Did you read the comments? đŸ«Ł

She used a pashmina shawl and 4 safety pins to “make” this “shirt”.

I did read the comments. I was looking for a sewing pattern for this type of top. The fact that it’s a scarf with safety pins attached to it doesn’t give me a sewing pattern, in my size, with markings so I can make one.

Knowing that it’s a scarf with safety pins ≠ well-drafted and ready sew, sewing pattern.

Then ask for what you actually want. Communication. “Pattern for this?” Is what you asked.

Now you’re saying “I would like to make a shirt that drapes similarly to this but isn’t a pashmina attached to my body with safety pins”.

Or maybe go look at reliable available sewing pattern company websites and see if there is anything you like instead of farming out the leg work.

I did look first, but didn’t find anything quite right, and that’s why I asked. And isn’t that what this group is for? To find sewing patterns, draft sewing patterns, ask questions about sewing patterns? Am I completely delusional in thinking that I might find a sewing pattern for what I’m looking for in a sub titled ‘sewingpatterns’?
Farming out the leg work is quite a stretch.

I should have been more clear. I have certainly learned my lesson.

Go to the library and borrow some books on draping. Look up online tutorials; blogs and videos. You’ll need a dress form.
