Fall Into Fashion – November 30 :: Summer Cover Up

November 30, 2020

All November long, we are looking to “Fall Into Fashion” with some sewing and style fun. As the weather cools down, fashion heats up! This time of year can provide some of the best opportunities for styling yourself.

Have you ever heard the term “capsule wardrobe”?  It is the practice of editing your wardrobe down to your favorite clothes (aka the items that fit your fashion sense, your body, and your lifestyle right now), remixing them regularly, and shopping/sewing less often and more intentionally.

Here at Patterns for Pirates headquarters, we thought it would be so fun to show you how to do this with your handmade wardrobe!  We hired some incredible sewists from the Pirate Community and asked them to sew a pattern from our collection, and then show you how to get more wearability out of it.  They are showing up each day to remix a different P4P pattern AND the pattern of the day will be on sale for that 24-hour period.  So fun, right?

New Pattern Releases: The Cozy Set!

November 24, 2020

Can you believe that it’s already the end of November? The holidays are growing nearer and our need for “secret pajamas” is at an all time high. The Cozy patterns might be the thing you’ve been needing to save 2020, my friends! We’ve created the Cozy Pants and Cozy Wrap for the ultimate comfort and cuteness and we are ready to tell you all about it!

The youth sizes range from 3m – 14 and the adult sizes are for the full, newer size chart, extending from XXS – Plus 5X!  If you haven’t sewn with us in a while, please make sure to check the size charts, as there were slight adjustments made to accommodate the new size range for adults.

Let’s first talk about the Cozy Wrap!

The Cozy Wrap is the perfect wardrobe builder.

It is a super versatile pattern that you can create very different looks with the options and fabric choice. Wear it as an open cardigan, by tying it to the back. Or wrap it all the way around you, and tie in the front like a classic wrap top.

All of the lengths have a fun side split hem with a longer back. The tie pulls in the front in at the waist for a flattering silhouette while the back stays flowing loose. Since it gets tied in at the waist you have a wide range of knits you can choose from not narrowed into something with a lot of drape or more stable- both work! Since the belt is seperate you can also make more then one to give you even more looks!

Traditional slimmer fit sleeves can be hemmed or cuffed or you can pick a fun and flirty gathered sleeve. No matter what options you go with the Cozy Wrap will feel like a hug wrapped around you or the loved one you make it for!

These patterns are drafted for knits like sweater knits, double brushed poly, spandex french terry blends. waffle knits, ribbed knits, cotton spandex, and plush knits.

Options include: shirt length, tunic length, knee length, midi length, slim sleeves hemmed or cuffed, and gathered sleeves.


Shirt, Tunic, Knee, Midi Lengths
Shirt, Tunic, Knee, Midi
Long Sleeve Cuffed, Short Sleeve, Long Sleeve Gathered
Short Sleeve, Long Sleeve Hemmed, Long Sleeve Cuffed, Long Sleeve Gathered

Enjoy several videos throughout the tutorial like fabric suggestions, how to add or remove length, and sewing up the side seams.

Let’s talk the Cozy Pants now, shall we?

The Cozy Pants are what your loungewear and secret pajama dreams are made of! Grab a brushed sweater knit for a super cozy lounge set or go with a nice nylon ponte and wear them as a dressier pair of slacks. Either way, you’ll be super comfortable with both options!

Choose from a mid rise or a high rise on both short or pant lengths. You can sew up the side seams plain or add a fun side split detail. The front patch pockets are nice a roomy and have a unique straight upper edge. You can add a drawstring for fabrics without great recovery or just because it’s an adorable detail to have!

Any options will give a flattering silhouette with a slim fit from waist through hip and then looser through the legs that give you great lines and will make you feel comfortable and cute at the same time. Just be prepared to make SEVERAL because you will not want to take these off whether you’re sleeping, doing household chores, working, or running errands. These pants are the answer you’ve been looking for!

These patterns are drafted for high stretch knits like sweater knits, double brushed poly, spandex french terry blends, ponte, ribbed knits, cotton spandex, ITY, and rayon spandex.

Options include: Short length, pants length, plain side seams, side split side seams, plain waistband, waistband with drawstring, front patch pockets, mid rise and high rise.

Pattern: Loggers

Quick Summary: Maybe you can’t decide between the fitted look of leggings and the great pockets of joggers… Enter the perfect choice of LOGGERS 😉 the tight fit pant with pockets and cuffs!  These loggers are tight fit, so still need a high percentage of stretch (we recommend 50% stretch with a little vertical- although you can use fabric with zero vertical they are more comfortable long wear with some vertical stretch).  You can use performance fabric for a great pair of work out wear bottoms, french terry for a cozy pair, ponte for a thicker fabric, thermal for some jammies, cotton lycra, sweater knit and more! The short length make great lounge wear, work out wear, under dresses or swim cover up shorts!
