### Best for

Searching current and out-of-print sewing patterns

### What the source establishes

Threadloop's official guide describes an independent, fully crowdsourced database covering available and out-of-print sewing patterns. Its search supports pattern type, fabric type, age group, body type, cup size, level, format, file features, language, measurements, availability, and other filters; members can also track a stash, wishlist, projects, reviews, and discussions.

### Know before using

Community members add and quality-control the records, so confirm sizing, measurements, fabric suggestions, format, availability, errata, license, and purchase terms with the designer or publisher. Adding an entry to a stash does not provide the pattern files. Saved searches and private PDF storage are paid Plus features, and a listing or review does not establish pattern accuracy or fit.

### Best for

Studying one regionally grounded approach to plus-size garment-patternmaking education and the relationship between body data and inclusive classroom practice

### What the source establishes

CAPES's eduCAPES repository identifies this November 2023 digital book as an Instituto Federal de Goiás educational product by Yane Ondina Almeida and Wanderley Azevedo Brito. The Portuguese abstract describes a theoretical and practical guide for inclusive plus-size garment-patternmaking education using regional anthropometric measurements from a ProfEPT master's study. The item exposes a 62.96 MB PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Brazil license.

### Know before using

This is one educational product built from a specific master's study, population, body-type framing, and regional measurement context. It is not a current Brazilian or international sizing standard, universal plus-size block, ready-to-sew pattern, regulated curriculum, fit guarantee, or evidence that the reported measurements represent another population or product. Review the study method, sample, language, license, intended learners, and product-specific fit evidence before reuse.
