If you like these clothes, and you have them made, these are the sewing patterns you can use to make your own this year. If you've been wanting one of those side tie trousers or wrap skirt pants, you can make your own with the Niki pants by Iggi Patterns. And what's really cool is she has different variations for the pants, so you can make this one with the side tie or this pair that has the side belt with the grommet detail. And on her TikTok page, she talked about how she was able to make a skirt piece out of the belt, so I think that's really cool. It's literally pants straight out of Pinterest, so check that one out. Next are these keyhole tie shirts, which I am obsessed with. I think they're so cute, and you can make your own with the Roxy top by Cherry Hills. I think this style of top is a really good basic, and it's a basic that you can elevate with styling, but also with the fabric that you make it out of. So for example, this satin silky one here, I think is so beautiful. And if you've had your eye on a wrap top, you can use these two patterns to make your own. So the first one is by Sunday School, which I have seen everywhere, and I'm sure you have too. And 2026 is the year that I make my own. But if you prefer more of a high neck style, you can make this one from Alejandra Patterns. And lastly is the Mode Mischief wrap skirt, and I know I'm late to the party on this one, but you can make your own with the Ida skirt by Iggi Patterns. And what's really cool is she has two different length options, so you can make the mid-length one or the mini one, which I think is really cool. So those are my contemporary sewing pattern recommendations, and I consider myself a confident beginner, so I love using sewing patterns. One, they save a lot of time. Two, they always have written instructions, but sometimes they also come with a full-length video tutorial, which is super nice because I'm a visual learner. And three, they just make sewing accessible. So I think that I want to make this a series, because this is why I got into sewing. It was to recreate my Pinterest favorites or make clothes that I can't afford to buy. So I'm always going back and forth between my Pinterest and Etsy, so let me know what you think.
