Scroop Patterns

Te Aro Dress & Top
The Te Aro is a versatile dress and top designed for midweight knits with mix-and-match sleeves, necklines, hem finishes, and hood options. View A features long sleeves with cuff bands, a hem band, side pockets, and an oversized hood. View B is top length with curved hem, side slits, short sleeves, and a scooped neck. View C has gathered sleeves in lightweight woven fabrics, a drop hem, pockets, and a shallow scooped neck.

Hope all of you up north are managing to keep warm in the crazy weather you’re having! If you need a snowbound sewing project may I recommend the Te Aro dress & top as a quick, easy, fun make that is also delightful for snuggling in in bad weather. #scrooppatterns #scrooptearo #sewingknits #sewingwithknits #yesithaspockets

Chilly Saturday, perfect for cuddling up in a Te Aro dress with a lap cat and a good book. Why do things with hoods always feel cozier than standard necklines? It would also be the perfect day to make a Te Aro. They are such a good single-afternoon project. A couple of hours and you can go from fabric to dress #scrooppatterns #scrooptearo #sewingwithknits #indiepatterns #indiesewingpatterns

It’s a cold rainy day in Wellington so I’m snuggling up in a Te Aro dress. Cozy, comfy, and excellent pockets! What’s not to love! #scrooppatterns #scrooptearo #sewingwithknits #memadeeveryday

Two different takes of the Te Aro pattern. . Elisabeth is casual in View A in black and white stripes, with fuchsia bindings. . Danielle is more dressed up in View C in purple double knit with statement sleeves in a fabulous viscose chiffon with a William Morris print of rabbits and doves. . I usually make my model samples for the models: they get input into the view they want most, and help me choose fabrics. And then they keep the garments. Both Eli and Dani have told me how much they love their Te Aros, and how they get compliments whenever they wear them. The absolute best feeling as a maker! 💖 . . . . #scrooppatterns #scrooptearo #sewingknits #indiepatternmaker #memadewardrobe #sewyourownclothes #sewyourownwardrobe #sewingwithknits #sewing #indiepatterndesigner #sewingpatterns #sewingpatterndesigner #sewyourown #indiesewing #indiepatterns

Detail of the fun effect you can achieve with stripes on the Te Aro Dress & Top.⠀ ⠀ It's been ridiculously hot in Wellington for the last week, and I'm wishing I had a dozen easy, breezy Te Aro tops to wear! ⠀ ⠀ This version modelled by the beautiful @sew.stoked 💙⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #scrooppatterns #scrooptearo #indiesewingpatterns #sewingwithknits

This is officially the cutest thing that has even been done with a Scroop Pattern. @dismara made a #scrooptearo in beautiful floral knit with contrasting pink sleeves, and made Marshmallow a matching one! 😻⠀ .⠀ Felicity is officially jealous that someone has beaten her in the adorableness stakes!⠀😼 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #scrooppatterns #sewingpattern #sewingwithknits #memadeeveryday #sewyourown

Our wall has been very historically focused lately, so here’s a reminder that there are also Scroop Patterns for your modern wardrobe, like the fun, easy to sew, super cozy Te Aro dress & top #scrooppatterns #scrooptearo #sewingwithknits

Want to know a fun secret about the Te Aro Dress & Top?🤫 The pattern is obviously stealth pyjamas (super comfy but dressed up enough to wear out and about), but it is also stealth #historybounding. 🤩 . How so? The woven sleeves of View C are based on 17th & 18th century chemises & shirts, and the pocket shape is taken directly from 18th century pockets! . I also looked at 1920s pattern drafting books when drafting the cocoon silhouette and the curved hem of View C. . . . . #scrooppatterns #scrooptearo #sewingknits #newpattern #patternlaunch #patternsale #memadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewing #sewingfun #sewinglove #indiepatterndesigner #sewists #patterndesigner #patterndesign #sewingpatterns #sewingpatterndesigner #sewcialists #isew #ilovesewing #sewinclusive #sewingblogger #indiesewing #indiepatterns #memade

After a week of 'All Ettie Petticoat all the time' here's a totally different pattern mood! NZ is currently in lockdown, and it's late winter, so my life is all about cozy clothes that still look professional on zoom calls. So basically it's 'All Te Aro dresses all the time'. I think I might sew myself another one tonight. It would be a nice refresher from zoom meetings, and you can make one of these up in only a couple of hours. This pattern is a great introduction to sewing with knits if you've never tackled them before. #scrooppatterns #scrooptearo #sewingwithknits #lockdownsewing #indiesewingpatterns #sizeinclusivesewingpatterns

The Te Aro: one pattern, two totally different looks. Make it glamorous in dress length with statement sleeves, or cozy and casual as a relaxed top. Either way it's a very quick make, with some lovely finishing details. #scrooppatterns #scrooptearo #sewingwithknits #sewyourownwardrobe #sewyourownslowfashion

Happy birthday to the Te Aro dress and top, which is 1 years old today!⠀ ⠀ To celebrate the pattern's first anniversary, the Te Aro is 25% off for the next 24 hours! ⠀ ⠀ This fabulous pattern for knit fabric comes with three views, all with mix and match neckline, sleeve, and hemline options. ⠀ ⠀ It's been my wardrobe staple for the last year. I'm just about to make a couple of versions with the View B sleeves and neckline, and View C hem, to be easy to wear dresses as the weather warms up.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #scrooppatterns #scrooptearo #patternsale #sizeinclusivesewingpatterns #sewingknits ⠀ ⠀

Chilly autumn days call for the Te Aro dress 🍂⠀ ⠀ This is View A - a cozy cocoon dress with long sleeves, a fabulously large hood, matching cuff and hems bands, and topstitched pockets with curved pocket openings. ⠀ .⠀ The dropped shoulders make it particularly fun in stripes, and the bands and hood lining give you lots of opportunities to play with contrast fabrics.⠀ .⠀ Plus, you can mix and match with the necklines from the other views for a non-hooded version.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #scrooppatterns #scrooptearo #sewingknits #memadewardrobe #memadeeveryday #sewing #sewingfun #sewinglove #indiepatterndesigner #sewists #patterndesigner #patterndesign #sewingpatterns #sewingpatterndesigner #sewcialists #isew #ilovesewing #sewinclusive #indiesewing #indiepatterns

My plan for the next two weeks? Curling up on the couch in a Te Aro dress doing some hand sewing. Sitting at my computer in a Te Aro dress working on the next Scroop Pattern. Throwing on a Te Aro top to go for a couple of hikes. Making more Te Aros because I want to live in them non-stop.⠀ ⠀ Basically it's going to be all-day Te Aro-ness until I go back to work! This pattern is so comfy 🧸💛 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #scrooppatterns #scrooptearo #sewingknits #sewingpatterns #Indiesewingpatterns

We 💛 pockets! Most of the modern wardrobe Scroop Patterns feature pockets (big ones too!), and those that don't, like the Fantail Skirt, have tutorial hacks to add them. The pockets on the Te Aro Dress & Top feature clever construction and a subtle nod to historicism: their shape is based on 18th century bag pockets! #scrooppatterns #yesithaspockets #scrooptearo #sewingwithknits #knitpattern

Yesterday I showed the office-friendly version of the Te Aro pattern.

It’s sweater weather! I got to pattern test this amazing #scrooptearo sweatshirt pattern from @scrooppatterns months ago and haven’t posted yet😬 It’s just the right shape for maximum comfiness with some cute details so you can look pulled together while being cozy 😍 Now I’m deciding when I get to make another one.

A detail of the rather fabulous sleeves of View C of the Te Aro dress and top pattern. ⠀ .⠀ The sleeves are the perfect showcase for a special fabric - this version uses a gorgeous viscose chiffon with a William Morris print of rabbits and doves.

Finally the temperatures have dropped so I can wear my #scrooptearo 🥰 In August I have been lucky enough to be chosen to test this pattern, and I can assure you that it is a joy to sew and wear. Sewing it was really easy, the clear instructions give you lots of info and never leave you alone! I already know that I will wear this dress a lot in the upcoming months, it is perfect for when you want to be comfy and also look dressed-up 🤭 #scrooppatterns #patterntest #indiepatterns #sewing #adelier
