Im learning how to see right now. I’ve just someone some bags and pillows so far, but I really want to make clothing. I’ll start simple, but I’d eventually like to make the things that (imo) are the hardest to get as a trans woman: panties, bras, and pants. Have any of you made these? Do you have any resources or communities you recommend?
Not yet, but I’m learning to sew so that I can make my own clothes! The only things I can find in my style just don’t fit or have terrible colors and patterns. With parametric patterns I can make anything I want tailored specifically for my body shape, and I don’t have to spend money I don’t have on things made in unethical abusive sweatshops.
The best resource I’ve found so far is https://freesewing.org. It’s a community based around a piece of software for creating parametric sewing patterns. There aren’t many patterns there yet, but there’s two patterns for underwear and one of the people involved has a youtube channel with some great tutorials https://invidious.perennialte.ch/channel/UCvknI22P32FxprncDmtpWpw
Yeah! It super stressful for me to go to the store and get women’s patterns and cute fabric tbh, but it was good practice and I’m glad I did it
