Every spring I get my sew kick back in action. And that means that I get to plan a HELL of a lot before sewing anything.
The tool guide I use to plan out my made wardrobe:
In the past few years, I have been using a Seamswork free resource to plan my sewing planning. The resources have changed slightly over the years, but the main goal is the same; sew your me-made wardrobe.
Here is a like to download the planner: https://promo.seamwork.com/free-planner. You might need to subscribe to their newsletter, but it is worth it.
Step 1: Set a goal
To make well-made clothing that makes me feel pretty.
How I came to this goal:
I would like to have a collection of clothing items that are well made, suffocated and that represents my personality.
Step 2: Concept in 3 words
Simple – Elegante – Practical and Comfortable
This collection is designed for this life context:
- Work ( 95% of my time is sitting in front of a computer)
- Dates
- Home (comfy mode)
Step 3: Mood of my collection
- Tomboy
- bold graphic print
- white t-shirt
- no zipper
- elastic or drawstring pants
- oversize
- prefers classic pattern pattern
Color inspiration
- orange, blue, green, warm tones
Items that are currently missing in my wardrobe:
Cardigan or pullover ( I AM ALWAYS COLD)
- Ozetta knitting pattern
- Klint Classic by Anne Ventzel
Jeans (Who doesn’t need an extra pair of pants!)
- Ginger jeans (modified for a non-stretch fabric) by Closet Core
T-shirt ( linen and jersey fabric)
