Hello! I was thinking this morning after reading a comment left by Pink Tulip about not being as far along in making clothes as she would like. I can really relate to that…I have definitely not sewn as many items as I would have liked so far this season. Autumn is fast approaching, and I can feel the cold weather on the way, but I have nothing to wear! I decided that I would put together all the items that I would like to make for myself this season. I have chosen pictures that most closely represent what I would like to make, though of course I will be making my own stylistic changes to each item as I go along. If you are having trouble getting started on making your own clothes, I feel your pain! Take a small step towards building your wardrobe by scouring the internet and patterns at a fabric store to prioritize what you want to make for yourself.

I am noticing a lack of warm clothing. I think I might have to make a blazer or two to layer over all these things. Have a lovely weekend everyone!
What a great selection of clothes! I need to do this for fall – make a plan of what to add to my wardrobe (and get rid of some of the other, not so great fitting items…)
Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
This is a great idea to get started. I love #6 & 11.
What a cool idea! Maybe I should also make a visual list of things I still want to make. It will certainly keep reminding me of my list and be more inspirational. At least you have ticked off one item and is in progress with another on your list. It’s great to see that. I do the same. This past weekend I managed to tick off three items on my ever-growing long list of things I want to make. It feels great! Except I have already added about 5 new items! Will the list ever be empty? Love your selection! Hope you had a good weekend.
Great idea, and fabulous choices! Can’t wait to see what you do!
This is such a great idea. I have ideas for each fabric and pattern that I own, but I don’t write them down and sometimes lose track. But I try not to take it too seriously though when my plan changes. I download inspiration photos but don’t match them up to projects I’m hoping to make.
Number 6 is actually from J. Crew and it’s still available to buy.
I spotted it over on the Seattle PI. http://blog.seattlepi.com/vivaciousblueprint/archives/180004.asp
Sprizee- Thanks so much for the info, I must have wrote down the wrong company! I’ve just changed the credit on the post. Thanks again!!
