The holidays are going to be different this year. If you’re staying home, you probably won’t need fancy party outfits, but it still might feel like a letdown to lounge around in the same old thing you’ve been wearing every day.<\/p>\n

That’s where Liesl + Co. comes in.<\/p>\n

We’ve brainstormed some fun, easy and festive fabric\/pattern combinations that you can sew in time for the holidays. This is the year to make your staying-at-home clothes just as fun as your going-out clothes!<\/p>\n

Psst … if this idea appeals to you, stay tuned for our new Liesl + Co. patterns<\/strong>, coming to you on\u00a0Monday<\/strong>!\u00a0Some of them are also perfect for a relaxed holiday at home.<\/em><\/p>\n

The key to glamming up casual patterns is in the fabric: think velvet and sequins. Here are some simple silhouettes in glitzy material that could be made using Liesl + Co. patterns.<\/p>\n

\"Festive<\/a><\/p>\n

Clockwise from top left:<\/p>\n

1: This fun Mini Boden raglan sweatshirt could be made up with the Neighborhood Sweatshirt<\/a> pattern (or the Field Trip Raglan<\/a> for your little one!).<\/p>\n

2: A baseball tee like this one with stretch velvet accents is another great idea for the Neighborhood Sweatshirt<\/a>\u00a0or the Field Trip Raglan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3, 4 and 5: This boxy silhouette is similar to the Bento Tee<\/a>. And we even have a tutorial for a keyhole back\u00a0here<\/a>. (Garments from Banana Republic, Free People, Anthropologie)<\/p>\n

6: Another fun raglan hack here. This one has cuffs too, which would be fun in a contrast fabric. (Habitual)<\/p>\n

7: I love the deep V in the back of this Shein top, which could be made using any of our knit top patterns, including the Metro T-Shir<\/a>t. Just draw the shape you want on the back neckline and finish the whole neckline with a facing instead of a band.<\/p>\n

8: Widen the sleeves from the bottom to match this silhouette from Express with any of our knit top patterns. Sew in sequins for glittery loungewear.<\/p>\n

We also have some ideas for bottoms.<\/p>\n

\"Festive<\/a><\/p>\n

Clockwise from left to right: 1. Eloquii; 2. Ann Taylor; 3. Eloquii; 4. Loft; 5. Cupcakes and Cashmere; 6. Loft; 7. Sundance Catalog; 8. Loft.<\/em><\/p>\n

I love these ideas for the Montauk Trousers<\/a> and the Kensington Knit Skirt<\/a>. The Montauk pattern doesn’t have an elasticized hem, but that’s an easy adjustment. Stretch velvet lounge pants sound pretty amazing to me, actually!<\/p>\n

What about you? What are your holiday plans?<\/p>\n

Happy Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
