When I started seriously sewing again I discovered SWAP, Sewing With A Plan and chose my colors. That made all the difference in the world. I look forward to what you sew next.<br />Theresa in Tucsontheresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13871779245121626075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-80342383792588950412019-09-17T18:52:23.455+01:002019-09-17T18:52:23.455+01:00I always enjoy the wardrobe talk!!

FIguring out what you want to wear when you sew seems harder still!<br /><br />I know:<br />1) I like having a lot of choices <br />2) I love dresses and part of that is the many years spent shopping for them and they were never quite right. So now that I can have awesome dresses - bring them on!<br />3) I am getting to acceptance over my color palette. I don't wear tans/browns. I wish I did, but I do not. I always joke that I am brown and so I don't want to wear brown! I adore jewel tones and almost every shade of the color blue (I'm not a pastels person at all). I love black and white prints so, why not? <br />4) I love toppers. Instead of limiting myself, I'm just going to go ahead and have a free-for-all with jackets, cardigans, etc. :)<br /><br />I can't wait to hear the next installment and YAY for a pinstriped suit!KS_Sews (Dressmakingbacles)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04687503853838975877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-6414416543837307752019-09-16T10:21:38.268+01:002019-09-16T10:21:38.268+01:00I always love your analysis posts, they always mak...I always love your analysis posts, they always make me think about my clothing and why I wear what I wear. Have you looked at Dr T designs, https://doctortdesigns.com/ posts on Kibbe system? I found it incredibly helpful when I found "my" style, which is Natural. You might enjoy it.ElleChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656569539140359204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-73401211916626254152019-09-11T22:35:47.796+01:002019-09-11T22:35:47.796+01:00Fantastic!

I've also chosen a limited colour palette (though mine also has burgundy/berries). I never really managed to come up with a few words which summarised my style.SewRuthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277062926597842242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-42454448145197496312019-09-11T22:30:23.147+01:002019-09-11T22:30:23.147+01:00Great post.

I think we can all learn from your approach of being who we are , not trying to sew and wear what others are making because it is popular and ending up with the perfect wardrobe for us. Your ruminations have obviously paid off very well. PS your ottobre pants look great in the photo so I wonder if it is the fabric and not the pattern that was the issue.

I finally figured out it's a waste of time, fabric, and money. So now it's pants, shirts and jackets in all their iterations. A similar color palette, but I have brown, beige, etc. added. A friend described my "style" as Casual Elegance, due to choices of all natural fabrics, and very classic styles. That works fine for me. I can't wait to see your next posts! BTW, check the library for texts on tailoring. You should find some great help there.

Lots of food for thought. <br /><br />I understand what you are saying about wearing dresses. I didn’t wear them for many years but in the past year and a half I discovered some that I like, all summer dresses that I didn’t make, and now they are some of my favorite things to wear. They are fairly casual, but that is the way I dress. I recently bought a pattern for a winter dress I want to try. sallygardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01507061769261804411noreply@blogger.com
