I make most of my own clothes, as I’m sure my readers have gathered by now J<\/span>.\n<\/p>\n

Last year, I bought enough fabric to make a purple capsule for my wardrobe, and I’ve finally gotten around to making the last piece \u2013 a jacket with kimono sleeves. It’s really easy to sew, but I’d been stalling about making it. Partially, this is because I just have been slammed with other projects, but it is partially because there’s a part of the sewing process I absolutely despise.\n<\/p>\n

You see, I hate<\/strong> to cut out patterns. Always have. Don’t ask me why. It’s not like it’s difficult. But I don’t<\/em> like it. I’d actually sew more than I do if I could get out of it in some way and still be able to make clothes. I have a plenty large surface at a good height to cut things out, good scissors, chalk and anything else you’d need to cut out patterns comfortably \u2013 even one of those dangerous pizza cutter type things the quilters use! Even so, I still I don’t like cutting out patterns.\n<\/p>\n

What’s spurred me on is that I really want that purple jacket so that I can put together outfits more interchangeably. When you do a combination wardrobe and find yourself with a hole in it, it really starts to cramp your style when putting outfits together for the week!\n<\/p>\n

The next thing I’m going to make is a black broomstick skirt. I have one that’s a bit too narrow at the hips and too short. I want a proper full and long one. I tend to keep black fabric on hand, because I do wear a fair amount of black, and well\u2026 it goes with everything!\n<\/p>\n

<sighs> I like my interchangeable wardrobe, but I still miss my salwar suits. Damn, first impressions\u2026 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
