Cocoon Cardigan :: New Pattern Release!

December 1, 2016

Lately, we seem to tease you a lot with patterns in-the-making.  Tease.  It’s what we do.  The Cocoon Cardigan was a long, drawn out tease, with multiple appearances in our Instagram feed.  But guess what?  It’s here!  The wait is over!  No more teasing, we promise.

15304627_10103072937769963_6207666889718635781_o

Oh boy, you are going to LOVE this cardigan.  It’s like wearing a hug.  A hug that is full of customizable options, that is!

The pattern is drafted for sizes XXS – Plus 3X.  It’s a dolman style sleeve, so it’s looser fitted and insanely fast to put together.  There are THREE sleeve lengths (short, 3/4 and long — each with multiple band options), TWO hem lengths (cropped or tunic length), TWO neckband options (short or tall), and optional pockets (patch or inseam)!  On top of all of that, we have also included a  PDF layers feature for printing.

**Want to learn more about how to measure yourself for this pattern?  We’ve got you covered with an in-depth blog HERE.

The three different sleeve length options will take you from one season to the next.  Choose between short sleeve, 3/4 length, and long sleeves and transition between all four seasons.

With two different hem lengths, you’ve got all of your bases covered.  Get more coverage with a booty-covering tunic…

…or take it a little shorter and a whole lot sassier with a cropped length!

And ladies.  Have we talked pockets yets?  POCKETS!  Doesn’t that make literally every outfit better?  We have included both in-seam and patch options.  So you can go wild!  (As wild as one could go with pockets on a cardigan, haha.)

cocoon-pockets

Were you wondering if the Cocoon Cardigan would work for maternity wear?  Yes, yes, a million times yes!  It’s perfect, no alterations required!

Papa, Mama + Baby Bear Joggers! :: New Pattern Release

November 10, 2016

We are officially announcing the release of, not just one, but THREE patterns: Papa, Mama and Baby Bear Joggers!!  (I’ll wait while you do a little happy dance.)

Maybe you feel like you’ve been waiting forever since Judy first teased with you with jogger images, and maybe it took a little longer to get it “just right”, but that means you’ll be more than happy with what we’ve got for you guys.  You can clothe the entire family in joggers this fall, winter and beyond.  And you’ll want to, because they’re just that comfy and perfectly in style.

We’d like to thank Raspberry Creek for being our fabulous sponsors on this set.

bundle6

As usual, you will not be shorted on options.

The Papa Bear Joggers have two lengths (shorts and pants), three hem types (cuffed, rolled and elastic), two waistbands (elastic only or drawstring), and two pocket types (slat and patch).
The Mama Bear Joggers and Baby Bear Joggers have all the same options as the men’s pants, with a yoga waistband option included…however the Baby Bear sizes do not have a shorts length.

joggers-line-drawing

For all sizes of joggers, we recommend only using stable knits with a 20% stretch.  Think: cotton lycra, liverpool, french terry, ponte de roma, etc.  You can mix up your fabric picks by adding waistbands and cuffs that have a little more stretch, coming in with a minimum of 50% stretch horizontally.

Cuffed Bottoms:





Rolled Hem Bottoms:




Elastic Hemmed Bottoms:

Spice Cake Dolman Pattern Release!

October 6, 2016

Are you ready for fall?  We most definitely are!!  One of the fall favorites for women is the Pumpkin Spice Dolman and with mommy and me fashion becoming ever so popular, it was only time we added the mini version to the girl’s pattern line up.  We’ve actually had this planned for awhile but what better time to release it than in the fall!  We’d like to thank So Sew English Fabrics for sponsoring this pattern and providing us with some gorgeous fabrics!

So Sew English Fabricsimg_7343b

 

So, with that, meet Spice Cake!

This is a loose fitting dolman sleeve, loose through the chest, waist and semi-fitted at booty and is perfect paired with some skinny jeans or leggings.  The extra wide “bat-wing” is on trend and fit in with modern boutique style tops.  Some favorite fabrics choices are rayon spandex, brushed poly, French Terry spandex, sweater knits and jersey.  I personally love the lighter-weight knits because the dolman sleeve drapes so nicely but you can get away using a very wide array of knits.  The elbow patches can be made from any fabric and is a great way to add some extra punch to your girls’ top!

Packed with the same options as the Pumpkin Spice Dolman, The Spice Cake includes:

  • 3 Sleeve Options: Banded Short Sleeve, hemmed 3/4 and long sleeves.
  • 4 Hem Options: Straight Hem, Short and Tall Banded and curved.
  • Elbow Patches

Short Sleeve:

P4P Raglan Week: Jolly Roger Raglan Update + Add-Ons Release!

September 19, 2016

Welcome to the first day of the P4P Raglan Week!  It’s looking like you are just as excited as we are!  Let’s get the party started with Day 1: the Jolly Roger Raglan update + Jolly Roger Raglan Add-On pattern release!

raglan-week-day1

Let’s talk the Jolly Roger Raglan update first!  It’s one of the most tried and true patterns for kids in the Pattern for Pirates family, and we did a little tweaking to make it even better.  First, we added the layers feature!  We also gave the entire tutorial and pattern an overall facelift to make sure everything was perfect from neckband to hem and everything in between.

14425408_10102913036683023_4848683499498318168_o

img_7894

We have also adjusted the angle of the raglan-sleeve to better match the style of our two women’s raglans (the Relaxed Raglan and the Slim Fit Raglan).  Our testers went through several rounds of the sleeve being adjusted before we all agreed on the fit.  I think you will all love it too!

**If you already own the Jolly Roger Raglan, you will not need to re-purchase to get the updates.  If you bought here (PatternsforPirates.com) or on the Craftsy store, you will simply need to sign into your account and re-download the file.  If your purchase was via Etsy, email [email protected] (WITH PROOF OF PURCHASE) and you will get an updated file.


Now let’s talk the highly requested Add-On Pack for the Jolly Roger Raglan!  You are going to love it so much!  **You must own the Patterns for Pirates Jolly Roger Raglan as well, since this is an add-on and not a stand-alone pattern.

14311484_10102912545716923_6741414687456728065_o

The Add-On Pack is full of super fun options:

  • Two hood types (traditional and cross-over funnel hoods)

Timeless Tunic and Tiny Timeless-Pattern Release!!

September 13, 2016

I’m asked for more patterns drafted for non-stretch woven fabrics all the time! And although my heart will always sing for those quick knits 😉 I do love a nice woven top or dress too!

So without further ado, let me introduce the Timeless Tunic and the youth version the Tiny Timeless (because Baby Girl needs to match Mama sometimes)!  We also have them bundled together for a discount in the Timeless Bundle!   All will be on sale through Sunday 9/18/2016 US Central Time Zone.

new-release

listing-pictures-bundle

I love a softer drape for my own tops.  I feel like the drape gives a more flattering silhouette.  Personal favorites are rayon challis, crepe, peachskin, poly chiffon and voile.  But, I drafted it so that you can get away with using a stiffer woven like a chambray or flannel without loosing too much of the glamour!  Now you will have a great, timeless pattern that allows you to use up that gorgeous woven fabric you’ve been hoarding for that “perfect pattern”!  (ah ah ahhhhhhhhhh…)

14324626_10157531259405599_1898415430425264769_o

Both include the same options:

Tank– Perfect for warmer weather or for a nice layering piece. I loved to wear a nice silky tank under a cardigan!

14242301_10210716022718957_378574312330514505_o14241659_10100199813559177_5606052251135658841_o14125490_10207570896533783_6302897511345138404_o

Short Sleeve– A bit more coverage, but still great for warmer weather and layering!

14184470_10206952209069922_8833346384594323059_n14241581_10102547913260398_7254487766094641562_o14242208_10210571073896937_805838614165298697_o

3/4 Sleeve– A great transition length that you can wear year round.

14249950_10154503698239666_7646869345079131584_o14352546_10210567848103560_4851958667013892215_o14206059_10157281958945562_7297118569733716242_o

Long Sleeve- Take this length into the colder months no problem! A lot of our testers loved the longer sleeve paired with a cozy flannel!

14242334_10104325619441019_6908037680625653308_o14125531_10157496754100599_3483788795218596629_oimg_3072

Top/Shirt Length- Cute, comfy, and easy to wear!

14324611_10153780722145841_3662509677212397532_o14238084_10153700243027016_1014006267670653907_n

Curved Tunic Length- My personal favorite 🙂 It’s flattering and has some coverage but still looks trendy and put together. Younger girls love that curved tunic for pairing with skinnies or leggings!

img_279114231138_10153769419810841_3613078633363806887_o14290074_10153768368870841_553585620824454842_o

Dress Length- Meant to hit about 2″ above knee (a super flattering length on all shapes) you can make it casual everyday or sew it up in a nicer fabric and pair with heels to dress it up!

14258341_10207132892821807_6136906350317382751_o14207652_10157496740100599_2033111073842957631_oimg_2624

So, just how versatile is this pattern? It can really be styled up or down so many ways you could wear this anywhere!

This is such a classic look you can make it a casual, everyday/play look:

14249963_10154503755929666_9129185631609573782_o14231413_10207876129193547_6674605127882798680_o14205954_10210512674724260_4397482894494798683_o

Maybe a casual date, girls meet up, or shopping day:

14207814_10154300057696539_8237162624284821183_o14203258_10208929354683616_2720049744373384192_n14207750_10210551066636768_7037204826372407243_o

Use something a bit nicer and you have a great office or work wear attire staple. Send your littles in it for school ceremonies or picture day:

14231234_10153612253591735_8839325507524326519_o14232033_10208995061987559_5269068041149513619_o14188314_721772925249_1691406524578386645_o

It’s the perfect style for a shower or party! Perfect for those adorable border prints as well!

14196081_10153869020893317_5082474374666622486_o14291746_10100703800196229_1962536080284580740_n14249724_1066496020113465_6724777699018234887_o

You can even do a great silky fabric and make a more formal version:

14222301_10154394234975185_4863718361316041852_n14206175_10103253572656169_8892717186004317338_o14207838_10154332104716539_4627475586566883372_o

Warning though, doing this dress in a fabulous silky leopard print can really make you feel glamourous!! This little one had some great modeling poses in her fancy dress!! Don’t we all love to feel beautiful! <3 <3 <3

14311451_10154332105296539_2865024478159272751_o

I hope you enjoy this new pattern as much as we all do!

The Timeless Tunic and Tiny Timeless will be a great weapon to pull out when you or your little one find that perfect woven fabric!

There will be no disappointment in options with these swimwear bottoms!  They are a classic, high-waisted fit (think: full coverage with a slimming effect).  And you get to pick and choose how you want to put them together.  Solid, paneled, ruched side panels, multiple skirt options, and an easily-customizable fit are all features of the Hello Sailor Swim Bottoms.

On top of that, we are providing you with some extras for this release!

Sewing your own swimwear can be intimidating.  We understand.  But it doesn’t have to be!  That’s why we created this post to help ease some of your worries: Basics of Sewing Swim.  On top of that, Judy and Nicole came up with some incredible hacks for the new release: Siren + Hello Sailor Hacks.

A huge kudos goes out to our gorgeous testers!  Not only did they all survive several revisions until we got the pattern *just right*, but they were also willing to deliver some fabulous photos.  It’s not easy putting yourself on the internet in a bathing suit, but these beauties made it look effortless.  Feel free to poke through the photos and get some inspiration from them.  And then hop on over to our Facebook group and look for more photos in our Hello Sailor Album.

And then get to sewing!  It’s swimsuit season and you’re about to have the first one to ever fit you perfectly!  Woot!

Like all Patterns for Pirates patterns, this walks you through all of the steps in an easy to read manner.  While it could sound super intimidating to work with special swim fabrics, it’s broken down into simple steps that will turn you into a bathing beauty in no time.  On top of the step-by-step instructions in the pattern, we’ve also handed you some basic bullet points for sewing swimwear in a blogpost here: Basics of Sewing Swim.

The Siren Swim Top pattern comes packed full of options: cup size, pointed/straight/back flounce, criss-cross/regular straps, cups, power mesh, etc.  As a bonus, Judy and Nicole also took it one step further and gave you some really fun and easy hacks.  Check out their blog post here: Siren + Hello Sailor Hacks.

And don’t forget to gather all of the inspiration you can from our darling testers.  We are lucky to have such gorgeous women, willing to share these images with us!  If these pictures aren’t enough, be sure to head over to our album on Facebook: Siren Swim Top Album.   Now get to sewing!
