At the end of November I put together my Fall\/Winter sewing plans<\/a>, excited to have pieces that would all work together. I made the first top — a True Bias Nikko Turtleneck<\/a> — and realized that I needed them in all the colors. So I’ve used much of my sewing time doing just that, rather than making the other items in my list. I now have an olive turtleneck, as well as black, brown, paprika, and navy — all in heavy rotation.<\/p>\n

I’ve made some progress with several of the other things on my list, but got stuck with a fitting failure on the pants I was hoping to make.<\/p>\n

Then along came the Great Module Sew-along<\/a>, an instagram challenge to make a small capsule wardrobe (3 tops, 2 bottoms and a topper) by the end of March. It’s hosted by Whitney (TomKatStitchery<\/a> on youtube and @tomkatstitcherycarmel<\/a> on instagram) and Carla (Stay Stitching<\/a> on youtube and @carlamayfield5<\/a> on instagram). It’s been inspiring to watch what other sewists have planned to make, and are already making. I decided to join in, to give me a nudge to make more progress on my Fall\/Winter plan.<\/p>\n

I’m modifying my original plan a bit to fit into the challenge format. They are loose with the rules, so items you’ve already made are allowed. Here’s my fabric choices<\/p>\n

\"Fabric<\/p>\n

From the top:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. Flannel for a button up (vogue 8772)\n
  2. Wool jersey for a turtleneck (True Bias Nikko)
    \n
  3. Flannel for another button up (vogue 8772)
    \n
  4. Ultra suede for a skirt (hack of new look 6106)
    \n
  5. Wool flannel bottom weight for pants (Deer & Doe narcisse)
    \n
  6. Boiled wool for a cropped jacket (Decades of Style 3’s a charm)
    \n<\/OL>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    I’m a bit unsure of the fabric choices for the 2 button ups — the greens aren’t quite right and I don’t know if they’ll fit under the cropped jacket. But we’ll see…<\/p>\n

    And sketches I made of the (hopefully) resulting outfits. <\/p>\n
