I am always on the lookout for new
designers that make patterns for tween sizes and most of these I find
through blogs. But, I have noticed that there are a few pattern
designers that have stores on etsy.com.
I am a big fan of etsy and buy most of
my gifts from there. I love how it is all small independent
businesses. So, I thought it would be great to go on etsy and do a
search for children’s sewing patterns. Here are my favorites of
what I found:
Sally actually found this shop, Blaverry and sent me the link. We both really liked her style but most of the clothes are for girls. But this jacket could be easily made for a boy with the right fabric choices.
Livi Stitches Patterns is a pdf. pattern vendor that has a lot of ruffly cuteness that is more geared for younger girls. But, she does carry some patterns that are both sized and designed so that a tween could enjoy them. For example, here is a cute basic skirt with color blocking opportunities.
OK, this one only goes to size 10,
which is not a tween pattern. But the dress is so beautiful, I had
to share it. Maybe one of our readers can get some use out of it.
It is by My Childhood Treasures.
Felicity Patterns have modern style
patterns for both boys and girls. The sizes run up to size 12, so a
smaller tween can fit these. I like this shirt as an alternative to T-shirt for a boy but it is not so dressy as to make him feel constrained.
The Scientific Seamstress has some
tween patterns too!
There is an etsy shop called Fishsticks Designs and this designer not only has a lot of tween patterns, she has a lot of BOY tween patterns. Many of them are great basics that you could use to make to fit your boy's unique or notso unique style.
For more of a modern, urban style, you may want to check out Heidi and Finn patterns. Here is her Urban Unisex Hoodie pattern.
What are your favorite etsy shops for patterns?
