I love this channel and I'm so glad you touched on this subject today. I often feel like a bit of a creep being usually the only man commenting on most sewing videos. But I f*ing LOVE sewing. To me, it's a bold, powerful and possibly very masculine act of total self-creation. I've learned that slimming my dress shirts to fit the taper of my torso makes a huge difference. So far I've only done this by adding darts to existing shirts but you have inspired me to make a dress shirt from scratch with the right fit everywhere. That could be pretty phenomenal. I have a Kangol hat a bit like the dapper cap and I usually get compliments. I'd never really thought about making a hoodie but I really should 'cause I've got a long-ass neck and so I've never had a hood that actually fits over my head. But my real love is short shorts. I'm not afraid to say it. They make me feel sexy af. I will never forget the day I went to Joann's and bought my first new sewing machine, hemmed a new pair of men's jeans to the desired length, spray tanned myself with some solution from Amazon and my HVLP spray gun, and walked out my front door. It was the day I became myself.
I'm a 21 year old guy and I just started sewing, I was hoping for a video like this from you! Ps. On freesewing you can also automatically use standard sizes!
I've just downloaded the Elbe t-shirt for a very picky husband which means I can give him the length of t shirt and sleeves he wants. Lots of great ideas for men - well done
Thanks for some great new ideas. I’ll definitely be looking at the flat cap and hoodie for my husband. His favourite pattern that I make for him is the free Sunday V-neck t-shirt from Friday Pattern Company. He prefers a v-neck over a crew neck, so it’s perfect for him. It comes in a large size range and I think the pattern was intended to be for all genders. Size down one for a less over-sized fit.
Thanks so much for sharing these FREE patterns. They're very hard to get the free ones. I did watch Alisha's video then to yours. Highly appreciated ladies. Much love. I have mostly boys in my family.
Really great pattern choices! I have 4 sons and 3 daughters, from 35 years old down to 7 years old. I think there is something in this list for each of them. Thanks for giving us great content. Keep up the good work. I am really enjoying your videos.
Excellent as usual. Like you, I’m excited about the Flat Cap! I also like the Elbe T-Shirt and the necktie. I’m downloading these right now before they go away!
Thank You again, I love free patterns and did need some for my husband. He likes that I can sew for him. But he hates multiple try on’s since I have to copy his clothes to make a pattern. I’m sure this will help.
Thanks for this wonderful resource! I want to try sewing the flat cap just as a fun learning project. My exhusband wore them and I also thought they were dapper.
I got a lovely red oak leaf printed fabric that would probably make a lovely tie. My husband doesn’t wear red much when he’s dressed up though which is a bummer.
I am meditating on which to do, but our family is four sons and the dad. My sons are all grown so something mature. I might try the tie or the flat cap.
I love the patterns you found. I have kids and grandkids that would love to live in a Tee shirt, hoodie, and PJ pants so this is great for Free! I think making ties for men would be awesome since they are so expensive. You could use really nice fabric and save a lot of money but we're a more like hoodie family. That's nice to help promote your friends video.
I'm wanting to sew for my husband. I've been looking for a video on how to choose the size of the pattern and how to measure him correctly. Do you know of any
I looked at the hoodie pattern but gave up - I'd have to lie and say the hips are bigger than the waist to get the pattern. in reality the waist is bigger than the hips (guy I was going to make it for has a 60 inch waist and 52 inch hips and a 50 inch chest) do not see the point is getting a pattern I then need to learn to redraft to fit, even if it's 'free'.
All patterns need redrafting to some extent. They are a starting point, a generic template. Some need more some need less depending on our body types. For someone with a bigger waist than hips I’d recommend drafting your own patterns.

Welcome to the adventure of sewing. Best thing is that's like a gardening you will always be learning something NEW.
I am 73 yrs old and began sewing in July 2020 ( due to 'lockdown'). I am so pleased to have found this vieo. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
So pleased to help!
A tie custom made to match his personality. A winner!
Thank you for the video! I’m a beginner sewer and was looking for patterns to get started.
Thank you for sharing. I've been searching for men patterns.
Happy to help!
You are so sweet for posting free patterns!
I love these free pattern videos! Thanks for doing all the research for us.
That top you are wearing is absolutely awesome on you
Thank you, it’s my rent raglan hack. I have a video about that.
Thanks for the list/ideas for a male seamster looking for some projects!

Great call on another free pattern!
Thanks so much for sharing these FREE patterns. They're very hard to get the free ones. I did watch Alisha's video then to yours. Highly appreciated ladies. Much love. I have mostly boys in my family.
I put together the 5 out of 4 pj pants for my husband. He has never worn elastic waist pants before, but he likes his new pjs. Easy, good pattern.
Great feedback thanks Marsha
I made the PJ bottoms from 5 out of 4 patterns for everyone in our family. Its a fab pattern. Love your videos too, thank you.
My husband loves dress shirts and I’ve wanted to make him one. Maybe I’ll do that for Valentine’s Day! Thank you for the wonderful pattern ideas
Yay!
Thanks so much Clare for this video. My husband has been on me for one of these caps since forever. Much appreciated 🥰
Really great pattern choices! I have 4 sons and 3 daughters, from 35 years old down to 7 years old. I think there is something in this list for each of them. Thanks for giving us great content. Keep up the good work. I am really enjoying your videos.
Not a guy but I love that you did this! Great for making for the men in my life 🙂
Thank you for men thinks clothing. ♥️♥️♥️
I love your accent I could listen to you talk all day long you should do voice acting
What a sweet thought and a great idea for a video!
I can’t take credit for the idea, that was alisas doing but I agree it’s a great idea!
Excellent as usual. Like you, I’m excited about the Flat Cap! I also like the Elbe T-Shirt and the necktie. I’m downloading these right now before they go away!
I could sure go for the hoodie pattern for my 6ft. tall son! Thanks!🥰🇨🇦
I’ll surly try the cap pattern🧢 greatly appreciate it. Yes I love Alisa channel ❤️🧵✂️
Love the dapper cap! :)

I love that Elbe pattern! Thanks!
Thank You again, I love free patterns and did need some for my husband. He likes that I can sew for him. But he hates multiple try on’s since I have to copy his clothes to make a pattern. I’m sure this will help.

This is brilliant. Love the pj bottoms and T-shirt. Just what I was looking for! 😊
Thank you!
Love your videos. Very helpful.
Love the list of free patterns thanks so much 😊
I really love the hat. 👌🏼
I am meditating on which to do, but our family is four sons and the dad. My sons are all grown so something mature. I might try the tie or the flat cap.
This is Awesome! Thank you!
I was very interested in the pj bottoms. Sadly, the pattern doesn't seem to work anymore. Still thank you, this video is a great resource.
Did they delete it?
Would love a compilation of plus size men's patterns, not necessarily for free, it's just hard to find good plus size patterns for men.
I will be doing a video on men’s patterns soon so look out for that!

I’m going to check out the site you need to input measurements to get a fitted pattern for free.
There’s two freesewing.org and lekala.com
I'm wanting to sew for my husband. I've been looking for a video on how to choose the size of the pattern and how to measure him correctly. Do you know of any
Have you seen my video on how to measure yourself and choose a size?
Can you send me a link
@robertacann6470 I can’t sorry, scroll back through my videos, you’ll find it.
Thank you so much. I really want to sew for my Boyfriend
The necktie is $5.00, even though I've signed up for the newsletter. Have I missed something?
It says in the description of the product it’s free with the newsletter so you’ll need to contact them direct if you haven’t been sent a code.
I looked at the hoodie pattern but gave up - I'd have to lie and say the hips are bigger than the waist to get the pattern. in reality the waist is bigger than the hips (guy I was going to make it for has a 60 inch waist and 52 inch hips and a 50 inch chest) do not see the point is getting a pattern I then need to learn to redraft to fit, even if it's 'free'.
All patterns need redrafting to some extent. They are a starting point, a generic template. Some need more some need less depending on our body types. For someone with a bigger waist than hips I’d recommend drafting your own patterns.
Thank you!
