This Sweatshirt Dress Pattern Might Be the Budget-Friendly DIY Version of the Outdoor Oodie Jacket

April 16, 2025 by Shellie Wilson

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.

With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve.  Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve.  When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams.  She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.
