How To Set Up Your Fall Wardrobe Patterns

by aaronicac | Featured, Sew With Me

Can you believe that fall is knocking on the door? It feels like it was just yesterday that I was stalking and trying to figure out what to use for spring and here we are getting ready for another season change. Naturally, I’m sitting here reviewing my must-haves for fall wardrobe patterns.

The short answer: all of them. Ha! 

Obviously this is not sustainable for the amount of time that I have available to sew but there’s a method to how I decide what patterns to use.

A Guide To Your Fall Wardrobe Patterns

When it comes to deciding on fall wardrobe patterns, it’s best to use a mix of more complicated patterns with some easier patterns. My normal makes don’t take longer than an hour to make from cut to finish. 

Bananas, yes. But this is because of my lifestyle. I run a business (or 3) from home where I also homeschool my 3 children. Time is of the essence and I don’t have a whole lot of it. But those simple patterns can’t be the only thing in my wardrobe! 

Easier Patterns

Depending on your sewing capabilities, these are normally your basics made with knits that don’t involve any extras like buttons, zippers, or ties. Some of my faves are:

  • Fall in Love Sweater by Ellie and Mac
  • Game Time Hoodie by Ellie and Mac
  • Mama Stella by Made for Mermaids
  • Mama Bear Joggers by Patterns for Pirates
  • Comfy Cowl by Rebecca Page Patterns
  • The Rory by Petite Stitchery
  • Fusion Leggings by Petite Stitchery

My Fall In Love Sweater in French Terry–literally one of my faves!!!

And these are literally just a couple of my go-to patterns. 

More Complex Patterns

The harder the makes, the more accomplished I feel. I’ve yet to fully jump into jeans patterns (namely because it’s hard to find plus size jeans patterns). This fall I do plan on making some of them though as well as some harder skirts. I’m loving the Women’s Sundance Skirt from Petite Stitchery–this is a must make for me this fall. 

Define Your Style

This will be the key determining factor in what patterns to use. I’m sticking with a more boho-chic feel–think flare jeans, crop tops, flowy dresses–with accents of bold Ankara prints. Because I plan on using a lot of woven fabrics, this will influence my choice in patterns as well.

This is the new Batwing Dress from Ellie And Mac in a bubble crepe.

I used the So Classic Sundress hack to create separates in this beautiful Ankara print. 

So tell me–have you gotten your fall style together? What are you must-have fall wardrobe patterns?

Instagram post 18017779225247809 It’s the final day of freebies for @petitestitchery and I’m absolutely in love with this poncho. I’m about to be like @oprah at Christmas this year like “YOU GET A PONCHO! YOU GET A PONCHO! YOU GET A PONCHO!!!”
.
These are suuuuper easy to make and a fast sew and FREE!
Instagram post 18045888907205954 When I first saw this embroidered black velvet, I immediately knew what i wanted to make. This is suuuuuuper rare for me because I collect fabric as a hobby 😉😉😉. But it literally screamed “MAKE ME INTO A PS I LOVE YOU TOP!!!” And when fabric screams, you listen. 
It was the perfect top to wear tonight as I hung out with some friends.

Naturally there is picot elastic finishing because I think this is becoming a trademark.

Instagram post 18066158950199347 One of the things I’ve been really intentional about this year is creating a cohesive wardrobe of colors I love. Mustard, rusts, olives, and navy are all big in my closet right now and I love it because they all mix and match so well.
