\"A<\/a>Well, I’ve ordered the fabric for my new wardrobe. This is a bit of a leap, as I’ve never really committed to this much sewing before. But I really, really need a decent wardrobe, don’t have much money and with this, I’ll get a bunch of interchangable outfits for less than I’d get in a department store. I need stuff that’ll look good for teaching computer classes and all of ’em will be acceptable when I throw the jacket on.<\/p>\n

The sash can be a sash or a scarf, so it coordinates pretty well.<\/p>\n

This project is based on the Stage One of Sewing with a Plan<\/a>, but I’ve adapted it a bit to suit my needs and desires… and the pattern I had lying around!<\/p>\n

This becomes a basic “go anywhere” wardrobe. I need a suit? Skirt, shell and jacket. Hanging out? Shell and pants or a belt and shift if it’s hot. Nice dress? I can wear the jacket with a shift of the same color and dress it up or down with accessories. Since everything goes with everything else, I won’t get too bored with the looks.<\/p>\n

Not bad for less than $150!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
