To help organize my thoughts (and because its fun!) I have started some rudimentary storyboards to plan my wardrobe sewing. I've entered the Endless Combinations contest hosted by Pattern Review and started my sewing with McCalls 5241 & Butterick 3344.
McCalls 5241 is my attempt at a cardigan because I think I look frumpy in most cardigans. It's inspiration is a DKNY 'cozy' wrap cardigan that I saw in Lucky magazine. Butterick 3344 is a matching t-shirt that I made with a low scoop and extended sleeves that pool around my wrists a bit. The inspiration is James Perse t-s from Net-a-Porter.
My challenge is to build in some more trendy, fashion forward pieces into the wardrobe plan. As you can see by my storyboards, the clothing is pretty clean and tailored looking so far. At least my 'fabric store' is filled with lovely, co-ordinated fabrics and millions of patterns!
