So, there are plenty of ideas there! I plan for them to mix in with existing garments as well. The next thing to do will be to pull out some fabrics. I have plenty in stash – but will they be the right weights and colours to work together nicely? What will feel the most like “me” in the workplace? More rumination time required…
That is quite a large wishlist. I don’t think you will have much time for rumination!
Lots of great patterns there Lara. I have made two Style Arc Nina cardigans and they have been very well worn garments in my wardrobe. I need to make a few more.
Looking forward to see all your catch up sewing posts AND your future makes .
Made the Ella as the pattern instructed. Ended up cutting off the double row of frill, the double row was a bit much for me. Used a sweater knit and like the single row of frill better. The pattern fit very well but no surprise there as it is style arc. Happy sewing
Fab pattern choices! I’m looking enviously at some of those.
Never heard of Style Arc, where do I get them! patterns are $5 at spotlight now! Look forward to reply.
Hi there Venora – Style Arc are an Australian pattern company who sell their patterns online. You can check them out at http://www.stylearc.com.au/stylearc/ It’s worth signing up to their newsletter. They add new patterns on a regular basis. I sew from them a lot (as you can tell from the number of their patterns I’ve included here).
Processes like this intrigue me. Thanks for sharing. It appears that patterns come before fabric for you. Fingers crossed the stash delivers.
Have a blast with your winter selections. There are some lovely choices .That’s only about 3 days sewing for you. (You are super fast) How about some of the lovely dress patterns you have made. cut down to top length. Like SA Mia (I think) lovely crossover front ,it was really flattering on you.
Love the Taylor skirt and barb pants Kylie and Gina tops look fab. Ella cardi
Lol I think I’m finding my own Wishlist
Enjoy making them. 😄😄
Wow! Gorgeous patterns! Looking forward to seeing these garments.
