Sewing patterns

[sdkidaho]

I have a 10 year old that likes to sew. Do any of you have sewing patterns for tactical gear that you can share/part with?

I have no idea what but I thought this would be the place to ask.

I’m not starting a business. I have no intention of selling what she makes - just supporting a hobby she enjoys and possibly getting some cool gear out of it.

Thanks!

A good tailor can make their own patterns. I suggest you start with pictures and dimensions.

Not really "Tactical" gear but here is a supplier that has a few patterns and you can get materials as well. It's a start...

There are several youtube videos that have easy-to-follow instructions on how to make pouches.

for learning I would just get here simple patterns to workout like pants or hood jacket over at any retail sew/fabric store to learn .
Good she learn and schooled in proper order of completion of panels, different seam allowances, stitch tension, machine working parts ..etc.
Then work her into a little bigger machine with minimum of 135x7 needle, and then make her your personal sweatshop Sew Monkey for nylon gear .

Just making average lightweight nylon gear . She wont be happy trying to sew any Nylons or Cordura, especially like 500 to 1000 den. weight, or even putting webbing over fabrics unless she ( at Least ) has a needle size machine of 135x7 to punch with, and run some 69/E-size thread . That is about the smallest industry standard size needle machine needed .
Any smaller lighter machine and needle can put two pieces of flat fabric together , but the 1st time she try's to sew/ lap a seam or punch threw even lightweight webbing threw a couple pieces fabric . she will Not have the needle depth or even near adequate tensions on both thread and presser-foot unless it 'at least' 135x7 needle machine .
