There’s something special about fall sewing — the textures get softer, the colors richer, and every project feels like a little act of self-care. This season, I’m all about co-ords — those effortlessly stylish matching sets that make you feel both cozy and confident.
Whether you’re lounging at home, heading out for errands, or planning a stylish night out, these six co-ord sewing patterns have you covered. From chic knits to dressy wovens, they’re the perfect balance of comfort and style.
So, grab your favorite fall fabrics and let’s dive into my top six cozy co-ord picks!
1. Simplicity 8982 — The Ultimate Fall Knit Set
Simplicity 8982 is the definition of cozy versatility. This pattern includes a top and skirt co-ord set as well as a dress option — all designed for knit fabrics that move beautifully and feel soft against the skin.
It’s the kind of set you can wear anywhere: brunch with friends, a coffee date, or a casual office day. The knit fabric makes it comfortable, while the silhouette keeps it sleek and modern.
Try this: Sew it up in a rib knit, sweater knit, or soft ponte in warm caramel or deep plum tones for a perfect fall look.
2. McCall’s 8351 — The Comfy-On-The-Go Lounge Set
Running errands has never looked this good. McCall’s 8351 is a two-piece lounge set with a hood — designed for cozy knit fabrics that stretch and move with you.
Think of it as the “cute athleisure” pattern you’ll want to live in all season. It’s casual enough for the weekend but still put-together enough to grab a pumpkin spice latte without feeling underdressed.
Fabric idea: Try a brushed fleece or French terry for ultimate comfort and warmth.
3. Simplicity 9379 — The Easy, Everyday Co-Ord
If you’re new to sewing knits or just want a quick, satisfying project, Simplicity 9379 is a great choice. This two-piece casual knit pattern includes multiple views, giving you tons of options for your perfect fall co-ord.
The design is simple but stylish — think relaxed tops and easy-fit pants that look great in soft jerseys or rib knits. It’s beginner-friendly and endlessly wearable.
Style tip: Go monochrome for a chic minimalist vibe, or mix subtle prints for a fun, cozy look.
4. New Look 6582 — The Dressy Co-Ord for a Night Out
For those moments when you want to feel dressed up but still comfortable, New Look 6582 is your pattern. This woven co-ord set features a top and pants that strike the perfect balance between polished and effortless.
It’s the ideal outfit for a night out, a gallery visit, or even a chic dinner date. The structured woven fabric gives it an elevated feel that looks amazing in jewel tones or rich prints.
Fabric tip: Go for crepe, lightweight twill, or a soft satin to give it that “evening ready” flow.
5. Simplicity 8924 — The Effortlessly Chic Layered Look
If you love variety, Simplicity 8924 is a dream. This pattern offers a sweater, cami, tunic, and elastic-waist pants with a cuff — basically an entire cozy capsule in one envelope.
The layering possibilities are endless. Wear the cami under the tunic, pair the sweater with the cuffed pants, or mix and match with your other handmade pieces for easy, elevated style.
Style inspiration: Use neutral tones and soft knits for a minimalist fall vibe, or mix textures like ribbed and brushed knits for extra depth.
6. Butterick 7013 — A Fall Capsule Wardrobe in One Pattern
Butterick 7013 truly gives you everything you need for a cohesive fall wardrobe. This knit pattern includes pieces for a turtleneck, skirt, pants, and an over sweater — all of which can be mixed and matched endlessly.
It’s the ultimate “sew it once, wear it ten ways” pattern. Choose a warm color palette — like chestnut, olive, and cream — and you’ll have a full rotation of cozy looks ready for any day of the week.
Fabric idea: Ponte knit or double knit will give your pieces structure while keeping that comfortable stretch.
