Practical PDF Sewing Patterns

Sewing Challenge 2022 – Week 2

This weeks challenge: Staples
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

If you’ve been a fan of Flosstyle Patterns for a while you would already know that one of my absolute favourite patterns is the Sprouts, they are super quick to sew up and there are so many different ways to change them up or add things to get a completely different look all from the one pattern. So it’s no surprise that my first challenge sews for 2022 would be some Sprouts.

I found this super cute fabric at Spotlight just last week, it was so soft even before being washed, making it perfect for some cute little baby sprouts.

I love the look of the elastic bottom cuff that a lot of ready to wear baby clothes have at the moment so used the trees cuff and threaded elastic through to give the look I was after.

Once they were done I decided they didn’t look finished and needed some bibs to go with them. I used the Hybrid bib pattern to sew up some super cute matching bibs.

I even got adventurous and made another TikTok this week. You can find it here.

Happy Sewing

Making Christmas clothing for your children

Making clothes for your children is great because you can get them involved in the process. Your little ones can choose the fabric they want and share any other design ideas that they have with you. Have you ever had the perfect article of clothing for your little one in mind but not been able to find it in store? Why not use our PDF patterns to make it yourself. You can also use sewing your own children’s clothing as an opportunity to teach your children to learn how to sew too. I remember when I was little my mum would make all my clothes for me and get me involved in the process. When I was old enough to use a sewing machine, we went through the whole process of sewing a dress together., including picking out the pattern and choosing the fabric and even the zipper! It’s one of the best memories I have with my mum and it taught me a useful creative life skill. Creative activities are a great way for your family to spend quality time together.

Making clothes for your children won’t just make them happy, it will make you happy too! Sewing has been proven to improve your mood, mental health and overall wellbeing. Our shop has a variety of PDF patterns to choose from to get you started creating your own children’s clothing. If you’re not familiar with PDF patterns, read our blog post outlining all the benefits of PDF patterns over traditional sewing patterns. 

Handmade articles of clothing are unique and one of a kind. Even if you use the same dress pattern multiple times, each item will be different and unique. Handmade clothing items aren’t just for your children, but they can be made for gifts for the other children in your life, like your nieces, nephews, and children of friends. 

Below I’ve curated my top six flosstyle PDF patterns to download for Christmas clothing creations: whether they be for yourself or for gifts! If you haven’t used PDF patterns before, give our how-to guide a read and you’ll be an expert in no time.

Bibs 

Boutique Bib and Hybrid Bib pattern duo is a perfect and simple gift idea for newborns up to toddlers. Both bibs are adjustable to grow as the child grows. This pattern is suitable for beginners and is quick and easy to whip up. To make the bib extra special, we have a free how-to guide for inverted applique without using any glue or leaving the design with zigzag edges: just neat lines. 

Dresses

Why not make a dress for the little cuties in your life? The Artiste Dresses Set pattern set comes with three interchangeable patterns for advanced beginners. 

Skirts

Six skirt patterns for six dollars – how good is that? The Milkshake Skirts pattern set is suitable for beginners and will you keep you busy creating all sorts of adorable skirts for the little ones in your life. 

Tees 

There is nothing better than a plain tee. The Ventura Lite pattern is perfect for your little ones t -shirt needs. 

Shorts 

The Star Shorts pattern set contains five different shorts patterns for boys and girls. Shorts are great for everyday wear and for playtime at the park and in the backyard. 

And everything else

If you can’t decide on the above, then the Zoo Collection pattern set is for you. The Zoo pattern is basically a magical pattern that will enable you to make rompers, tee’s dresses and even swimmers! The patterns contained in the Zoo collection range in ability levels from beginner to intermediate. 

We hope this post has inspired you to get creative this festive season. If you use any of the above patterns to create Christmas goodies, please be sure to tag us in a picture of them and we will repost it on our page! 

Happy sewing!

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 20

This weeks challenge: 1m Fabric Only
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

I found this amazing dinosaur cotton spandex at Spotlight and was super excited because they usually have a pretty limited choice in the cotton spandex range.

Parker still needs some more winter pants so it was an easy choice to make some more Sprouts Twigs for him this week. I decided to make a matching pair for my nephew and a hybrid bib to go with them.

I still have some ore left that I will most likely use to make some jocks for the big kidlet, he has been asking for some more mum made jocks for awhile.

Happy Sewing

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 15

This weeks challenge: Sew an Item for you Sewing Space
Accepted/Rejected: Rejected

A few weeks ago I got some amazing double gauze fabric that I have been wondering what to make with, its super soft and I love the earthy tone to the colours.

I haven’t sewn with double gauze before so decided to start with something small this week and made some Hybrid Bibs. These are great for catching drool and are adjustable from newborn to toddler size.

52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 14

This weeks Challenge: Something with Flowers (Accepted)

In case you haven’t noticed I have been loving sewing up all things cute, little and girly in the last few weeks for a friend expecting a baby. This week is no different with me sewing up a pile of Hybrid Bibs as part of my gift.

These bibs are great, with 2 snaps on each side they are adjustable from newborn to toddler size and perfect to add to an outfit as a functional accessory.

These are a super quick sew, I am always surprised when I get them sewn up so quickly.

Happy Sewing xx
