I wear what I sew

Today it's the 18th day of my progressive capsule challenge. I try to use all the garments which is hanging in my wardrobe, just to see how I like all of them. There are a few that I think will move on, but I like most of them. 

A couple of days ago I wore my newly sewn Granville Shirt and I really liked it. I've lost some weight and a couple of sizes so this was my first one in the new size and I think it's close to perfect. Maybe I'll make the sleeves a little bit longer next time.

I've also updated my Stylebook App with my new garments. I took new photos of old garments to get them better. Last time I took photos I just hanged the garments on a hanger but now I used my dressmaking mannequin and the pictures get som much nicer.

Pattern Review Wardrobe Contest

I've sewn a mini wardrobe for Pattern Review's Wardrobe Contest and the voting has begun. Please vote for my wardrobe. 

I needed a new wardrobe, mostly because I lost some weigth, and these garment's are perfect both for working at home and go out with friends

 I want a classic style but also love to use some print to light it up. This Liberty Fabric is one of my favourites.

 I think these six garment's will make me feel great during spring and I'll have something to wear for every occasion.

 The dark blue tee is sewn of a wool knit and is lovely to wear when it's a little bit chilly.

I haven't worn jeans or pants since 2011 but I will try again and see if I like it. I have fabric for another pair but maybe I'll wait until autumn because in summer there is no use for jeans in Provence, where I live. 

Please go to the voting site and vote for my wardrobe!

Soon it will be Spring

I know I said that you will only see the pictures of what I wear at Instagram, but one can change, right? =D

Now I've started to use my garments another time. That's how it will be if I want a small wardrobe. So the only "New" garments today is the jacket and the scarf. Underneath I have my grassgreen Slanted Sleeven and the darkblue Simone Top.
