However, I could use some new things, and I want to sew, so I've decided to have my own little Mini-Wardrobe project. Feel free to sew along with me if you'd like!
This is a mini-wardrobe plan that I put together a while back using just pieces from the August issue of BWOF.
My plan consists of two tops, two bottoms, and a dress. ( I love wearing a dress!) From the top left:
08-2009-117 A simple ruffled blouse in georgette. I think this would be cute tucked into the skirt or pants.
08-2009-103 A classic bow blouse. It is shown in the magazine in a semi-sheer crepe chiffon- love it!
08-2009-128 A simple, yet very pretty dress. I'll definitely need to make a muslin to make sure those skirt pleats don't emphasize my tummy!
08-2009-105 The high waist pants (hallelujah!) I've already picked out a black and white tweedy fabric very similar to a houndstooth.
08-2009-110 A high waist skirt. I haven't picked out a fabric for sure yet, but I have several things in the stash that would work nicely.
So while the urge is upon me, I think I'll go trace some patterns. Maybe I can get a muslin made today.
You sew some really pretty things. It will be fun to see how your patterns sew up!
ReplyDeleteI did some damage in OKC last month. Helen Enox's fine fabrics was the chosen spot. What was even better-no husband and no child!
I love the patterns you picked out! I can't wait to see what you come up with on them.
ReplyDeleteI like dresses, too - can't wait to see this one! I like the pleats...
ReplyDeleteNice wardrobe. Good luck in the contest.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a really nice wardrobe. Can't wait to see it through the next few months.
ReplyDeleteWow, mind if I just copy yours and say that it's mine? I love all of those patterns.
