I suggest Pattern Scout for the jacket, the Anthea Allen top for the plaid fabric, the Fibre Mood Betty for the jeans, and the Style Arc Hope dress. I like all your choices, any will look great, go with your gut feeling 😊
So ambitious! I think for the jacket, you should try the Pattern Scout Cozi. It might require fewer adjustments. But whatever you choose, you’ll have a great little jacket.
Nice video, Sara! And some nice fall sewing plans! That first fabric in Hunter Green was absolutely beautiful! That’s a new favorite color of mine. Your video is really inspiring me to get back to sewing soon! And my pic for the ditzy print fabric in the last part of this video, is the Jennifer Lauren pattern… Love that one! ❤
that's what the other commenters are saying too. i might be delusional but i really don't think it would be that bad. i'd muslin it first though to check.
Thanks for sharing! I vote for the Cozi jacket, the Anthea, the Britney, and the Hope dress. I have some long-sleeved layering tees cut out to sew up. I want to make some woven parts, a fall dress, and a lounge set.
1 definitely pattern scout, jeans Vicki sews is super cute jeans, Jennifer Lauren dress. For my plans, I'm just going to roam through my stash, easy shirts and adjustable pants like the pietra pants.
Just a tip if you think your serger might not handle the thickness of your sweater fabric, when you cut out all your pieces, serge all the edges of each piece first and then sew your sweater together on your sewing machine.❤
Love all your plans Sarah. You have inspired me to try a different style pattern with plaid - great idea! Interested to see your knit tulla pants and any of the boxy jackets. The Helen’s closet Pona is on my list & a boxy style (haven’t decided on pattern) jacket in a blue melton wool, which has been in my stash for quite some time. Will take a look at the Pattern scout one you spoke about. Love your channel & can’t wait to see your makes 😊
I love pattern scout! I’ve made a few of that jacket pattern for myself, my mom and my sister. I’m in the process of making another one in a sweatshirt material.
I really like the fiber mood pants, just remember to cut it bigger than you think that you need. Easy to take away but you can never add more once the fabric is cut. My favorite garment of yours is the red trenchcoat. I am doing some basic button up shirts, however the sleeves balloon out before reaching the cuff and I designed a huge long pointed collar to replace the regular one. It will have fisheye darts in front. Next is some 14 oz black stretch denim jeans from daughter Judy. I have the fabric cut out and bagged. Then I plan on two pairs of ponte knit trousers, one in black and one in charcoal grey. I will add welt pockets to the back. Then I have the patina blouse done in black eyelet fabric. It will go nicely with my ponte knit pencil skirts and vests I made, Three or four knit sheath dresses will happen. I put on a bit of weight but the biggest issue is that after 19 months, my huge abdominal surgery scars still hurt, so roomier pants and skirts are needed.
The first jacket...I would make the second one that has your size. Trying to deal with a pattern 2 sizes larger may end up with something that is too big. On the barrel leg pants.....the first pattern you have made before looks really nice on you. The second on might date quickly and will really draw attention to your ankles and feet...if that is what you want.
Great video... Check out pattern emporiums downtown jacket... I've got 2 planned. One is a restyled style arc "Archie" that is just tooo oversized and the 2nd one as part of a two piece short set... Both cropped versions. Regular not flared version. The restyled Archie I made with a zipper closure. It'll be an experiment to restyle because I screwed it up from the get go by adding 1½" to the wrong end of the back panel Adding it to the shoulder side instead of the hem side. Gahhhh didn't have any fabric left to cut out a new panel. Substituted a different fabric that turned out kinda blah.
@@knottygnome ... I didn't think I needed it during the release days but "LiftingPins&Needles" convinced me I need both the Downtown jacket & Spellbound dress as she posted both of them... Gahhhhh Even though I generally don't wear dresses. SewingTall ... Prefer seperates.
I was thinking waiting to see what results someone else has with the Know Me jacket but being a little large could help with layering options and I think it is not as casual looking as the Pattern Scout design. I made a large plaid flannel top pullover with a v-neck a few years ago b/c I wanted to do something other than a button-up shirt and felt it came out looking like a pajama top, so I don't personally recommend that style for a larger plaid 😄. For everything else, all equally good choices - which makes it hard to pick from, I know! So, you can't go wrong with whatever you choose, right?
For the jacket, I think the sizing on the Know Me trench would be a lot of work, especially around the collar. Perhaps you could use the pattern from your red trench and shorten it instead? The Cosi pattern is quite classic so I think this style would still be fashionable for many years to come. For the blouse, I'm leaning toward the Seychelles. The Anthea is nice but I'm wondering if the twill will gather nicely enough through the shoulder seam? For the dress, I prefer the Quincy, perhaps because it has a nicer silhouette and I think the print would suit it. I find the Hope to be more sack-like. I hope I don't offend you with that comment. Being short I just find the more boxy/voluminous styles can overwhelm me very easily. I'm looking forward to seeing what you decide
if i go with the Know Me, i would make a muslin first. i can always abandon ship if it looks really bad. the rayon twill is pretty light, so i'm not worried at all about the gathers. thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Great ideas, I vote for the Anthea and the Quincy. ,my plans are to sew some needlecord dungarees, some more shirts and a wool zip up bomber jacket
ooh, a wool bomber sounds lovely!

Midi fall dress with ankle boots 🥾 Hope
I’m excited to see what you make. I like all your choices. However, making the jacket pattern that actually had your size is best. ❤
that's what the other commenters are saying too. i might be delusional but i really don't think it would be that bad. i'd muslin it first though to check.

that sounds like a nice variety of plans! thanks for sharing.
I love a pattern that fits with minimal adjustments! I like the Quincy dress!
thanks for sharing your thoughts!

sounds like you have a very achievable plan! best of luck to you.

thank you! that's a great tip.
I love your plans. I’ve made both the cozi jacket and Seychelles top numerous times and highly recommend them both.
thank you for sharing. that's good to know!

i also tend to hold onto my wools for way too long. good luck with your jacket!
I like the cozi.
Pattern Scout Cozi all the way!
thanks for weighing in!
Loving these plans! I really hope you make those Viki Sews pants soon - the pattern looks so nice.
doesn't it? i should look through my stash more often. i'm sure there are other gems in there i've forgotten i have.
I love pattern scout! I’ve made a few of that jacket pattern for myself, my mom and my sister. I’m in the process of making another one in a sweatshirt material.
that's great to know! i don't know why i haven't sewn one of my own yet.

Beautiful selection, Viki sew pants is a must!

i saw that one and really liked it! i think i'm going to wait for their Boxing Day sale though.

that's a really good point about PJs--i hadn't thought of that. i will definitely keep it in mind, so thank you!

Brittney pants
You will have some nice items for fall based on your plans. I am working on dresses for Dress a Girl Around the World .
how lovely! i wish you the best of luck.
Anthea blouse is so beautiful?
yes, i agree! i still wear mine even though the fit isn't great.
I think if you use that challis for the Style Arc Hope dress you would completely lose the shape of it.
thanks for weighing in! yeah, i'm not certain about either pattern choice honestly. i might need to think about it some more.
