In spite of only finishing a few of my chosen garments for the Spring 2011 palette challenge put on by Colette Patterns, I really liked the disciplinary focus it gave to my spring sewing (and fabric buying). I'll be attempting to complete their fall 2011 palette challenge, with the following garments:
1. Draped, long-sleeved winter dress, to wear with boots.
2. Draped, short-sleeved silk blouse.
3. Chanel-style cardigan or collarless jacket.
4. Semi-flared high-waisted jeans, in a classic not-too-dark denim rinse.
5. Long-sleeved jersey top.
I have been posting my sewn spring and summer wardrobe sporadically on my BurdaStyle studio, but will do a post soon, as a sort of checklist, to see how much of my proposed spring sewing I actually accomplished!
