There are only a few days left until fall arrives, and its approach is already starting to show. The heat is easing, the nights are getting cooler, and in some regions the rain and cold have already begun creeping in. So let’s start getting the wardrobe ready. Today we’re gathering some sewing tutorials for transitional weather that will be very useful. But don’t wait too long to get started, or winter will catch up with you ;)
Instead of “suffering through” the drop in temperature and saying goodbye to summer, celebrate it with one of these beautiful garments made with your own hands.
Transitional-weather sewing for women and kids, here we go!
Sewing tutorials for transitional weather:women and children
Buttonless knit jacket
An essential basic for any wardrobe. This jacket has everything we like: it’s comfortable, versatile enough to combine with lots of looks, highly customizable, and incredibly cute. In this tutorial, Laura teaches you how to make a basic version and gives you lots of ideas for modifying it according to your tastes and needs: longer, shorter, lighter, heavier…
Ideally, have a couple in different colors to mix and match. Since it’s lightweight and takes up very little space when folded, it’s perfect for carrying in your bag just in case.

Leggings for women and children
Leggings (or tights, as we called them before English loanwords took over) are one of humanity’s greatest inventions (:P). A garment that is so comfortable, goes with everything, allows complete freedom of movement, and can be worn in any season. That’s why you’ll get so much use out of this tutorial.
And you can make lots of different leggings not only for yourself, but also for your kids. Among the patterns, you can even find one for babies who still wear diapers.
Here’s the link to the leggings tutorial.
