Selection - 6 Matchy-Matchy Pieces to Sew for Back-to-School

Summer is coming to an end, which means it’s time to look ahead to the upcoming trends that define our look for the end of the year. One trend that never fades is matching outfits with our kids. For a stylish back-to-school season, here are our top 12 patterns for 6 coordinated pieces to sew!

Dress #107 | Burda Style 04/22

What could be better than this pinafore made from the same fabric as your daughter’s dress? It will certainly impress the schooleacher! Choose to wear it loose or fitted according to your taste and style. The belt allows you to adjust it to your liking! And for those cooler mornings, you can easily layer it over a lightweight blouse.

Dress #130 | Burda Style 04/22

To make a splash at school, opt for pieces that are comfortable yet slightly sophisticated for your daughter. This chiffon dress is just perfect. With its 3/4 sleeves, it helps ease the transition from summer to fall smoothly. The dress also features lovely details such as pleats on the skirt and buttoned cuffs on the sleeves.

Jacket #115 | Burda Style 10/22

This vest is a wardrobe must-have! What’s great about this model is that it features removable sleeves and a hood. (After all, it’s no secret that adults are much more sensitive to the weather than kids!)

Gilet #131 | Burda Style 10/22

If there's one piece you shouldn't miss this back-to-school season, it’s this vest. It adds an extra layer to the outfit without completely covering it up. Plus, you can be sure your child won’t get cold, especially with the high officer collar that fastens with a zipper in the front.

Coat #113 | Burda Style 03/22

The quintessential mid-season coat? The trench, of course. And when you get the chance to sew one for your child as well, you can be sure you’ll be the stars of the 2024 back-to-school season. It’s a technically demanding piece that requires many hours of crafting, but you’ll have it to keep for years to come.

Blazer #130 | Burda Style 03/22

We’re absolutely loving the mini version of the trench coat. It features two key differences from the adult version: an added hood and a double-breasted button placket.

Blouse #106 | Burda Style 01/21

We gladly embrace the Peter Pan collar for an adult version. In this model, it’s more elaborate, featuring small pleats on the front and sleeves with draping at the cuffs. This adds a touch of sophistication and breaks up the collar’s more demure appearance, giving the blouse a bolder look.

Blouse #132 | Burda Style 01/21

If you're looking for romantic looks for you and your daughter this back-to-school season, this blouse is perfect! It features a charmingly retro detail: the Peter Pan collar. The blouse has long, puffed sleeves and a delicate back slit for fastening.

Trousers #130 | Burda Style 08/24 best of Burda Style 01/23

Trousers #132 | Burda Style 01/23

Saying goodbye to summer means saying hello to the first cozy moments with a hot chocolate in front of the TV. But family movie nights can also be enjoyed in matchy-matchy outfits. These pants could be the start of a successful homewear look. Your child will definitely find the comfort they crave after a day at school.

Hoodie #120 | Burda Style 10/22

In this adult version, the sweatshirt comes with a hood and elasticated cuffs. It’s a loose piece you’ll never tire of wearing with your little one, whether indoors or outdoors.

Hoodie #133 | Burda Style 10/22

Often associated with sports, the sweatshirt has reinvented itself and become a full-fledged fashion piece. This applies to both our children and us. So, let’s embrace matchy-matchy styles with pastel or nude colors. The children’s version is loose-fitting and features a front pocket. Easy enough for beginners, the sweatshirt can be completed in just 2 hours.
