Read my review & enter giveaway for The Magic Pattern Book
I’ve got a review of The Magic Pattern Book by Amy Barickman over in our Giveaways section. I filed it there because there’s a giveaway at the end! So go read my review and then enter the giveaway while you’re there.
Okay, confession time: I love a good oversized hoodie. And lately, I’ve been eyeing the new Outdoor Jacket Oodie from Oodie.com—the one with the super snuggly fleece lining? It’s basically a wearable doona you can take on a camping trip or dog walk. Total dream, right?
But the price tag? Not so dreamy.
So naturally, I went on the hunt for a DIY alternative, and I think I’ve found a winner: this Sweatshirt Dress Sewing Pattern on Etsy. It’s designed for knits (so yes to stretch and comfort), has that oversized cozy fit, and totally gives Oodie vibes—especially the outdoor kind if you choose the right fabrics.
If you are looking for something a little longer, then check out this Sweatshirt Dress pattern. This one will keep you warm all the way down to your ankles.
I would love to make a skirt to start off with. I’ve been sewing for years, mostly home decor. I think I am finally ready to venture out. This book seems to be just what I’m looking for.
I would love to make a swing coat!
I would like to try the Alice tunic
