DIY Winter Wardrobe Recap


Hi Friends! You may have noticed last week that I've finished up my Winter Wardrobe sewing plans. I love everything that I've made and have worn some of the pieces several times already. And while I'm happy with everything I've made I'm now in the withdrawal phase and unsure what to do next. I've a few projects in progress that I'm playing around with but I've lost the motivation that these sewing plans provide. That said, I do have lots of plans on the horizon that I will be sharing with you soon. What are you making these days? Are you feeling inspired and excited about what you're making?

Winter Wardrobe No. 3 Zippered Sweatshirt

Today I'm excited to share number 3 on my DIY Winter Wardrobe list, the zippered sweatshirt. The inspiration for this item came from a few places. First, I've noticed a lot of cool sweatshirts in stores lately as well as unique zipper details. Next, I found this amazing Japanese knit. Visions of zippers, sweatshirts and lounge pants danced in my head. And the rest as the say is history.

Winter Wardrobe No. 5 Striped Top

Hey there crafty friends! Today I have number 5 on my list of DIY Winter Wardrobe sewing projects share with you. This is a knit striped top made from the (free!) Mandy Boat pattern by Tessuti. The pattern is one-size-fits all which will probably either make you gasp in horror or squeal in delight. To be honest during the sewing process, I wasn't sure if I was going to like this top. It was just so loose fitting. But after I tried it on I fell in love and did not take it off for the rest of the day.

Winter Wardrobe – No. 4 Leggings



Hi friends! I'm really excited to share my new DIY leggings with you today. These are number 4 on my list of Winter sewing plans. I've been wanting to sew leggings for a while now. I've seen so many great versions out there in the blogosphere. Plus, I spend many a weekend lounging in leggings. They're so comfy. It's an irresistible DIY. So irresistible in fact that upon finishing one pair I immediately made a second!

Winter Wardrobe No. 6 – Triangle Bag with Tutorial

A while ago, probably more than a year ago, I was in this hip boutique that featured Japanese products in a very hip area of town, when I spied a very cool tote bag. It was sewn on the bias and made a triangle shape. It was so cool and looked deceptively simple. I went home and started playing around with fabric and even paper. And then I found this tutorial from Between The Lines and thought "wow! she's really figured it out!". And now at last I've made my own Triangle Bag.

Winter Wardrobe – No. 1 Pajama Shorts


All week I've been sharing sleepwear inspiration and today I have my own actual DIY sleep shorts to share. These shorts are number 1 on my list of DIY Winter Wardrobe plans. I used the Lakeside Pajamas pattern from Grainline Studio and fabric from a thrifted, vintage dress.

Winter Wardrobe – No. 2 Knitted Socks


To kick off my DIY Winter Weekends Wardrobe, I have a new pair of knitted socks. In the interest of full disclosure, I need to admit that I actually started these socks back in May. And I finished them last weekend. Are you wondering why one toe is black? Well, these socks were stash busters. I had one ball of blue variegated yarn that I bought years ago and I thought it would be just enough for one pair. When I got to the end of the second sock and realized it was not quite enough, I substituted in some black yarn leftover from these socks.

DIY Wardrobe – Winter Weekends

Sometime back in November my sewing and crafting focus shifted to gift-making. Now that the holidays are over I'm ready to get back in the saddle with some sewing for the chilly winter weekends. I'm pretty excited to to make these items. A number of them have been on my imaginary list for quite a while. So here it goes. Come back soon to follow along with my progress!

1. Pajama Shorts
Pattern: Lakeside Pajamas from Grainline Studio
For these shorts I'm recycling fabric from a vintage dress.

2. Knitted Socks
Pattern: Meida Socks from Favorite Socks

3. Zippered Sweatshirt
Pattern: Self-drafted
I'm planning to use a rub-off method and/or the book DIY Couture to draft this sweatshirt. For the fabric, I have a Japanese knit in my stash.

4. Leggings
Pattern: Self-drafted
There are a few tutorials out there for making your own leggings pattern and I can't wait to try it out.

5. Striped Top
Pattern: Tessuti Mandy Boat Tee
I have a knit striped fabric in my stash that will be perfect for this top.

6. Triangle Bag
Pattern: Self-drafted
This is another one from my long to-do list. It will be perfect for weekend shopping or toting my latest knitting project.
