This past winter I really enjoyed planning and sewing for “the great module sew along<\/a>” challenge on Instagram. The challenge was to sew a small capsule wardrobe of 3 tops, 2 bottoms and a topper in 6 weeks. You can see my plans here<\/a> and the clothes I made here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whitney (TomKatStitchery<\/a> on youtube and @tomkatstitcherycarmel<\/a> on instagram) is hosting another challenge this fall, with the theme “Work from Home”. You can see what others are making on Instagram with the hashtag #wfhmodulesewalong<\/a>. <\/p>\n

While the theme is perfect for the pandemic and everyone staying home, I\u2019ve worked out of my house most of my career, and even though I could wear pajamas all day, I\u2019ve found that I\u2019m much happier and productive if I dress in the morning as if I\u2019m going to meet someone for lunch or coffee. I\u2019ve been trying to build a wardrobe that I can wear most of the year \u2014 sleeveless tops for summer that I can layer with a cardigan or light jacket in spring & fall. Skirts and cropped pants that I can wear either barelegged or with tights & boots. So my plans look a bit summery, even though this is autumn sewing. But I have several cardigans, jackets and scarves to coordinate with my selections that will take me, hopefully, through winter. <\/p>\n

For the winter\/spring challenge, my color palette was olive and black. For this one, I’m going to use rust and navy:<\/p>\n

\"work<\/p>\n

Here’s my sewing plan:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. Top #1: self-drafted woven tank with a tie in rust-colored rayon.\n
  2. Top #2: Vogue 1027<\/a> wrap top (the pattern is for a dress, but I’m cropping it at my hip) in a cotton jersey
    \n
  3. Top #3: Vogue 9187<\/a> in a print rayon crepe
    \n
  4. Bottom #1: Tesutti Evie bias cut skirt<\/a> in the same rust colored rayon as the first top
    \n
  5. Bottom #2: self-drafted cropped pants\/culottes in navy linen.
    \n
  6. Topper: Vogue 7975<\/a> in a navy cotton jacquard.
    \n<\/OL>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The challenge runs from Sept 1 to Oct 31, so I’ll hopefully be back to report on my progress before then.<\/p>\n

    Lastly if, like me, you enjoy seeing how and what other people plan for sewing a capsule wardrobe, there’s another challenge running at the same time called #mybodymodel3x3<\/a>. It’s a drawing challenge to design a capsule wardrobe using paper doll cut-outs of 9 garments: 3 tops, 3 bottoms and 3 layers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
