The "I Need a Win" Knit Top

So, my Micro-Mini Wardrobe plans got totally derailed during the month of September. Not because I wasn’t doing a lot of sewing (I was, actually), but because I spent the whole month fitting toiles (or mock ups or muslins, if you prefer). After feeling like I’d spent a lot of time accomplishing nothing and that all of my pattern adjusting was getting the best of me, I decided I needed a quick win…

Micro-Mini Wardrobe Sewing Plans?

Micro-Mini Wardrobe Sewing Plans? #sewing #PRWardrobeContest #sewingplans #wardrobeplanning

For the month of September, Pattern Review is running a mini wardrobe sewing contest. Typically these contests run a bit longer and require more pieces, but for this year’s contest it only requires 2 bottoms and 3 tops, all which must mix-and-match. Since I need to get together a back-to-work “hybrid” wardrobe (3 days on site, 2 days remote), this challenge actually seems perfect for my personal…

I’ve been really busy the past few weeks, but when I realized I had a 3 day weekend and enough time to enter the Pattern Review Zoom contest just before the closing date, I found the energy to zip through the next project of my mini wardrobe plans! For this top, I’ve made the M1464 sweater/top/shirt from the Winter 2014 edition of My Image Magazine. It’s a pretty basic turtleneck top, but I was…

Mini Wardrobe Sewing: Bottom 1 Review

Mini Wardrobe Sewing: Bottom 1 Review #sewing #miniwardrobesewing #skirt #patternreview

Moving on to the next piece in my mini wardrobe project, I’ve made a new skirt! For this project, I’ve used the BurdaStyle 01/2016 #106 skirt, though I’ve used the length from the #107B style dress rather than making the full maxi skirt. Overall I’m pretty happy with how my version turned out: I think the invisible zip turned out really great, and I also added a lining to the inside. A year…

Mini Wardrobe Sewing: Top 1 Review #sewing #patternreview #wardrobeplanning #miniwardrobesewing

So, I had originally hoped to get this mini wardrobe sewn back in 2020 in time for the pattern review contest, but, as predicted in my original post, that did not come to pass. I’m still enamored with this plan, however, so I’m going to whittle away at these garments and see how far I can get in 2021. When I had started the project I traced out all of the patterns I had planned to use, and I…
