Winter Wardrobe Planning

Following on from the success of my Summer-Spring SWAP, I decided to use the same formula for a winter wardrobe. Here are the bones of what I’ve been working on.

The wishlist…

Main colours: black, dark brown, cream and red.

Expand options for these jackets:

black wool jacket from 2015
brown leather jacket from 2014
Tosti jacket form earlier this year

Really need:

plain knit tops to wear under a jacket, esp cream and black
black jeans and dressy pants
red jeans to go with the Tosti jacket

Nice to have:

dressy knit jacket
handwoven jacket

The Fabrics…

The Blacks (from L to R):

Black & Cream slub – ? Chanel style jacket
Heavy weight black cotton denim – jeans
Black & red poly jersey – top
Black silk jersey – top
Black, brown, cream poly knit – top
Black stretch bengaline – slim-fit pants
Cream, red, black textured knit – jacket

The cream and browns…

top – leather jacket

bottom (from Lt o R)

Brown/black stretch cotton sateen – pants
Black, brown, cream poly knit – top
Brown jeans from summer/autumn swap
Cream silk jersey – beaded top
Cream, red, black textured knit – jacket
Cream textured knit (picture) – knit blazer

the reds… (from L to R)

dark red wool yarn – handwoven fabric for jacket
Black & red poly jersey – top
red bamboo jersey – top
dark red cotton canvas – jeans
Cream, red, black textured knit – jacket

I’m still to decide on some of the patterns, but I think that the fabrics I’ve chosen work well together and complement what is already in my wardrobe.

Lovely! And so organized. Where do you buy your silk jersey?

G’day Lyndle! The black silk jersey was from The Remnant Warehouse in Sydney. It is a bit on the thin side but being black, it isn’t too see-thru. Silksational and Beautiful Silks have undyed silk jersey that is a bit heavier and better for dyeing light colours.

What are you sewing at the moment?
