hi and welcome back to the crafty
Sew and So vlog I'm Freya and today I'm
going to be sharing with you five of my
favorite autumn winter patterns for 2019.
Some of them are ones I have made
already and some of them are ones that I
am planning on making because they
either new out or ones that are new
to me. So it's actually really warm day
today so even though it's September so
it feels a little weird to be talking
about autumn winter patterns right now.
but with sewing, and any craft really,
you've got to think ahead a little bit
and start prepping so you've got the
clothes ready for when you want them.
when the weather does cool down. So my
first pattern pick,  I'm gonna start
with the ones I've made before. Whenever the
weather cools down I immediately start
reaching for trousers. Now I'm normally
big fan of dresses and I will wear a lot
of dresses paired with tights and things
in the winter. But the autumn
calls for jeans in my opinion. So I have
made three pairs of ginger jeans now and
I've got plans to keep making them
because I really like this pattern and
if I've got it so the fit is really
really great on my body. I have made I
like the skinnier fit that I generally
take the basted pair in and ask
Sarah or whoever at the shop to help me
fit the leg because there's always
adjustments that need making for a
really smart finish. I'd absolutely
say this is one of my absolute favourite
patterns.   I've made my first pair of
jeans last February before last,
so that is 2018, and with this
pattern and really piece of them and the
you know you get a lot of support and
advice in the instructions so it's
really quite a good one for
new new jeans makers it is classed as or
where does she say it difficulty four
out of five so it's not one I'd
recommend to people pick up and have a
go when they're quite new to dress
making but that's really because you've
got quite a lot of new techniques in
there in the Assembly of the pockets and
the waistband and of course the fly
front Heather Lou who's the designer
and has a lot of tutorials for that kind
of thing on her website so with either
like a little bit of support from more
experienced dressmaker or just really
taking your time over
there's no reason people who are
confident even if they're relatively new
to sewing
couldn't you have a go but it's bearing
that in mind one now I've made them I
can make I can do most oh let me look at
the back most of the front of the jeans
in around three to four hours and then
it's just constructing the legs and
getting the fit right and then doing the
hemming and things so it does get you
know with a bit of confidence and muscle
experience do you get a bit faster of
those so it's worth churning a few out
for the cooler months in my opinion
we've got some really lovely denims at
Crafty at the moment so I'm planning my
next pair in this light wash denim like
I wear it year-round and I just really
like this kind of lighter color bleached
look we've also got some really nice
dark denims in a gray denim and some
lilac denims
so they're really fun you need for this
pattern around one and a half to two
meters unless you're short like me and
then I can get out of these the about a
meter and a quarter and I cut a size do
14 in this pattern and then take it in a
little bit because it's in between sizes
12 and 14
on the on the waist and the hips so
that's worth bearing in mind it's one of
those ones with a little bit extra
fabric in the yardage but it depends on
your height I take a good 5 inches off
the included height so that's where that
will come in yes a fun in pattern to
have a go and quite an involved one so
if you're feeling like challenging
yourself this is a staple in my autumn
wardrobe.  Then another staple in my
autumn wardrobe is Grainline Studio's
Archer button-up so I go for a kind of
an autumn uniform as it were of jeans
and a throw on top so sometimes they're
long-sleeve things like this which is an
Everyday Amazing Shift dress by My
Handmade Wardrobe except it's a top
version and or like a button-down shirt.
I've made this one again around three or
four times. When I find a pattern I like
I commit so I've made this in some like
lightweight denims, I've made
it in some brushed Cotton's and I've
made it in like some chambray is like
some light colored ones, so they're not
quite denim but they're not they're
not other Cotton's either. You can also
make it in anything like a viscose like
a viscose with a bit of body to it maybe
a viscose twill or viscose-- I can't  pronounce
it - Chalis and or you could make it in
a printed cotton a lightweight one like
a lawn would be fantastic. and you could show off a really fun
print in this pattern. I am a size 12
though, again, I'm between size 12 and 14
on my waist. You do need quite a lot
of fabric for these because especially
if your pattern matching across the
front of the bodice.  You've got long
sleeves as well as a bodice and then
you've got details like pockets and
collar so that
more fabric. There's some really
lovely options on our website so I'll
put a link below.  I'm going to do a
little curated list for each of the
patterns of fabrics I would recommend
and put the links to those below. Yeah,
 another staple in my wardrobe! So
you'll see me in this one a lot in the
next few months. Then the other one
that's staple in my wardrobe is the
Linden Sweatshirt, again by Grainline
studios. I generally do this version, I
have yet to make the short sleeve one
but Never Say Never.
I have made,  see I really do commit,  I've
made about five of these including a
t-shirt version in a single Jersey. So
I'm making that at a moment and doing
red sleeves with a redneck band and then a
white body.  Then I'm just lengthening
the body a little bit so I
don't need the bottom band and so it's
like a t-shirt I care a raglan t-shirt.
Again quite a simple but
versatile pattern that I really really
get on with. Again, I'm a size 12 to 14 so
I think with this because it's quite
loose at the waist I just cut a straight
size 12. This one's a beginners one as well and
it gives a lot of information. It's
quite simple in that you're attaching
these two bodies neckline and then cuffs. So it's a is a great one for
beginners is working with stretch
jerseys.  I'd recommend working with
 something quite stable to begin
with you can do it in Ponte romas or
French Terry's.  It says on the back
sweatshirt fleece and I've done it in a
light lighter weight ones as well. I
am makeing one as a t-shirt
 so that's a really nice pattern
and that's also available from the shop.
But this so made lots of these but this
year I've got my eye on Jarram
sweatshirt from Megan Nielsen. This is
only just got Megan Nielson patterns
in it crafty sew and so and there's some
really lovely ones.  I've got the Ash
Jeans which I'm making a pair of this
autumn. 
I wear a lot of jeans and I thought I'd
branched out from the Gingers.   I've also got
the Coeleslow just think how you
pronounce it swimming costume which I'm
gonna make for my holiday that's coming
up in October. Sorry! I forgot
then!  And then I've also got my eye on
the darling Ranges dress which i think
is such a sweet little style and could
also potentially be in this list because
if you make it like a chambre or like a
heavier linen that would make a nice
autumnal dress 'cos it's got like mid
length sleeves. But I'm getting ahead of
myself because that's not intended on
today .sorry! Hey Jerrah so I really like
about this is this one has
multiple different options so I really
like this one which is the one that the
lady is modeling and with the tie front I
think that's a fun detail that I would
really enjoy wearing,
It's got like drop shoulders and then
big cuffs. And then you've got like a
plain one on with the curved hem which I
also quite like. Then one with a nice
tunnel funnel neck. So I'm staring at the
pattern in the thing so it's not meaning
to be rude. So yeah I think this one's
really nice because it's got so many
variations. I'm working with
the jeans pattern and 
I've cut out, but it'll probably be
similar, so I'm working with like a size
14
and it's a little, yeah, so that again
between 12 and 14 but I think I'd just
go for a straight 14 because it's a
jumper you can have it a bit looser. But
yeah I'm really looking forward to
having a go at this one for a bit of
variation in my jumper wardrobe.  What
does what did she say for this one?
She labels it as an other 'one', so again
similar to the linden sweatshirt, a great
one for beginners. Similar fabrics you
can use, so your Ponte roma, if you're
very new. But you've also got your
sweater fabrics and
sweatshirt fleece French terry and you
can also use ribbing if you can find
some. It's one of those things it's quite
difficult to find ribbing to match but
you can use the same fabric as the main
jumper to use for the ribbing.  So if you
can't find it it's not the end of the
world at all. oh yeah that one I think is
very high on my list of autumn patterns
for this year cuz I really would like to
have a go at that one! And the last one
that's a tried and tested pattern, I
talked about in my last vlog as well.
The Cozy Jersey dress by My Homemade
Wardrobe and this is the pattern company
that myself and Sarah have started.They're all patterns that we have
used in our workshops,  and that we've develop to be suitable for beginners and
intermediate sewers to build
skills. and the Cozy Jersey tunic or
dress has three variations.  I'm just
going to flip it over so you can see a
bit better. This is like the
sweatshirt version which I was showing
you last week and then you've got like a
dress version with pockets or a dress
version with ties. You've got sleeve
options no sleeves, this one has little
cuffs, this one's just plain. It's a
really nice versatile pattern and I
really love this. I either wear like
the sweater version with like jeans
(stick to my theme) or like the longer
versions with tights and leggings for a
really easy throw on comfortable outfit
for cozy winter days when you just want
to be wrapped in a cuddle. This one we've
labelled as a beginner, so it's
got more to it than the Linden
sweatshirt and things, but it's got
really clear instructions.  We've taken
clear photographs for every step and
written out the instructions. They're
as easy as they can be to follow and
it's designed to for beginners so you
can succeed and make a Jersey garment with ease.  In terms of sizing, with this
one I make a size medium. With all our patterns we have
a wide size range, this one goes from
extra small, which fits up to a 32 inch
bust, but also will fit 28 and a 30 inch
bust.  And it goes from like 28 up to an
extra-large which fits up to a 53 inch
bust. That's around sizes 8 through 26.
So that's a really nice one
for everyone to wear this winter.
and I really enjoy being wrapped up warm.
Now the other one that I haven't done
yet is the new one
from Tilly and the Buttons and it's the
Indigo. It's a Kind of dress or smock or tunic
however you want to describe
it.  and yes because it she's included
long sleeves,  and there's also the option
to add like a bell sleeve which I don't
think is one that I would particularly
like but it's it's there.  I think
that could be really nice as a dress
version.  Because of the long sleeves I
think it'd be really nice in something
like a heavy twill, no, something like a
heavy viscose so this is one of my plans
my autumn sewing plans. I don't shy away
from colour in the autumn (it's not all
brown for me) but and this is a viscose
crepe so it's got a nice amount of 
body and texture to it, which is perfect
for this dress because it also has a
nice map drape, so like hangs nicely.
If you can see. So, I think that's going
to be really lovely and again, pairing it
with tights or or leggings and then like
nice boots and a scarf and I'd be
really snuggly.  So yes so that is my autumn
winter sewing pattern pick for this year.
I really hope you like them.  Have I miss
any of your favourite patterns

Maybe there's something that I haven't found yet that I should
try.  I'm always it for
