Cathy from Trinkets In Bloom shows how to sew a reversible fabric basket to hold trinkets and other small items. They’re made from two layers of home dec weight fabric so the sides stand up on their own. She gives dimensions to make them in three sizes. Go to her tute.

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.
So cute and practical! I love it!
