Here’s a few pins from my collection which have captured my eye recently, and the fabric and patterns to duplicate them.
Duplicate this outer layer with TFS Poppy Coat, StyleArc Ingrid Coat, I AM Merlin, or Leisl & Co Chaval.
Chocolate houndstooth, carob plaid houndstooth, Miss Maude plaid, or this grandad check coating make a great choice for the jacket.
Bomber Jackets! Does everyone need one? Maybe.
Use these patterns from Seamwork, Grasser, Cashmerette Cashmerette, Trish Newberry, Jalie or the free pattern from Mood
Get your ribbing from Miss Maude, Fable Fabrics, Milky Fabrics, For Fabrics Sake, Backstreet Bargains, or Fabric Box.
Gingham, gathers and a puffy sleeve? Dupe this with the Faye Dress from NZ-based designer Hubba Ding.
The Fabric Store has so many options for gingham, that it’s gingham galore over there!
Find your perfect shacket pattern here on the blog.
Dupe these with purple check wool/alpaca coating, multi-coloured jumbo plaid, a pastel fleece from Mood Fabrics, or black and brown wool check, red and black buffalo plaid.
A yellow dream ensemble! Check out the winter layering roundup for turtleneck options.
Dupe the pants with Audrey Pants or Eddie Woven Pants from StyleArc, the free Sara Pleated Pants, the Inès High Waisted Trousers or the Tatjana Trousers from Just Patterns.
This great gathered dress heroes this excellent fabric which has a brush-stroke patterned fabric.
Dupe it with the Muna and Broad Huon Dress and this painterly pear-print rayon from Fab Fabrics in Auckland.
These patched jackets use repurposed fabric to create a unique jacket!
No fabric suggestions for this one since repurposing and scrap-busting seems to be the aim of the game!
Duplicate the pattern with the Muna and Broad Cobden Chore Jacket, Julien Chore Jacket, the over-shirt, or the free Paola Workwear Shirt.
These silk snakey PJs pair a slippery serpent with slinky silk.
See the ChCh sews roundup of sleepwear patterns.
For snake fabric see this Liberty Fabrics print from Maai Design or this snakey Melanie Macilwain print. The Fine Cloth Company has a great selection of coloured plain silks.
