If you’re in the mood to start something new, this latest batch of sewing patterns might be just the nudge you need. We’ve added a mix of dresses, everyday staples and practical outer layers. These are the sort of patterns you can come back to again and again, whether you’re sewing for work, weekends or something in between.
From relaxed wraps and wardrobe-building shirts to jeans, coats and comfy layers, there’s plenty here to get ideas ticking over. Here’s a closer look at what’s just arrived.
Easy Dresses With a Twist
The Kajo Batwing Wrap Sweater & Dress from Named is a great option if you like pieces that feel relaxed but still pulled together. The batwing shape gives you comfort without looking oversized, while the wrap detail adds interest and shape. It works just as well sewn up as a cosy sweater as it does as a dress, making it a versatile pattern for cooler months or those in-between seasons.
This one pairs beautifully with stable knits, ponte, or softer woven fabrics if you’re leaning towards the dress version.
Denim Projects Worth the Effort
Denim sewers are well catered for with a few strong additions. The Tommie Jeans Skirt from Style Arc is a modern take on a classic, with clean lines and a flattering shape. It’s a brilliant alternative if you love sewing jeans but fancy something a little quicker (and slightly less hardware-heavy).
For those who prefer trousers, the Men’s Jeans #1 pattern from Wardrobe By Me offers a solid, well-drafted base for classic denim jeans. Thoughtful details and a clear construction order make it a satisfying project, whether it’s your first pair or your tenth.

Shirts and Everyday Staples
The Archer Shirt from Grainline Studio has earned its reputation as a reliable wardrobe staple. It’s a timeless button-up that works across seasons and fabrics, from crisp cotton poplin to softer chambrays and linens. If you’re looking for a pattern you’ll revisit often, this is one that really earns its keep.
If comfort is top of your list, the Easy Pants pattern from Wardrobe By Me lives up to its name. Designed for relaxed, everyday wear, it’s the sort of pattern you can quickly sew up and then make again in different fabrics once you know it fits.

Skirts, Layers and Useful Extras
The Good Times Skirt from Maven is a lovely balance of wearable and interesting. With options that suit different lengths and styles, it’s easy to adapt to your own taste. It’s also a great way to use statement fabrics without committing to a full outfit.
Layering pieces are well covered too. The Unisex Zipper Hoodie from Wardrobe By Me is practical, straightforward and ideal for everyday wear. Meanwhile, the Car Coat offers a clean, unfussy outer layer that works across seasons depending on fabric choice.
Rounding things off is the Arlo Track Jacket from Friday Pattern Company, a relaxed sporty layer that feels right on trend without being overly technical. It’s a fun sew and a great way to play with colour blocking or texture.
