Welcome to #9 of the Holiday Dailies: Trends to Sew.
We had a bit of a hiatus there with the weekend and the arrival of Marie-Grace, now Liv Brooks, and then another weekend, and stuff.
We have another ad that we ripped out of Seventeen magazine for your perusal. ;-)
WARNING: Lots of pictures!
Today's Trends to Sew Top Tip: Go to clothing stores, hit the sale sections, and buy XXLs or bigger. Then just cut up all those human clothes to make doll clothes.
Don't stay in the women's and junior's sections. Hit the children's, the men's, whatever is on sale and clearance -- human clothing is where you find the most affordable and most trendy fabrics.
We've said this before, but we should probably say it 3,000 more times.
Deconstruct human clothing to get great fabrics for doll clothing!!!
____ Native American Patterned Sweater
This is a PacSun thang.
And here is the new GOTY 2013 Saige sporting the PacSun look.
Who would have guessed that AG would be trendy?
Or maybe that was an accident?
Probably an accident.
The rest of Saige's clothes are well.... they need help.

PacSun Sweater Examples:
_____Denim Vest with Shearling Lining
So. cute.
____ Shredded Light Wash Jeans
Liberty Jane's post on how to distress denim:
Lots of tutorial videos on there.
Involves sharp objects -- so be careful!
_____ Upholstered/Tapestry/Cloth cowboy boots
From PacSun
From Zappos
We have seen this in duck boots as well.
REI and Zappos.
Not sure about the creation logistics of this one, but if someone can pull it off --
that is awesomeness.
Check out Liberty Jane Patterns for boots patterns in many shapes and styles.
_____Slouchy knit hat
Patterns:
We have this one in purple.
It is complete coolness and we love it.
_____ Black Moto Jacket
Pacsun's knit moto jacket -- you don't have to do leathers, pleathers, suedes.
Be creative!
Try it in peach -- again, a popular color that we've mentioned 600 times....
They also offer one with lace overlay and sleeves

_____ Flirty Dress with Lace Accents
Lovely for layering over leggings, tights, long-sleeve shirts, with jackets and cardis.
_____ Lace Shirt
PacSun has a lot of lace shirt and tank options, but these are two of their long-sleeve offerings.
Beautiful stuff. Allows for a lot of layering creativity.
Though, the girl needs longer skirts....
____Knee-High Socks with Booties
No extra pics for this one. Mostly a hint for those of you offering whole outfits in your shops or styling outfits at home. Looks cute with shorter dresses and skirts.
Stay tuned for Three More Trends to Sew this month!
