Have you met Indie Sew? I don’t even know how I stumbled across the site, but I quickly fell in love. Just in time to start my Fall Sewing!
Yes, I know we are a few months into Fall on the calendar, but temperature-wise, we are just now getting here. Fall Sewing is my favorite. The colors are richer, the fabrics are more luxurious.
My closet is a hum-drum of a lot of the same old things. My Stitch Fix subscription started in April and I’ve loved it. It has allowed me to stretch my style, but unfortunately, most pieces are a little out of my budget. (That said, do give it a try. I find something I love in every box and it’s super easy!) But…my last Fix had a perfect white silk shirt that I knew I could build a wardrobe from!
So, white shirt + fall sewing = what kind of wardrobe? Well, I started with this pin of 15 outfits made from Target pieces. Cute, appropriate for my 29+yo self, and very much my style. I loved each of these looks and I knew I already had a few of the pieces. Here’s the run-down:
I have:
- denim jacket
- pencil skirt in black print
- riding boots
- scoop necked sweater
- infinity scarf
- moccasin (well, mine is a loafer)
- leopard flats
I need to make:
- a casual pant
- a second infinity scarf
- denim leggings
- a tunic
- a raglan tee
To buy:
- Denim shirt dress (or maybe find an alternative)
So, what does all this have to do with Indie Sew? How about their Fall Collection. A set of 6 patterns fill the needs on that “Need to Make” list above.
Here’s my fall sewing list:
- the Hudson pant (in brown) (First pair was stitched in red and I love!)
the Commuter Cowl (in a brown print)Finished 10/19/2012- a navy legging (or not. My skinny jeans would serve the same purpose with more coverage.)
- a blue raglan
- and a tunic (color, fabric still in question)
