The Solution to My Dilemma
I looked in my closet.
Ugh! I’ve nothing to wear.
“Where could those great clothes be?”
I began to despair!

Should I panic or cry?
Time to do something rash!
And then, in the corner
I find the answer–my stash!

There are my clothes, I see!
But they’re not cut or seamed!
Just lovingly folded,
Not the clothes that I’d dreamed.

Then on Pattern Review,
A Wardrobe Contest I spy
And a wardrobe I need,
So let’s give it a try!

Not dressy nor formal,
No office attire
For this everyday mom
Just the Basics! Quick! It’s dire!

I return to my stash
And each piece I caress,
Dreaming up my wardrobe:
What to sew? In what to dress?

Let’s see. I’ll need 4 tops.
Something cool and cute would do.
Plus I’ll need a tunic
And a knit top or two.

As for some great bottoms,
I’d like to flatter mine!
I’ll need great fitting pants
And a skirt that’s divine!

And the final piece I’ll need–
A great little black dress!
Something simple and cool
For Sunday’s. That’d be best!

I’ve chosen my fabrics.
Patterns ready to go!
Scissors sharp! Bobbins filled.
On your mark! Get set! Let’s sew!
