Pattern Review: Joggers by Patterns for Pirates

Full View of Joggers

I recently got to test the Baby Bear Joggers pattern from Patterns for Pirates.  Here in SWFL, we don’t have much need for warm clothes, but there are usually a couple weeks a year where we might want pants.  Since we’re from PA, my kids love cooler days when they can wear their favorite winter clothes.  As they’ve grown, they’ve requested new warm clothes.  Usually one or two pairs of pants and two or three long sleeve shirts are more than plenty!  P4P Joggers was perfect for making a new pair of cool weather pants.  My son calls them “warm pants” because I made them out of cotton fleece so it’s only fuzzy on the inside.

These are a slimmer fit pant and as always there are plenty of options – two pocket options, two waistband options, and three hem options.

Slat Pockets on Joggers

I made the slat pockets, or there are also patch pockets.  The waistband is elastic and there is also a yoga band option.

I did a roll-up hem, because no hemming!  There’s also the options for an elastic hem or a cuffed hem.

Since shorts are what we wear most of the time, I made some Jogger shorts too.  These are the patch pockets and I added the red strip down the side (it’s just a 3″ strip sewn over the side seam).

I was a tester for the Rowan Raglan by Made for Mermaids.  Normally her patterns are for girls only.  This one though is unisex!  As with all raglans, it is a quick and easy sew.  The basic shirt is perfect for beginning sewers!Rowan Raglans for girls AND boys!

It comes with a variety of options.  Hood – lined or unlined.

Short sleeves (perfect for Florida), 3/4 sleeves, and long sleeves.

I color blocked this one to make a panda shirt for my little panda lover.

For the girls there’s more options – sleeve flutters, tunic ruffle, skirt ruffle, and tunic band.

The pattern has layers so you only have to print the pages and size you need.  Everything is explained clearly and there are plenty of pictures to go along with the directions as well as finished items for inspiration.

It’s on sale for $7 (normally $9) until Saturday 8/20 midnight cst.  Hurry to Made for Mermaids to get your copy.  Then come back and tell me what you made!

Ninja panels were purchased from PeekABoo Fabric Shop.
