As a matter of fact, i used the Uma design and adapted it to become a gaff underwear. I still have to contribute this new design to the website, but it works well

C’est un magnifique foutage de gueule quand on sait qu’au même moment, une loi a été votée au sénat pour interdire aux mineur·es trans de transitionner, que Macron a fait une déclaration qualifiant d’« ubuesque » la proposition de loi visant à faciliter la procédure de changement de mention de sexe à l’état civil…

B…but it didn'd even the last supper! Catholic integrists unable to recognize that, it's hilarious and pathetic at the same time

(there’s a free CAD tool for pattern drafting, it’s called Valentina)

you have the choice, when making a circle skirt, between having an elastic waist (in that case, the inner diameter, and the waistband length, would need to be larger, like a little bit larger than your seat, aka the largest diameter around your butt). It would need more fabric, the circles being bigger.

The other solution is the zip one. It would specifically need an invisible zip, because those are made to "finish" a seam line, by allowing to open it (without it, you wouldn’t be able to put the garment on).

And yes, by "seam", i mean the stitch line between two pieces of fabric to attach them together. A plain/straight stitch is the way to go, it’s what you need 90% of the time, 9% of the rest would be some kind of zigzag stitch needed for example in stretch fabrics.

i’d say a pretty common starter project would be a circle skirt. It’s basically a circle (or half circle, for less drape, but who want less spin, right?). Inner diameter matches your waist, and length is what you want. You can cut 2 half-circles (don’t forget seam allowance! And add like 4cm seam allowance at the bottom), and a waistband of 6cm * your waist (+ seam allowance also). You’ll need an invisible zip (and know how to sew it), and you can find instructions basically everywhere, like on Freesewing (you can ignore some things, like everything related to lining, here)

if you know how to sew, one excellent resource is Freesewing. It’s a community, a tool, and a collection of parametric patterns that are produced for your measurements. And free! It’s also an excellent help if you want to learn it

I added another step: time to learn sewing.

Turns out i'm quite good at it, and now i design my own clothes and i sell them :3
