Men’s Sewing Patterns Buying Guide

Sometimes the store bought clothes just don’t fit right or they don’t come in the color or size that you need. The solution? Sew your own! Sewing your own clothing doesn’t have to be intimidating. If you’ve never tried it before, never fear! Aside from some great online advice to help you when you get stuck, most patterns have directions both on how much fabric to purchase and how to actually sew the item, which are quite user friendly.

Different Variations

The great thing about many of the menswear patterns is that they come with variations on an item. For example, you can often make two, four, or even six or eight shirts from the same pattern. Some patterns come with pattern and instructions for tops and bottoms. Some are unisex and others have items that the whole family can enjoy. If you’re uncertain about taking on a project with a pattern, patterns are actually super helpful and often have a difficulty rating right on the package, so you can buy it and sew with confidence that the pattern will match your skill level.

Customizable

One of the reasons that many people choose to sew their own clothing is that not only can they pick a pattern for what they need, in the size they need, but they can buy their own fabric. Yes, this really is half the fun! Customizing an item for yourself in the perfect size definitely beats slogging from store to store, trying to find something that you like and that fits well. Most patterns are highly customizable. Experiment with different fabric types, different colors and prints, and even different embellishments like buttons.
