Do you love to make holiday gifts for friends and family? The WearEver Wrap is an easy-to-sew shrug pattern for EVERY one, for EVERY season and for EVERY occasion!
For an elegant outing, this pattern can be a perfect companion to a sleeve dress and is a fun accessory to wear to a party or wedding. Pick a fun color of Luxe Cuddle® and sew up a WearEver Wrap for the holidays — whether you're attending a cocktail party or cozying up on the couch, the WearEver Wrap will keep you warm!
I recommend to start by first watching the video above to see a few fabric options, including the double gauze version I am wearing. For a look inside the pattern, watch this video.
This pattern offers tips and techniques for sewing with polar fleece, batiks, double gauze, knits and yarn dyed wovens, as well as the Luxe Cuddle® minky plush fabric you see pictured in this blog. Keep in mind the pattern includes six sizes and three sleeve lengths, and you have the choice of an elastic cuff or to leave the sleeve loose.
When it comes to drawing the elastic through your cuff casing there are several Clover tools I recommend (four videos that showcase these tools are part of the WearEver Wrap Online Bonus Content that is accessible via a QR code inside the pattern). One of my favorites is the Easy Loop Turner you see pictured. It is especially helpful drawing elastic through the casing of thicker fabrics like the Luxe Cuddle® and polar fleece. The Clover Flex ‘n Glide Bodkins work well for lighter-weight fabrics.
