My Favorite Plus-Size Loungewear Patterns

I feel like I’ve been living in loungewear for the past 6 weeks. Whether I’m actually working out or actively maintaining my sanity, it seems like workout and lounge attire is my pandemic go-to look. But being plus-size, I can sometimes look sloppy and that’s not the look I’m going for. So here’s a roundup of my favorite plus-size loungewear looks that I’ve been sporting as of late.

Living through a pandemic means lots of dressing down. Here are my fave plus-size loungewear patterns that are also pretty chic as well!

Plus-Size Loungewear Patterns

Made for Mermaids Stella Sweatshirt

I’m not going to say how many of these I made in testing–it’s an absurd amount. But this year I’ve added even more to my collection. I love how there are so many options for this sweatshirt–my personal fave is the off-the-shoulder look. I love showing off my tattoo and it adds a little jazz to an otherwise possibly bland look. This isn’t a baggy sweatshirt–it’s more fitted and highlights my curves so that’s a plus for me.

  • Casually paired with leggings.
  • Dressed up with cargo pants.

High-Waist Bike Shorts

Last year my friend Katie said that bike shorts were everything for working out and living. I didn’t want to believe her or agree. And then I caved and made some because I didn’t have enough of the fabric to make full out leggings. Friends. I’ve been missing out on a big part of life! High-waist bike shorts + a sports bra or crop top is this plus-size girls dream! I used the Patterns for Pirates Pegs + Classic Sports Bra to create these looks. Another excellent pattern for this is Petite Stitchery Megara Leggings.

Patterns for Pirates Loggers

I remember when these went into testing and I was like, “yay… another jogger pattern!” I was wrong. I finally bought them and am so in love. Like I even taught myself how to put in grommets so I could have a cute little drawstring. Loggers are basically the love child of the shape of joggers and the fit of leggings. They are peak comfortable.

So Sew English Seattle T-Shirt

This is the one pictured above. I LOVE a good v-neck tee. But when your bust is 4 sizes smaller than your hip range, making your own t-shirts is definitely a thing. I love the curved hem and fit on this t-shirt pattern. If crew neck is more your style, they have that option too.

Petite Stitchery LAB Lounger

Lounging. In. Style. And yes, I made two versions that were both out of cheetah print–judge someone else. This pull-on jumpsuit is comfy enough to wear around the house and cute enough to style for an outing. For the off the shoulder look, I didn’t band or hem anything and I love the look.

Staying Put With The Patterns for Pirates Naughty or Nice PJs

Ok. So there’s a lot of days that I just don’t feel like leaving the bed or need to look like I’ve left. The Naughty or Nice PJs from P4P is my fave jammie set to make. I normally make mine in the cheekie style with long sleeves because I hate for my legs to be hot.

Ok friends. What are your plus-size loungewear go-to looks?

    I LOVE and admire your homemade items. You are very talented. I have been sewing since I was a very young girl and took a slight break but am slowly getting back into it again. I would like to try making some side money but am not confident in that. I recently picked up a wonderful book on how to design clothes and how to do measurements so every thing fits the body perfectly. My problem is materials. I mainly use cotton. But I would like to try something different and don’t know how to go about it. Could you advise me please. I’m even picking up a dress maker’s mannequin on Wednesday to help me in my new outreach. Any advice would be appreciated. TIA.

      Thanks so much and congrats on stepping out of your comfort zone! Depending on what you have in mind to make will determine fabrics I suggest–so what did you plan on starting with?

Holidays are for #MeMade. I’m so excited I can Holidays are for #MeMade.

I’m so excited I can share this now! I made the skirt of my dreams using this Telio Pleated fabric in a blush color from @fabricdotcom. If you know me then you know I’m OBSESSED with these knife pleats. I ordered this fabric not sure of what pattern to use to make what I wanted. And then I realized I could use the new @madeformermaids Sienna skirt!

I hacked it to be a plain maxi and I’m so so so in love with this!!! The top is a V-neck Tess from M4M as well!

It’s only Saturday afternoon and I’ve already It’s only Saturday afternoon and I’ve already had the best weekend ever because I got to meet two people in the sewing community that I admire so much.

Yesterday @cut.sew.make came over and it felt like I’d known her all my life. Like there was zero awkwardness and it was like we see each other all the time. Amanda is one of the most talented and feisty people I know who has the most loving heart.

And I just left shopping at Fabric World with THE @johassler. Everything about Jenny just makes me feel at home. Her style is unmatched but her heart and kindness? I’m honored to say I know her.

The sewing world had brought me some of the most honorable and amazing people that I likely would have never met and I’m so grateful for that and them!!!!
Someone asked me what my favorite make from 2020 w Someone asked me what my favorite make from 2020 was and this Vintage Jumper from @patternsforpirates and the Dream Tee from @amelialanedesigns are two of my faves.

I love the silhouette of the Vintage Jumper so much and I always feel amazing when I wear them. And the Dream Tee has the most epic deep V that screams my name.

We’re about halfway packed and my stress levels surrounding being displaced from our home are dropping. After running some errands and hopefully meeting up with a sewing buddy, I’ll be working on some more projects.

What’s going on with your Saturday?
His cuteness is such a distraction. I’ve loved s His cuteness is such a distraction. I’ve loved sewing for my girls but sewing for him? An unexpected pleasure. I love how he looks in raglans and sporty attire and since he likes to wait till the last minute to go to the bathroom, a stretch waistband is best for us.
