The Wardrobe Project, 2016: Three Must Haves, the Mid-week Segment

As soon as the weather warms in Spring my plants go outside on covered porches. I try to remember to water them regularly, I try to remember to rotate them to even out their sun exposure. This little guy sat on a second shelf, under a large plant and was watered from the over flow of the larger plant. I sort of forgot about it. Look how it has rewarded me! I feel guilty.

Hello there Sewists! Here we are ticking away the weeks until the New Year. I have been doing some fashion blog reading and came to a few conclusions.  These dedicated bloggers have done lots of research from the trends championed by designers and ready to wear. The general consensus shakes out to a few key points. First, to a person, they all advocate the 'core wardrobe' concept. It is financially responsible and it is efficient for the wearer. Clearly, fashion has come around to understanding the Sewist mind-set. Well, that's how I choose to look at it! From my early sewing days I chose to make items that would go together. My budget was limited and so were my options. In the end, it worked out well. I suppose that is why I was attracted to the whole Vogue Patterns Magazine project to begin with. Jeans, Burberry, $295.00. Not my size or style but I hope you get the idea. I don't care for skin tight anything but jeans styles and preference are as personal as the wearer.


Not all of these items need to be made by you. These may be items you choose to purchase to round out the new core wardrobe. For many of us these items may already be pillars of our current wardrobe. Here they are: 
  1. White blouse/shirt.
  2. Tailored Jeans.
  3. Neutral trench coat.
 White Straight Fit Shirt - Image 1White, straight cut, Burberry, $425.00. I know.
