winter clothes instructions / patterns online?

[autumnbloom]

I'm getting ready to finish up my kids' winter clothes (its still warm here so we have a little time using what we already have)

I am going to be sewing up their pajama pants today

and will probably make a few cozier pants using a similar pattern to wear around the house.

I am looking for a good pattern or good general instructions for long sleeved shirts, cute winter dresses/skirts, etc.

I have a bunch of patterns already in my pattern stash but to be honest, i HATE using regular patterns Maybe i should just get over that and use them lol

anything you gals can share would be wonderful~!

I don't have any help for you - but I like the pattern you linked! What a fun use of an old t-shirt!

i made a twirly skirt for my youngest today too - and it was SO EASY. I am going to make a bunch more, and may make the skirts the primary thing for their winter wear with only a few pairs of pants and one or two pretty dresses for special occassions.

I know this thread is a few weeks old, but I thought it might not be too late for you to enjoy this site:

The directions are not too explanatory, but there is enough info to get the job done, and learn a lot on the way! I've made a few alterations to her suggestions and made some great kimono style long sleeved tunics from recycled sweaters. Theres also a nice hoodie pattern, pants w/ footies and hats and mittens... I was so excited to find this site ( from a previous posters reccommendation) it has been a big inspiration to me!

Have fun and stay warm!

I love this site! I went to goodwill and found a charcoal 100% lambswool sweater that I will be making into a jumper for my 2 month old using that pattern.
