering they went through, thank you for having your style of work . God bless you always Edwinice Meyer

One day I will understand all this. I so want to learn about sewing clothes.

[@ThatReallyWeirdArtist]

Thank you for posting. My mamaw passed away only having taught me how to sew by hand. My husband just got me a new sewing machine, that i have next to no clue how to use. Lol Needless to say i subscribed to your channel. 💜

[@SewVeryEasy]

[@soundninja99]

[@theresashannon5870]

Guess I’m to mean to keep a nice husband around take care theresa

[@eileenfb1948]

This Pelon product looks absolutely perfect - tissue tears too easily. Thank you Laura, I can check to see if we have it in the U K yet.

[@sarahodonnell6957]

Genius that is brilliant and the pocket wow. Thank You so much for sharing x❤️🙏

[@ANotiontoSew]

Clever idea. I trace all my patterns so I don't have to cut up the original, but this takes it a step further and would really streamline the fitting process. Thanks.

[@seestellysew8472]

This was an amazing video. I'm extremely hard to fit. There's almost a 24" difference between my waist and my hips, so I always have trouble fitting any pattern. But if I can create a template that works for me then I won't have to struggle every time I want a new design, that is also a flattering fit for my shape. Thank you very much. I'd love to see how you would do this for necklines.

[@dijones2441]

I agree with Estelle... I find neck lines plunge to low for me and I've tried to adapt the pattern but it never seems to sit nicely

[@aubgriss2009]

The pocket on the pattern is a great idea!! I will do that when I make my own pattern next time.

[@charliemashburn9073]

Wow! This was really informative. I've bookmarked it and I'll be back to refresh my memory often. Thanks

[@SewVeryEasy]

Thank you and thanks for joining me today :)

[@spiritandtruth7399]

Thank you for sharing this!! Commercial patterns are sometimes clunky and ill fitting. This is the answer!

[@Mar-vg4us]

Absolute genius! I love your ideas here...how did I never think of this!!! Thank you Laura x

[@mirrorslava2515]

very good tips, especially the pocket! all will be in one place and very tidy! thank you

[@judyl3492]

This is a great idea. My patterns are getting worn and I have just gone and bought a new one. Now I won't have to. thanks

[@bnyzhny]

genius, Genius, GENIUS!!! Luuove how you think! It must be Such Fun living inside your head :)

[@dandyd14441]

You such an amazing creative lady!

[@Deebaby17]

Absolutely amazing

[@cynthiahenzler5170]

Just brilliant thank you❤

[@sewmuchfashion831]

Great advice!

[@deboraanstensen6164]

Brilliant! Why would you want to purchase new patterns if you have a decent "block/template"?

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much 😊 that's a very useful idea 💡

[@debraswofford3156]

Would you consider demonstrating how to make pants with the fly opening? I wanted to make boxer shorts and the vogue pattern I was using was confusing, having not done it before. It was a failed effort. I've not been able to find a good tutorial online. Thanks for sharing your sewing and quilting know how! You are organized and a good teacher.

[@SewVeryEasy]

I will put it on my list, thanks for asking

[@lauralarios423]

Thank you Laura, very good idea.

[@maryalgar8779]

Hi Laura. Wow - you are so knowledgeable about all-things-sewing. Would you also use this Pellon product if you buy a pattern and want to preserve the various sizes (i.e. a child's pattern that comes in 3 sizes). I will be making the smallest size, but want to keep the pattern for future use in larger size.

[@rondabergeron4414]

great as always. Thank you so much.

[@UtahGmaw99]

This is awesome! Could you do a video on how you store these? Thanks so much!

[@SewVeryEasy]

I keep them on hangers :)

[@UtahGmaw99]

Great idea! Now why didn't I think of that? lol Thank you

[@lindabrown7374]

Love the idea! Thank you.

[@jessica_ashlee]

What I don't understand is why one would bother with another pattern if it's just going to be adjusted to the one that fits best?

[@dianadivadiamond]

Thanks for sharing that.idea. Can I use the thinnest Pelon because I'm not sure if I'll be able to source what you showed us in your video. Thanks again.

[@paulasydney]

I'm confused. Won't your new pattern just turn out like your template if you're adjusting your new pattern to match your template? Why would you buy a new pattern just to copy your template onto your new pattern?

[@SewVeryEasy]

No, you will just need to use it for a guide, for eg if the waist is very high fit you still have your waist mark, if you have a pttern that has a seam down the leg you can still adjust the crotch etc:) hope that helps

[@paulasydney]

I still don't get it, maybe i need to watch the video again. Thanks for trying to help :)

[@kerigiddens4557]

As a lady with a short waist and no hips, I am going to give this template thing a try. If you are easy to fit with commercial patterns, you may find no value in it but I have to alter every pattern I sew myself. It would be handy to have a template letting me know that on my pattern I need to shorten the waist by 3 inches, lower the pocket opening and shorten the length, etc. This still allows the pattern to have "design elements" like pleating or darts or a seam running down the front of the leg or different pocket treatments but still knowing the basic size and shape of the pattern is something that will fit. In the case that you just need a quick pair of pants then, yes, you could use the template as the pattern. Thank you Laura!

[@Angela10226]

Good information, Laura would you mind sharing where you got your ceramic form that was behind you, I absolutely love that kind of thing for my sewing room.

[@SewVeryEasy]

second hand shop!

[@Angela10226]

Love it, thanks for sharing.

[@TheMinot60]

This is pretty excellent! Thank you!

[@janesmith2765]

Thank you so much Laura for this video. Would you please let us know how to transfer the markings on the new template.

[@SewVeryEasy]

If you mean to go from the pattern to the fabric, just do it the same as you would the paper pattern:)

[@carolinehonse35]

Excellent idea!

[@dijones2441]

Fabulous tips 👍

[@msmith1821]

glad you are doing this video

[@connormcbride6162]

Do you have videos on how to measure and make your own pattern

[@charann102]

Tais is such helpful information. Thank you.

[@ppuyle1]

Great idea!! Love the little pocket!! Do you have any videos regarding very thin slippery or sheer fabric. I want to do one of the kimonos that are so popular....but I'm afraid my machine is going to hate the fabric!

[@SewVeryEasy]

you can always put tissue paper on both sides of your fabric as you sew and take it off after

[@Alcarie]

"how to make your own sewing pattern templates" step one: have template. Thanks...

[@marietteforget7804]

Thanks a million! 😎🌸

[@aheartofworship27]

Lovely lady, would you recommend that template paper for hand bags?

[@dianneross2801]

Clever 👍thank you 😊

[@aheartofworship27]

Hello Laura, I'm new to sewing & pattern making. I'm struggling a bit now because there aren't enough tutorials for beginners. Would you consider making a step by step how to draft a pattern & sewing of a tote bag for beginners. Thanks.

[@debbiewhite3270]

Sew sweetness does tutorials for bags. Crafty Gemini also. I have been watching Laura for years. I love her videos. So smart.

[@sherylballard8702]

[@Joy4650B]

I am SEW THRILLED to find out you make garments also. Did you make the pretty blue blouse you are wearing?

[@SewVeryEasy]

No but I really love it:) thanks

[@jennielynnschlageter6586]

Amazing!

[@poetmaggie1]

Why buy more pants patterns when you have a fitting pattern already?

[@gremillion7]

Hi Laura, my name is Roberta and I need some help with a dress I'm making for myself and I'm have problems with the collar do you have any tip for collars? Thanks

[@SewVeryEasy]

You are so clever. Great idea with the pattern template:)
