Hi all! I am planning my capsule wardrobe now my newly refurbished craftroom is almost up and running.
I am going to start with leisure wear. I enjoy swimming and Tai Chi so my first project is a bag. I have cut out and started the Sew Over It City Set bag and card wallet from a navy blue canvas that was part of a Guthrie and Ghani kit a while back. My first attempt at a zipped welt pocket was a bit of a disaster but as it will ne inside the bag, I am not too worried.
My plan is to centre my kit around blues. I am tossing up between the Lane Pants from Sydney Graham or the Chanterelle pants from Sew Liberated. I have a mid blue raime fabric for those .I hate anything too clingy when I have been for a swim, so either of those would be fine. I am going to do a Toaster sweater in a pale blue polar fleece for early morning swims and Tai Chi and a navy set of Sew Liberated Lomestone leggings and the top. The leggings will do for Tai Chi and the top can be a bra top to wear home after a swim (I hate trying to wrestle with a bra) I also have a blue bundle of tee shirt weight jersey from Lamazi fabric for some co-ordinated simpe tee- shirts.
All in all I hope to create a capsule leisure set that I can mix and match for the seasons and wear for other occasions too. Well that is the plan!!
