Free Sewing Patterns Inspired by Anthropologie
Рет қаралды 18,994
5 ай бұрынI am chuffed to be a part of the vlogging team for the Sew Frugal 2024 challenge this year! A big shout out to Ruan @theyorkshiresewgirl and Sam @Frugalisama for bringing back this challenge for the 4th year! Sam is also posting her video today as well so go over and watch her inspiration.
My approach to this challenge is to look at RTW items that I love and to find free patterns based on those items. I thought I would stick to one brand so I went over to one of my favorites, Anthropology, and started scrolling!
Here is what I found...
The look: Othilia Quilted Patchwork Hoodie from Anthropologie
The pattern: The Regular Hoodie by Glory Allen (pdf pattern is free) www.gloryallan.com/products/r...
The fabric: Minerva Core Range Medium Loop Back French Terry with many jersey scraps!
The look: The Malika Gauze Jumpsuit from Anthropologie
The pattern: The Sunday Morning Jumper by Mood Sewciety www.moodfabrics.com/blog/luxe...
The fabric: Green double gauze I got from Joann's
The look: Long-Sleeve Polo Sweater Mini Dress by Anthropologie
The pattern: Aspen Polo Shirt by Do It Yourself For Free
www.doiturselfforfree.com/asp...
The fabric: Minerva Core Range Baby Soft Pointelle Jersey
The look: The Sidney Batwing Blouse by Anthropologie
The pattern: The Flora Blouse by Mood Sewciety www.moodfabrics.com/blog/the-...
The fabric: Green Fade Away Lightweight Polyester Crepe by Mood Fabrics
The look: Tapestry Corset by Anthropologie
The pattern: draft it yourself bustier by Sparrow Refashion sparrowrefashion.com/2024/01/...

The fabric: a sample piece of upholstery fabric that I got from a friend!

So fun to find your channel Valerie. Another thing I love about Sew Frugal whichever year. Love the quilted sleeves on the hoodie idea and love that you chose Anthropology for your inspiration. Can't wait to see what you make. I have probably close to 100 free patterns from watching Sew Frugal over the past three years. xx Karen

I have 2 pairs of sweatpants that don't fit that I have been brainstorming on how to make into a jumper or dress. I don't want to buy more fabric but the idea of incorporating quilted fabric is the perfect solution. I love Anthropology too.

@@what_valerie_makes I'm thinking do up the patchwork for the shoulders, quilt them onto the sweatshirt, the fleece acting as wadding and backing, measure armscye stitiching line and true up with sleeve. The quilted sleeve cap won't ease so a little planning ahead should save aggravation. Then hand stitch a binding on the seam allowance to make the inside look finished. And I showed the corset to my daughter-She iiked the sweatshirt more....
