Other members of Seamwork will will know about the Design Your Wardrobe course they run 4 times a year.
I've found it really helpful in bringing some purpose to my sewing (not as boring as I have made that sound). It's not about planning things out to the nth degree; it's more about thinking about what you need and want and how that might work with what you already have. It's about having a theme and a goal and using both of those to guide you when making sewing plans.
For me it has saved money and gradually over the last 2 years I have built a wardrobe where things work together. I find the whole process to be very pleasing and helpful!!
This is my mood board for Autumn. Firming up on a colour palette and thinking about fabrics and patterns comes later. The last week has been about inspiration, goals, context, life events and life areas.
My goal is to be able to move seamlessly through my days - working from home, walking the dogs, able to meet friends for coffee, doing some yoga stretches, jumping on Zoom for work meetings, running errands - without having to get changed. I only want to get dressed once each day! I also want to wear the good stuff! I want to stop 'saving it for best' (I know, that dates me even more than my face does!). My words for Autumn are Colour - Comfort - Chic.
