Sew Stylish Fabric Wraps for all Seasons

All Occasion Fabric Wraps by Mary Mulari as seen on Sewing With Nancy Zieman

Warding off a chill by adding a comfortable and stylish wrap works any time of the year! Fabric choices can take these pattern designs into every season. Sewing expert, Mary Mulari, joins me on Sewing With Nancy for the second episode of All Occasion Fabric Wraps to share how to transform your look in an instant. Watch online, on PBS, or DVD.

Here’s a preview of what you’ll learn

The Aurora Wrap

Choose an elegant fabric to wear when you’re out for the evening or select a knit fabric to make your next wrap to keep at your office for those days when the air conditioning is too cool. There are two ways to sew the Aurora Wrap—Mary and I show you both options.

Reading Wrap

With a book or an e-reader in your hand and this wrap around you, you’re all set for a warm and relaxing reading session. If you prefer a lighter-weight fabric, use the optional cutting line to transform the wrap front into a dressy pocket version.

On Point Wrap

Turn a large square scarf, which you haven’t been wearing anyway, into a flowing coverup to wear for an evening walk or a chill chaser over a sundress. The key to success is to add a faced neckline opening to the scarf—learn how on Sewing With Nancy. Find all the instructions in Mary’s book, plus the neckline patterns.

Two Scarf Wrap

Sometime two identical scarves are just waiting for you to buy, take home, and sew only two seams. As Bobbie Jo can attest, the end wrap is delightful to wear!

Sweatshirt Wrap

This repurposing project makes use of a sweatshirt body and a necktie for a casual cover up. Check closets for sweatshirts and neckties no longer being worn and turn them into a wrap that is perfect for shopping at the Farmer’s Market.

Two-Button Wrap

Choose soft and warm fabric or recycle sweaters as shown here to create this wrap, which is a perfect extra layer. Accent the wrap with large, interesting buttons. The closure for this two-button wrap can be symmetrical or…offset. Let your mood influence your style.

    I like the reading wrap, they are all very pretty and I like the idea of recycling!

    Wow, I like all of these ideas! I am always getting a sudden light chill that the lighter weight ones would be perfect to solve. However, the one made from a scarf sitting in a drawer unused really set off a light bulb for me, as I have a number of beautiful scarves that would be perfect for the project, allowing me to make better use of items I love but leave lying in the drawer unused.
    Thanks!

    Heading into summer here in TX, it’s gotta be the Aurora wrap. But the Reading Wrap caught my eye, for wintertime reads.

  • Linda E in AZ

    thanks!

    I would certainly make several of the wraps, but my favorite is the Reading Wrap. It just looks so cozy! And I often need one that covers just that much.

    I work with reclaimed wool, so love the sweater wrap and the reading wrap. I have a beautiful plaid blanket in mind for the reading wrap.

    I love that pink reading wrap. It is longer in the back for added warmth to the kidney area.

    The Aurora wrap is my favorite, but the reading wrap is a close second.

  • B

    My most favorite wrap is the aurora wrap. It’s very fun looking and depending on any embellishments, looks like it can be dressed up for a nite out or worn casually while running errands. Love the versatility of the look.

  • Cyndi

    I love the lace wrap to pair with an evening dress. I live in Arizona and other wraps are too heavy!!
    Thank you for the giveaway.

  • Pat

    The On-Point wrap is my favorite. I love the idea of re-purposing a currently unused item into something that will be worn.

  • Janet

    I love the Aurora Wrap! It is just beautiful and feminine. I immediately thought of gifts I could make, after practicing on my own Aurora Wrap first!

  • Catherine Gregoire

  • Linda

    I love them all but the Aurora Wrap is my favorite – it can be beautiful all dressed up or casual with jeans and a T-shirt. And they all lend themselves to fun embellishments!

  • Denise Wilkins

    I love the reading wrap, it would keep my shoulders warm. The pockets are a great space for paper and pen or for a favorite book. I could see warming my hands in the pockets with the “instant hand warmer packs”.

  • Stephanie Richard

    I love the idea of repurposing so my favorite is the sweatshirt wrap with the men’s tie.

    Love all the wraps. My office freezes in the summer. I’ve been trying to think of ideas that would either use up vintage (old from my stash) fabrics OR re-purpose items that have fabric is still in good shape but the item is dated.
    Mary’s book meets the need. Can’t wait to purchase a copy. https://www.westpointgiftstore.com/all-products/browse/keyword/flag-cases

  • Maga

    I find it difficult to choose between The Aurora and the Two Scarf wrap. They would both fit into my summer capsule.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  • Bonnye

    They are all so beautiful. I would make several. Can not decide which one to make first. I think the Aurora wrap.

  • Mary Wippold
    May 12, 2016

    Decisions, decisions, decisions! I would like to make all of these wraps. I’m torn between the Aurora and the On Point wraps. Which one I made first would depend on finding the perfect fabric.

  • Judy
    May 12, 2016

    I’d like one of each wrap but I think I’d make the Aurora wrap first for an upcoming wedding and then the On Point wrap. Then as the young women in the family saw the wraps I’d make one for each of them. Their choice, of course. They’d make easy, fast Christmas or birthday gifts. All the climates are included in the patterns and also the bookworms would have their very own special wrap.

  • Judy
    May 12, 2016

    First I would make the Aurora wrap for an upcoming wedding then the On Point wrap then one for each of the young girls in the family of their choice.
    They make great Christmas or anytime gifts.

  • Nancy E Johnson

    I love the idea of merging two identical scarves into a wrap.

  • Carol
    May 13, 2016

    All of the wraps are cute. My first choice is the reading wrap which I can use while relaxing in my recliner!

  • Jane

    Reading wrap, and sweater, I can see alot of possibilites

  • Patricia B
    May 14, 2016

    Decisions decision. I was only able to narrow down to two: the two button wrap and would definitely recycle sweaters for this!–or the reading wrap, such a great looking alternative to jacket or sweater for cold weather.

    It is a tossup between the Aurora and the Two Scarf wraps.
    Both are elegant and I would love to make them.

  • E. Ann
    May 15, 2016

    My favorite is the Aurora wrap (both options) with the two scarf wrap a close wrap!!!! Thanks for the ideas..

  • Diana
    May 15, 2016

    I love the Aurora wrap. It would be perfect made out of lightweight fabric to cover the upper arms when wearing a sleeveless top. All the designs are lovely and I would be honored to win this book. Thanks for the inspiration.

  • Kathleen McCormck
    May 16, 2016

    I love the aurora and the On Point wraps. Hard to decide, but I think Aurora wins.

  • Donna Fecteau
    May 17, 2016

    I want at least one of each! the scarf wrap is first on my list as I have many of the big square scarves that I no longer wear that way and this will give them a second life in my wardrobe. I think next I will make the sweatshirt one and add some machine embroidery to it.

  • Karen
    May 23, 2016

    My favorite is the two scarf wrap. It’s so easy and can be casual or classy. I’ve made many of them.

    Was hoping to find the pattern for the neck hole on the beach towel wrap…am I missing it?
    Thank you however for the terrific ideas!
