Hi everyone!
I don't know about you but when it comes to this time of year, I really just want to hibernate and I tend to stick to a very boring "uniform" of jeans and a jumper/long sleeved top.
I wondered if anyone has any great suggestions of patterns they love for this time of year to put together a stylish but still cozy wardrobe?
Thanks in advance!
Gemma :)
Oh I am right there with you! Every year I say I'm not going to get stuck wearing jeans and jumpers but they are just so easy and warm at this time of year!
I'm a big fan of fleece lined leggings with dresses and chunky cardis - but I'd like to find some sweater dress patterns that have a waist seam for a bit of definition there.
Yeh that's a good idea - I think the Marlo cardigan would be a good one for over dresses.
As for a jumper dress with waist definition, I'm not sure!! Please let us know if you find one Hayley 😊
The holly dress/jumper by sew over it has waist definition and fairly quick make. I try to avoid jeans because they make you feel colder unless you got thermals under them x
You're absolutely right Sue, jeans are cold! Great pattern suggestion thank you 👍🏻x
I agree with Hayley - I love dresses and a Marlo cardi. The Marlo is great with a pinafore dress or a skirt too. I prefer the longer length Marlo as it's extra snuggly!
Thanks Vicki 😊
Have you checked out the Grafton dress from Cahsmerette? It's an amazing pattern with about 400 different possibilities depending how you mix and match. Suitable for jersey fabrics - the thickest I think you could go would be a ponte roma but you could definitely make this pretty cosy with the long sleeve bodice with turtle neck and one of the skirt options!

Sounds like a great pattern Hayley, and so many options!
Hi Gemma, I'm just making a quilted Ruby Vest by Syd Graham. It's reversible with red one side and b/w gingham the other and hoping to make Lane Pants in corduroy to match
Thank you Susie! Great suggestions - I'm sure they will look lovely together 👏🏻
Did you choose any Gemma?
I've just finished the cropped Marlo in a white cable knit... It's so snuggly but need to figure out the best way to style it for my body
That sounds lovely Hayley!
I actually have so little time to sew right now with the podcast etc - I did cut out a Tilly and the buttons Marnie blouse as thought this would be nice for Christmas. Whether I get it made is another thing 🙈😂
Haha - there's always so much to do isn't there?!
There really is 🙈 I'll have to live vicariously through other people's makes 😂
