Customisable Binder Pattern now up on Ko-Fi!
I wanted to get at least one digital option up on my Ko-Fi fundraiser for top surgery, because international shipping is a nightmare. And I'm really excited to have added a fully customisable binder sewing pattern to the store!
Standard binders often fail those of us who fall outside off-the-rack sizing. Purchasing this pattern will grant you access to an app that calculates and generates a sewing pattern specifically to your measurements, as well as sewing instructions (including some guidance on what fabric to use). You can choose from centimetres or inches, and can download the pattern in A4 or US Letter sizing with guides on where to tape pages together to form a complete pattern.
Please note: while the actual sewing of this pattern is pretty basic, my instructions are also fairly basic; I never "officially" learned to sew, I learned at my grandmother's knee! So some degree of familiarity with sewing would be helpful before purchasing, I think. If you want to change the parts of the pattern that aren't managed through the calculator (mainly the neckline and shoulder strap widths), it will be useful to have a bit of an idea of how sewing patterns work. However, you can work it out with a bit of trial and error if you need to!
Not only does purchasing this get you a customisable binder pattern with the ability to recreate it at any time if your body size or shape changes, but you are ALSO contributing to a trans guy's top surgery fund! And I appreciate it more than I can possibly express <3
