Our guide to help you find the perfect costume to sew for yourself and everyone in your family.
We have set out a few themes below, some with patterns for women, men, and children to fit those ideas. So, if you like, your whole family (or friend group) can dress up together!
Ren Flair
123 Austrian Dirndl – a classic Renaissance outfit, or for an Oktoberfest beer maiden
108 Turkish Dancer – gorgeous flowing sleeves with a vest – perfect made from tissue silk
So many of our patterns can be made into fabulous Steampunk costumes. A great fabric choice, then add your own flair to finish the following, and you'll be set!
This is an easy costume – a western shirt (212 or 218) with jeans and cowboy boots. But, if you want it a little more involved, try the Big Sky Riding Skirt or add some fringe to the Rodeo Cowgirls Jacket and Skirt. So fun!
Harkening back to Celtic Britain, these patterns would be perfect in natural colors and fibers, or with nature themed fabric – eco-printed silk or wool, or naturally dyed muslin, or beautiful tweed.

I loved my Kinsale cloak and wore it for years… until the moths decided to love it, too. :(
