My Favorite DIY Travel Outfit

Hello sew-friends! If you've been following me for a while, then you might know that besides sewing, one of my biggest passions is travel. I love exploring new places, seeing new things and experiencing different cultures. Like many travelers, I also love planning for a trip and want to be as prepared as possible.

A big part of feeling prepared is having a wardrobe that works with the weather, adapts to different temperatures and is comfortable. My main goals when packing for travel are comfort, style and versatility. If I can make my garments myself, all the better—mostly because when I sew for myself my clothing fits better which means I feel more comfortable. In this post, I’m sharing two garments that I made last year have become go-to travel garments, specifically for my plane outfit. (Everyone has a specific "plane outfit" right?)

Today I have a new video tutorial to share with you. I recently drafted a cardigan sewing pattern and while sewing it, I filmed the whole process. This is a super cozy cardigan made from a thick rib knit fabric. In the video, I show the step-by-step process of sewing this cardigan as well as some tips for handling a thick knit fabric.
