Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
If your father (or husband) is a tie-wearing kind of man, you can use Purl Bee’s Father’s Day Tie tutorial to make a one-of-a-kind Father’s Day gift. She shows how to sew a tie. If you have a son, you can follow use their tutorial for the Little Boy’s Tie and make a matching father-son set. Go to the Father’s Day tie tutorial.
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.
