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)
