One of my favorite sewing-related activities is to plan a mini wardrobe capsule for each season. I like to plan the patterns and fabric ahead of time to see how everything will go together. This strategy is also a time-saver because I always have the next project ready to sew. Now that summer is here, I’ve been working on my summer sewing plans.<\/p>\n

Selecting Patterns<\/h2>\n

I’ve been incorporating more dresses into my wardrobe for the last couple of years, especially for the summer. I want to add the Camp Dress<\/a> and Enmore Halter Dress<\/a> this year. For separates, I just completed the Tribeca Knit Cami,<\/a> and I would like to pair the cami with a pair of Lisboa Walking Shorts<\/a>. That gives me a nice 4-piece capsule!<\/p>\n

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

Selecting Fabric<\/h2>\n

For fabric selection, I try hard to pull from my fabric stash. Some seasons I do better than others! For this season, I have already sewn the Tribeca Cami in a black jersey, so I decided that I would coordinate the whole capsule around black. I found a black and white Ikat woven fabric for the Lisboa Shorts. I decided on an olive lightweight wool\/Lycra gabardine from my stash for the Camp Dress. I found a great cream and black rayon\/silk striped fabric for the Enmore Dress.<\/p>\n

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

Seeing it all come together<\/h2>\n

I like to mock up how the fabrics and patterns will look in the finished garment. Sometimes when I do this, I decide the fabrics aren’t working together and make a swap. I think the plan for this summer will look great!<\/p>\n

What about you? Do you like to make a sewing plan, or do you prefer to wing it? What are you planning on sewing this summer? Do you start with patterns or start with fabric?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
