The best thing about sewing your own clothes is that you decide the trends, palette, and what you will want to make for yourself based on styles that flatter you (as opposed to flatting the masses).
I made a quick storyboard for possible projects for Spring 2011. Since I plan to sew a season ahead, this would be in progress right now. I picked the items of clothing that most closely matched fabric type, cut, or color, and thus the details in the storyboard aren’t entirely accurate.
Items I already own:
Items to make:
Items to buy:
This is fantastic! I can’t wait to see the pink or violet suit! That look is so classy!
Thank you, Debi! That should be next after the Anne Adams dress.
I adore this! The palette is really lovely <3
Thank you, Paunnet! After many many years of wearing all black I’m finally branching out into color!
Janice, this so rocks the party. I love that you have the foresight to plan a season ahead and are breaking it down into what you already own, what you need to make, and what you need to buy. It’s a brilliant system, totally an effective way to sew and shop and look fabulous.
Thank you, Ali! I take my cue from the fashions that are available in RTW. Right now H+M brings out their spring wares, so I take that as a sign to continue sewing Spring projects or start Summer projects.
