Spring has sprung here in Virginia, and nothing seems to put me in the sewing mood quite like crocuses and daffodils. I’m currently working on a modified v-neck Terrace Dress<\/a> in a lovely wine-colored linen and fantasizing about the perfect spring capsule wardrobe I would sew if someone took my kids for a week. Since that’s not happening any time soon, I know I won’t sew all of these. But it’s fun to dream, right?<\/p>\n

This dream capsule consists of a pair of pants, a skirt, a dress and three tops that would go with both the pants and the skirt.<\/p>\n

\"Spring<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Clockwise from top left:<\/p>\n

1. Virginia gets steamy in the summer, which is the perfect weather for loose-fitting lightweight pants and a boxy linen tank. I really like this combination<\/a>, which is made for the Breezy Blouse<\/a> and the Montauk Trousers<\/a> with a widened leg.<\/p>\n

2. I also really like breezy dresses in warm weather, often made of … you guessed it … linen. The Terrace Dress<\/a> I’m making right now is very similar to this one<\/a>. The Cappuccino Dress<\/a>, the Cinema Dress<\/a> and the Gelato Dress<\/a> are also terrific options for a loose-fitting warm-weather frock.<\/p>\n

3. And I always like to have one easy-to-wear but dressy-feeling top in the spring. I can see this pretty floral blouse<\/a> made up using the Weekend Getaway<\/a> pattern, can’t you?<\/p>\n

4. Lengthen the skirt and make it in denim, and I’m all over this outfit<\/a>\u00a0using the Extra-Sharp Pencil Skirt<\/a> and the Maritime Knit Top<\/a>. I am due for another Maritime, actually, as I ruined mine while mouse-proofing the garage with a canister of spray foam …<\/p>\n
