2021 Holiday Freebies :: Claire Wrap

Happy Holidays, Pirate Friends!  We are excitedly back for another year and another round of holiday freebies to share with you!  Over the years, we’ve compiled different tutorials and patterns that we think would make *perfect* gifts for your friends and family. Curious about what we’ve already released in the way of holiday freebies? Head right here to see all of them: Holiday Freebies Roundup.

Today, we are bringing you the: Claire Wrap!

This wrap is inspired by no other than Claire Fraser from the show Outlander. I’ve not personally seen the show, but I have plenty of people in my life that watch it religiously. I saw a wrap Claire was wearing in an image from the show and felt like it’d be such a great accessory to have for myself!

As there are four sizes, it felt right to name them like this. 😉

Supplies Needed:

**A wide range of knit fabrics can be used for this. I recommend something with a little bit of stretch, so when it’s being worn over the shoulder it moves more easily with you.

TUTORIAL

  • With right sides together, sew along edge of main pieces.
  • Fold strap, right sides together, matching along the long ends. Sew along one short side and raw long side.
  • Using your favorite turning tool, turn straps right side out.
  • Repeat with second strap.
  • Align strap, with right sides together, in center top corner of main piece. Sew.
  • Flip strap towards wrong side of main piece. Hem top and edges of wrap, using 1/2″ hem allowance. You’re finished!

In case you consider yourself a more “visual learner” here’s a video tutorial that walks you through the entire tutorial, start-to-finish.

Check out what our fabulous testers were able to create with this very same tutorial!

The best part about this wrap is that it can be worn SO MANY different ways!

Who doesn’t love a quick and easy (and comfy) knit hat?? It’s a perfect go-to for the cooler months, and this hat is actually an incredible basic — I have so many ideas for how to dress it up! All seams end up fully enclosed, so it’s actually reversible too! Grab your favorite combo of fabrics and you’ll get 2-in-1 hats from this sweet little pattern!

Supplies Needed:

**if using a thicker fleece / fun fur for the lining, I’d recommend sizing up!

TUTORIAL

  • Step 1: Place back piece, right sides up.
  • Step 2: With right sides facing each other, place the front piece on top, aligning long curved side edges.
  • Step 3: Stitch, using 1/2″ seam allowance.
  • Step 4: Open hat in opposite direction, matching the seams you just created at the top.
  • Step 5: Sew the opening shut, using 1/2″ seam allowance.
  • Repeat Steps 1-5 with lining fabric.
  • Step 6: Place hat lining wrong sides out, and with main hat right sides out, slide the main hat inside of the lining.
  • Step 7: Align all raw edges and sew using 1/2″ seam allowance. Leave 3-4″ opening for turning.
  • Step 8: Turn hat right sides out.
  • Step 9: Push lining fabric inside of main hat. Edge stitch along entire bottom of hat.
  • You’re finished!
  • And it’s reversible!

2021 Holiday Freebies :: Shiver Me Slipper Socks

Happy Holidays, Pirate Friends!  We are excitedly back for another year and another round of holiday freebies to share with you!  Over the years, we’ve compiled different tutorials and patterns that we think would make *perfect* gifts for your friends and family. Curious about what we’ve already released in the way of holiday freebies? Head right here to see all of them: Holiday Freebies Roundup.

Today, we are bringing you the: Shiver Me Slipper Socks!

My feet are ALWAYS cold in the winter. And big, fluffy slipper socks are pretty much my favorite thing ever to help combat the cold. It’s been on my list to make this pattern for a couple of years now and I’m super excited to be officially bringing them to y’all!

Supplies Needed:

TUTORIAL

  • Fold one of the main Sock pieces in half, with right sides together. Using 1/2″ seam allowance, stitch along the curve.
  • Open the sock up to create a straight line with the seam you just created in the center of that line.
  • With right sides facing down, place the toe piece on top, matching along that straight edge. Sew using 1/2″ seam allowance.
  • Mark toe front and heel back with pins/clips.
  • With right sides facing each other, place the sole piece on top, aligning the front and back markings.
  • Pin/clip pieces together, carefully easing the curves into one another. Using 1/2″ seam allowance, sew around entire outer edge.
  • Repeat with lining fabric.
  • Flip the main boot right sides out, keeping the lining piece with wrong sides facing outward, then stuff the main boot inside of the lining.
  • This will allow them to have right sides of the fabric facing each other.
  • Align the raw edges along the top. Sew, using 1/2″ seam allowance, while keeping a 3-4″ opening for turning.
  • Turn fabric right sides out through the opening you left.
  • Push the lining fabric into the main fabric.
  • Either by using a blind stitch in the opening, or top stitching around the entire upper edge, sew the opening shut.
  • Complete all steps for second slipper. You’re finished!

I left enough height on these slippers so you can wear them folded, for a cute cuffed look, or unfolded for a taller sock. Your choice! I’m excited to see what you prefer!

2021 Holiday Freebies :: Scrunchie Crown

Happy Holidays, Pirate Friends!  We are excitedly back for another year and another round of holiday freebies to share with you!  Over the years, we’ve compiled different tutorials and patterns that we think would make *perfect* gifts for your friends and family. Curious about what we’ve already released in the way of holiday freebies? Head right here to see all of them: Holiday Freebies Roundup.

Today, we are bringing you the: Scrunchie Crown!

The Scrunchie Crown will having you feel like royalty in no time at all. At it’s most basic form, it’s a headband. At it’s Pirate form, it’s a gorgeous crown-like headband that is super fun to wear (and can also double as a standard oversized scrunchie for buns).

Supplies Needed:

TUTORIAL

  • Step 1: Fold the top headband piece, with right sides together, meeting the long edge. Sew using 1/2″ seam allowance.
  • Step 2: Repeat with the bottom headband piece, folding with right sides together, meeting the long edge. Sew using 1/2″ seam allowance.
  • Step 3: Turn right sides out.
  • Step 4: Using your favorite elastic threading tool, add your elastic in the top and bottom headband pieces.
  • The fabric is a lot longer than the elastic. It’s easiest to first pin / clip the fabric to the elastic ends before basting. Be sure not to twist your fabric while adding the elastic in the tubes.
  • For both pieces, you’ll want to align the elastic with the seam centered on it.
  • Step 5: Baste the fabric to the elastic on both pieces.
  • Step 6: Place your top headband piece on the table, with right sides facing you (aka, the seam should be on the table right now).
  • Step 7: Aligning the raw edges, place the bottom headband piece on top, with wrong sides facing you. (This will allow for both right sides of the top + bottom to be facing one another.)
  • Step 8: Fold the excess fabric from the top headband piece around the bottom headband.
  • Your bottom headband will be completely encased by the top headband at this point.
  • Step 9: Using 1/2″ seam allowance, sew along raw edge.
  • Step 10: Without cutting through your stitches, clip off excess fabric and elastic ends.
  • Step 11: Pull to flip fabric right sides out. The top headband piece will fold and hide your seams. Repeat Steps 6-11 on other side of headband pieces.
  • You’re finished!!

Curious about what we’ve already released in the way of holiday freebies? Head right here to see all of them: Holiday Freebies Roundup.

Today, we are bringing you the: Fingerless Gloves!

The Fingerless Gloves are a perfect accessory for cold and cooler weather months! They can be useful for outdoor adventures, or perfect for a little extra hand warmth while still allowing for some mobility indoors.

How to measure hand circumference: Using a flexible tape, measure around the palm of your dominant hand, just below the knuckles, excluding the thumb.

**Most knits will work for this pattern. You just really want something with good recovery, so it doesn’t stretch out while in use. No one wants a saggy glove!

Supplies Needed:

TUTORIAL

  • Step 1: Press angled edge of glove top 1/2″ toward wrong side. Top stitch.
  • Step 2: Place glove top pieces, right sides together.
  • Step 3: Sew along short, side edge.
  • Step 4: Press angled edge of glove bottom 1/2″ toward wrong side. Top stitch.
  • Step 5: Place glove bottom pieces, right sides together.
  • Step 6: Sew along curved edge, using 1/2″ seam allowance.
  • Step 7: Place glove side piece, with right side facing up.
  • Step 8: With right sides facing down, place top glove piece on top, aligning the top corner points on each piece.
  • Step 9: Now place bottom glove piece on top, aligning the bottom corner points with the rectangular side piece. Sew along edge, using 1/2″ seam allowance.
  • Step 10: Repeat on opposite side.
  • Step 11: Press raw bottom and top edges to wrong side and hem using 1/2″ hem allowance.
  • Repeat steps 1-11 with second glove. Flip gloves right sides out.

You’re finished! Go wear your new Fingerless and then make 10 more. You know you want to!

**hint, hint. They’d make AMAZING gifts for teachers.
