Mood directions are pretty difficult for beginners, so if you're going to use them, see if you can find a sew-along for either the pattern or the specific technique/piece you're trying to sew. Tiana's Closet is a FABULOUS resource of advice and free sewing patterns from a professional pattern drafter. She's relatively size-inclusive too (though not as inclusive as Mood).
Good point about Mood for sure👏🏻 Also thanks for the tip on Tianas closet, going to have to check that out💕
I agree.. They tend to be sparse. . And the same goes for many of these free patterns. There's nothing more discouraging than directions with no details.
As a follow up to the comment about mixing and matching sleeves, it's really important to keep the original sleeve cap from the original pattern to get a good shoulder fit. You could expand this for a puff sleeve, etc., but I would recommend keeping that sleeve cap from the original and merging it with any new sleeve type to make for the best fit.
@@charitydusikova7693 Great Point!
The milkmaid dress pattern is missing a lot of steps... like everything after sewing the skirt together, but it's a gorgeous pattern
Thank you the most useful part of this video is the names of the sources of free patterns ,because there are many more when you visit them. I declared 2024 a year of sewing.
Glad it was helpful!
"I declared 2024 a year of sewing" I'm right there with you! May we both succeed in growing our skills and possibly our wardrobes.
Wow you just popped up on my UA-cam feed today. So much information and excellent content for anyone participating in the Sew Frugal 2024 Challenge. Good job🎉
Thanks for watching!! I always forget about that challenge, your inspiring me to maybe take part💕
Love the encouragement to try out more complicated patterns even as a beginner, this is how I was able to actually find the motivation to keep learning! It was so much more rewarding to figure out all of the details of a pattern that I would actually love and wear vs making something “simple” that I didn’t love as much
Yes!! I’m such a huge proponent of learning as you go even if it means making mistakes along the way! That’s how I learned how to sew and I believe everyone is capable of growing their skills with a challenge💕
This was my first time here. I found it informative. I really liked the noor wrap dress. I think it would be flattering on a lot of body types.
Well welcome! Hope to see you around again💕 glad you enjoyed this video
Oh girl you're missing one of my favorite sites for free patterns -and I think it would become one of your favorites too. Tiana's Closet. Please take a look there are TONS of free cute patterns. Each one has great instructions and the PDF files are set up so you can print just your size. You would like it, I hope you take a look.
Someone else mentioned that one and I’m surprised it never came up when I was searching! For sure going to have to check it out💕
I would sew a muslin for any new pattern that is completely different from anything I have ever made before or the outfit is for an event that is important for me or whoever I am making it for. There is one other instance where I would make a muslin and that is if the pattern is from a company that is new to me. It is far less expensive to make a muslin along where you make all the adjustments required than to do those changes to your good fabric.
I’m always lazy and skip the muslin part but need to be better about it! I wholeheartedly agree though that with new unfamiliar patterns a mock-up is a good starting point
I do the same. I use old sheets for mock ups as I have lots of fabric for adjustments and lots of mock ups (sometimes it just takes 3 lol) I would recommended new sewists use sheets then they don't have to panic about running out of fabric when making mock ups.
I made the Wide Leg Pants by Peppermint Magazine in a few days as my first ever sewing project once I learned how to use the machine, I found the instructions very clear and thorough to make very nice finishing touches and I made another pair for my sister later. I still use the pattern and instructions for the pockets for most other pants I made since because I love them so much! 10/10 recommend 🥰
I love this👏🏻 So glad to hear they have great instructions and you liked the pattern!
Grasser and Viki Sews are Russian. The En is just signifying that you are reading the website in English but the name is Grasser.
Probably should have looked more into those, but glad to know now that they are Russian! Need to try some out and see how they compare to English patterns
@MaddieLynn They are fantastic, but they sell single sizes for pdf.
Good To Know!@@Michelle.56
@@Michelle.56 they are great I'm working in the ingred from vikisews ATM. The instructions are fantastic super detailed with lots of pictures. Just gotta makes sure it's the English site as I've accidentally downloaded a russian pattern and it was super confusing as the instructions were in russian lol but the pictures helped.
I like that last one (the Playsuit). That could make a very nice jumper dress when the pattern is changed a little.
Exactly! So many fun ideas
Thank you for the sleeve tip! As a wheelchair user, long sleeves often get in the way.
One thing about long sleeves is you can always adjust the length to fit your preferences and needs 💕
Sometimes I find it is cheaper and easier to buy big 4 patterns on sale for $1.99 than to use a free pdf that needs to be printed p, taped, and cut out.
Oh yes!! I stock up on the big 4 when there are sales!!
We don't have sales at such low prices in the UK so print at home is much cheaper for us
Peppermint is an Australian sustainability, recycle, makers & indie magazine, similar to one called Frankie (you might find some patterns on there also).
A brilliant list, returning to sewing after a long sabbatical so I am all about floaty cotton print dresses RN but I also have a decent collection of Vintage Vogue 50's style. Last week a store had a '4 patterns for $20AUD sale' so 12 patterns fell into my basket, probably two way past my capability yet but you gotta strike when the iron is hot -- I saved $170 on buying the second batch of 8 & made sure there were a couple of exy vogue patterns in there, alongside the basics that will get my wardrobe looking happier.
Thank you for such a brilliant list!
Oh awesome, thanks for the tip about Frankie! Pattern sales are definitely a weakness of mine, so glad to hear you are gettin back into sewing!
thank you for this! I really like the Mood patterns designs, and appreciate that they are free! I wish they would consider adding a layers function to their patterns, though. I find it difficult to keep track of my size/s when there are multiple lines
I agree, PDF pattern lines can be overwhelming
That Paola jacket is great! I like some of the simple dresses and the silk skirt, too. Thanks for mentioning the sleeves. Yeah like that Peppermint playsuit. :) Amazing range of good quality patterns.
👏🏻💕
Thanks a lot for your lovely choices. I'm so excited to sew the Maisel dress. The Milana dress is also amazing. 😍
👏🏻💕
Thank you so much for this very helpful round up of free patterns. There are definitely a few I would like to try. I had no idea about Mood, and I thought their patterns looked great!
Enjoy! Thanks for watching
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good patterns. Thanks for sharing
Wow what a brilliant set of free patterns, thank you! I'll have to purchase a printer now 😂
A printer purchase is worth it for what you save with these free patterns! You can also send them to Office Depot, etc. and choose the cheapest paper as well
I appreciate your hard work in finding these. Adair cargo pants and Noor wrap dress were favorites. Muchas gracias/Thank you.
👏🏻💕
This was wonderful! Thanks! I'm especially excited about the sleeves pack.
The sleeve pack is brilliant!! Thanks for watching 💕
Thank you. Sometimes narrow hems and bias strip finished edges can be tricky to do well. I liked the pants patterns best they looked the most doable.
I’m short with a big bust. There’s not I single dress in the collection I either wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing, or would make me feel like I’m wearing a circus tent. But there are several others in other sections that I really like. So, thanks!
Glad you found some that can work!
I am also short and busty and think the Tamarind dress could work with straps, what do you think?
Thank you so much for such a helpful video. One of the shirred blouses could be made easier for beginners by swapping to encased thick elastic instead
You are so welcome! Yes, that is a great idea for a beginner project!
I was really hoping for some mens pattern, but great to know about mood and bet I can find some men’s pattern there
My audience is primarily female so I didn’t include any men’s patterns, but maybe I should do a video about that in the future.
@@MaddieLynn that would be great! I looked at Mood; and they have a very limited number of men’s pattern- I’m new to this: so maybe a video how to make a customized pattern? The shirts I buy never all fit in the same place I have to pick neck, shoulders or abdomen for a good fit. One reason I wanted to try seeing to see if I could make something specific for my body
I'm very excited about the Noor Wrap Dress! I think I could make lots of them & get some fun shoes! Thank you so much - S
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
So many great patterns, how am I going to have time to do them all... ;)
That’s my same dilemma!!
Hello, wonderful video. Love it.❤❤ have a nice day
Thank you! You too!
Mood Sewciety patterns need critical thinking to successfully complete. I am an experienced sewist and have made many garments from them.
I like the variety of styles you’ve chosen.
I agree
Wow, thanks!!!
You bet!
This is a great video… 😊
Thank you! 😃
Thank you some great looks x
You’re welcome 😊
The Mood lounge set looks like a 1960s James Bond girl outfit.
Oohhh…YES!! I think that’s one of the patterns I’m most excited for👏🏻
Oohhh…YES!! I think that’s one of the patterns I’m most excited for👏🏻
Thank you for this fantastic and informative video - I’m off to click on many of those links! PS: Viki Sews and Grasser are both Russian. 😉
You are so welcome! Yes, I learned that about viki sews and grasser after this video :)
Just wanted to come to the comments after you said you’re from wisco! I’m a beginner at sewing and I’m also from wisco! Milwaukee area - small world 🥰
Ahhh! It’s been so fun connecting with fellow Wisconsinites since I moved from Texas in August ‘22!
I’m in Milwaukee to! I’m an intermediate sewist myself we need a club!
@@Carlielynn11 that would be so much fun 🥹
I live a bit north of Milwaukee. Nice to see the other people saying hello, too.
4:20 don't hold out on us because you think it doesn't match the season! A. Different parts of the world experience summer and winter at opposite times and B. Some of us need vacation inspo as well! 😋
Good point!
I've just found ur channel and I'm a new self taught sewer I only start aug with quilts n bags and did my first clothing item Jan (a corset) so decided to jump in the deep end and do my daughters prom dress a perfect example as u can do anything if u try hard intend to start with the harder stuff as I find the easy stuff comes along the way as they say nothing ventured nothing gained
I love this!! This is totally my philosophy with sewing and I love that you’re just fully embracing it💕 I’m sure her dress will be beautiful and wish you all the luck and fun!
Thank you. Great ideas!
Thanks for watching!
What a bonanza of sew inspiration! I've been working through a pattern with princess seams, and it has been difficult getting the sizing correct as there are more pieces to consider when fitting. I just subscribed so, looking forward to seeing some of your projects! Also, do you do pattern reviews? Work from the Lutterloh system?
Welcome!! So glad you are here👏🏻 princess seams definitely require some personal adaptations for fit! Don’t usually do pattern reviews because I make a majority of my patterns. Haven’t tried the Lutterloh system yet, but do have it
Great selection
Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you! (has anyone ever told you that you look very much like old TV star Linda Evans?)
Thanks for watching! No, I’ve never got that one for a look alike
Nice video unfortunately most free patterns online mostly those strapless and open backed ones are just not usable for people with large chests. Wr just need our bra to survive so having backless dresses is just impossible
Very true…that’s why learning how to adapt patterns is a great skill because you can customize patterns to your perfect fit
I'm large busted and I've found lots of free patterns that are not open back. It takes a little work. But watching lots of UA-cam vids help to find them. It's also pretty easy to add straps to a strapless dress again UA-cam is a great resource to find ways to do it. I've added straps to strapless ready to wear dresses.
Could you maybe include pictures of the finished garments not just the mood illustrations for example? It's hard to imagine them on the body and it would be nice to see the fit :)
If you visit the links in the description of the video you can see some finished garments in pictures :)
Ok. Hear me out tho: 23:56 the Veronica top as a mini dress 😍😍😍😍
And style it with a pair of boots! So cute
The long tent dress was my favorite it I don’t find your links to the patterns or pattern companies.😢
Hi!! The link for all the patterns is in the description of the video…if you are on a no phone look for the “…more” option to expand the description, otherwise it’s easier to see and click on a browser
Mood directions ar NOT beginner friendly though. I'm still working up the courage to try the Tamarind dress.
That’s very true, I think if you are willing to Google unfamiliar steps though you can find a resource of videos and help to learn as you go. I’m going to be releasing a tamarind dress tutorial later this spring
I always try to find one for their patterns. I've made a ton. But I can't always find one. Luckily I've progressed enough that it's not an issue anymore. I LOVE the Mal dress. SO easy for a beginner. I'm looking forward to your Tamarind tutorial!! @@MaddieLynn
I use mood fabrics patterns but I convert them into projector pattens via pdfstitcher program so I don’t have to print it out
Thats brilliant! I hope to get a projector one day to do that because printing and taping patterns is so time consuming!
I seen this pattern Wide Leg Culottes on your 35 free pattern, how can I get this pattern for free? Kindly let me know, thank you
There’s a link in the description of this video that takes you to a blog post where all the free patterns are linked
thank you
Hope you find some you LOVE!
Thanks for the list of sites. I'm large busted, so your choices aren't really to my taste. And no thank you to ruffles or puff sleeves for adults, but you do you. Glad for the variety of patterns available to suit all our tastes.
Thanks for watching, all those sights have even more patterns than just the ones I shared so there might be a style that interests you more :)
Wisconsin here too 👋🏻
Yay!
Thanks for all these recommendations!
I've used patterns from Mood and The-Thread. From The-Thread I've printed two dresses patterns and one pants pattern that I've used and modified to change the style and make a couple of dresses and pants. Actually, during my Christmas break I made 2 pairs of pants with the pattern from The-Thread. They also have very clear and detailed instructions and a glossary of sewing techniques that have helped me tons when doing other projects.
Mood has a lot of good patterns also on a wide category of clothing, but sometimes their instructions aren't clear or complete.
I agree, mood instructions aren’t the best, and I’m glad to know you’ve had good experiences with The Thread patterns…their instructions looked detailed!
Thanks
I wanna make the milkmaid dress
Right!! It’s such a pretty pattern and I’ve always loved that style of dress!
Wrap dress!!!!
@18.04 you talk about English v French patterns and say that Mood are English patterns. Are these not American as they are in inches and English patterns are in cm?
What I meant was the language is in English, as some French patterns have to be translated (especially some free ones). However you are right, American patterns come in inches and “English” or French are done in Cm
Wisconsin? Im in wisconsin too!
Yay!!
SW Wisconsin for me
I’d have liked to see at least one item from this list that you actually made.
I have a tutorial coming in a month or so for one of the mood dresses, so stay tuned💕
Great Video! The Paola Pattern is the only one I've tried and I loved it

Merci ! La blouse Cardinal est superbe et je la tenterais bien 👍❤
💕💕
Please please do a video on the mood Perth dress. I am confident beginner sewer but the instructions are so confusing!
Yeah, the Mood patterns unfortunately don't have the best instructions for beginner or confident beginners. I am hoping to make that dress in the summer so stay tuned :)
Hi I need to know how to widen the skirt of shorts thank you
Try searching a how to video about that on UA-cam! Chances are someone has made something a similar 💕

Tent dress pattern
So cute right!
the link in your blog does not lead to the veronica mood blouse pattern..
Hmmm…weird! I’ll check that
En Grasser (aun grass aye): to fatten up (in this case, I believe meaning pregnancy)
do you have a trick or hack for downloading the pages? Coz 66 pages for a pattern is a lot and wont fit in my sitting room LOL
I always just print them all and then assemble them on the floor! It’s definitely a lot of pages but I love the accessibility of digital patterns…I know some people project the patterns onto fabric if there’s a projector option
I am having flashbacks to the 1970's looking at these patterns.
What goes around comes around and the great styles from the past are back!
Question, re : the maya dress. Uh does she have a youtube channel? Is she Bianca, The Closet Historian???????
I’m not sure? I haven’t made all of these or looked into it
Do you mean English or American?
Sorry…I mean American
I like Wide Leg culottes and Wide Leg Pants. Thank you
They are so cute!
Thanks for all these introductions. I am a plus size, and I would clearly want to know the sizes available 😅
And you should rest a little. Not speak so fast.
A majority of these come in very inclusive size ranges
Quick tip; if you are having problems keeping up with a video, you can adjust the playback speed in the UA-cam settings. I found this video slow paced for what it was so set it to play faster but will slow down tutorials or how to videos.
Thank you for great info. Very chatty to much personal comments are not necessary. MOOD is not for beginner's.
Thanks for watching! I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea nor are my videos and that’s okay. Some mood pattern are beginner friendly especially if you are learning as you go, but some are not
Sure... anyone could sew if they don't mind wasting fabric... but it's a lot easier to start with easier projects, and cheaper. It's also much better to start with an instructor.
Everyone has their own way of sewing! Some like to dive right in and learn as they sew and for some smaller projects are a great place to start…I also highly recommend using thrifted sheets as fabric because it’s so much more budget friendly for sewing💕
When I learned in high school, I didn’t know you were supposed to use a difficulty level that matched your skills. I just picked whatever I liked, and sewed. Before going to college I bought a bunch of 100% wool plaid in two patterns and colors. I made a lined blazer, skirt with 26 pattern pieces for all the boxed pleats, lined slacks, lined jumper, a couple hats, and a lined cape. I also made a puffer style coat. I did this while my mom was in the hospital and couldn’t help at all. If I’d only chosen patterns that matched my level I would have ended up with a couple hats.
The dress patterns are ridiculous and not feminine. They look so sloppy. The blouses and slacks outfits are very nice.
Everyone has their own perspective of what they like and that’s the beauty of sewing is you don’t have to make anything you don’t feel inspired by💕
Its seamstress for women and seamster for men. Stop changing the names to fit woke.
Thank you ! I can’t and won’t use the made up word “sewist”
Trust me, I’m the last person who would ever change names to be “woke”. I’m sorry you don’t like the work “sewist” the only reason I like using it is because it’s a fun word! Thanks for watching
"Sewist" is contemporary. It's totally acceptable now and has been for about ten years. I like it! "seamstress" implies that I can be hired to sew for you... And that's not me. I sew for the pure enjoyment of it .
Seamstress does not imply only that I would sew for another. It is the female version of a woman sewing. As seamster implies a man sewing. Sewist removes all gender as so many stupid things do now. Adding new terms to it doesn't make it real. There is nothing wrong with the terms, definitions from my childhood.
Not once when I have said I'm a seamstress has anyone said..oh you see for people. Nope..they usually asked where did I learn..which I reply..home ec. Which I probably now have to make that a gender free title..God knows how.
@@kathyhernandez7121 You do realize that all words were "made up" at some point, right? Don't be a rude granny because you can't keep up when a language evolves. JFC
Could you take a breath or pause from time to time in the commentary?
My teacher days translate into my videos😂 gotta be efficient!
You can slow the speed down from your end if that’s helpful. I couldn’t keep up either. @dorothymccarthy4376
Talk, talk, talk. You must be interested in the sound of your own voice.
Thanks for watching, I’m sorry it wasn’t your cup of tea, this video being focused on taking about free sewing patterns…
I fully agree. The voice also comes over far too shrill. Eventually I turned off the sound, and there's too much talk.
I persevered because I was interested to see the patterns, but please can you tone down and slow down. Not meant as a rude jibe, bet a helpful crit. So sorry to hurt your feelings but I'm sure your program will be good, once I get to see it and more enjoyable for others too.😢
Calm down. If you don't like it just move on. It's not necessary to voice your criticism.
I just did a bias cut slip from Moods free patterns and its absolutely perfect I love it.
Ahhh! Love this💕
This is my first time watching your videos. Great job!
Awe, thank you so much!! Thanks for watching and I hope you find others you love💕
jjj

Yes I am!! Moved here from Texas
