<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hello Blogland! It's been awhile! Instagram has seduced me with its convenient ways. However, when the Minerva Crafts Blogging Team reached out and asked me to write a post on some of their fabric, how could I say no?!?! Being back on Blogger is giving me all the feels....remembering when I first luckily discovered the online sewing community back in 2012 (has it really been that long???). It was kismet. I haven't looked back since!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This Lady McElroy horse print in polyester chiffon dress fabric (black on pink) immediately caught my eye on the <a href="https://www.minervacrafts.com/shop/fabric/dress-fabrics/rst-ht187-lady-mcelroy-horse-print-polyester-chiffon-dress-fabric-black-on-pink-per-metre" target="_blank">Minerva website</a>. My horse obsession and sewing obsession have finally met up with each other! It just occurred to me I should've scouted out a horse to take a picture with. Darn it! Next horse outfit I will! ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I chose to use the Butterick <a href="https://butterick.mccall.com/product-search?ref=B6684" target="_blank">B6684</a> pattern because what self respecting girly girl doesn't love a good bow shirt? It's from their latest Summer Sewing Collection. It paired well with the light pink color of the blouse and the fun horse print. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The fabric wasn't too difficult to work with for a chiffon! It's lovely and breezy to wear, which is just what I need in the summer heat!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> </span> </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Since the fabric was on the sheer side, I decided to stray from some of the sewing instructions, just a bit (I'm a sewing rebel!). I opted to make my own bias tape binding from the fabric scraps instead of using the facing that it called for. I think it works well and doesn't distract from the look of the garment at all.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyZ3Je1GcHZzRH8h88Rb3FDW69642UmEW2UcjgYJkJvD8w9qdUx10L0XdkwVgwjKcYltAUl-NKczO3Vw-yZkA2dWIj1qia_wdIZDdyGbsCRKsQm4s7aD0FS-7pUh3Jv4uXeZaEqBGt8Vs/s1600/B6684+bias+armyce.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1040" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyZ3Je1GcHZzRH8h88Rb3FDW69642UmEW2UcjgYJkJvD8w9qdUx10L0XdkwVgwjKcYltAUl-NKczO3Vw-yZkA2dWIj1qia_wdIZDdyGbsCRKsQm4s7aD0FS-7pUh3Jv4uXeZaEqBGt8Vs/s640/B6684+bias+armyce.jpg" width="414" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I also decided to use my homemade bias tape binding on the sleeves. I think it helped it lay more flat and thankfully the armscye is the perfect shape for me (I had neglected to check it during the paper muslin process I usually use but this time it worked out for me. What a relief!). I also used the French Seam technique for the shoulder and side seams, also due to the nature of the fabric and not wanting to have fraying seams!</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">And there you go! A feminine, breezy, lovely top that I'm sure will be apart of my regular wardrobe rotation. There's always a special feeling of pride when a self made garment turns out well!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I wanted to be apart of this as soon as I heard about it, but I'm not even sure how I want to broach this subject of how sewing helped me so much. My story is kind of unique and hard to tell. I will try to be generous and objective as I can, but I am also going to be true to my experience. It's kind of a long story if you are interested and I feel like all of the details are important to adequately explain myself.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>Three Years Old</i> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> Where do I even start? I guess from the very beginning. I was a honeymoon baby to two people who were married while my mom was still a teenager. My parents had only graduated from high school. My father worked on different dairy farms. They had seven kids, one right after the other. They briefly owned a farm but it went bankrupt. Then my father got a job as a hoof trimmer, but he did not like that job at all. My mother was a younger child of doting parents. She is not what one would describe as nurturing, organized, clean, or a home maker. Both of my parents could be described as fun loving, rebellious, chaotic, and social. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">How did I fit into this family? The truth is that I didn't. I have always been a serious, quiet person, from the beginning. I grew up with a lot of shame for having a filthy home (rotting food, urine and feces everywhere, garbage everywhere) and not having any clothes. I realize that many have had much worse, but I can count on one hand the number of times my parents purchased clothes for me until I became married at age 21. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">As I was growing up, for reasons I am not exactly sure why, my mother was obsessed with turning her children into classical musicians. I was made to play the violin even though we "couldn't afford" clothes, doctor's visits, lunch food, shampoo, tooth brushes, and tooth paste. We did have cable TV however. I hated every minute of music lessons and practice. I did not want to play the violin. When I was 13, I had a steady baby sitting job and I payed for my own violin lessons, probably to try to get into my mother's good graces. She really started to take an interest in me and my activities. She would write me long letters now about how much she loved me, and of course I loved every minute of that. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>I bought this shirt with my own money but still had to share it with my sister who bullied me and stretched it out</i></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I started playing in more prestigious competitions and playing more challenging pieces. At the same time, I had no idea how to read music. I had been taught the Suzuki method of ear training when I was younger and never learned how to do more than listen to a piece and try to copy it. I was thrown into orchestras and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I would just pretend to play and hope the directors wouldn't notice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">As I got older and it became closer for me to graduate, my life became worse. My parents became more and more stressed and upset for reasons I didn't quite understand but now I know had to do with finances and my both of my parents' hatred for their jobs. I had a sister that became super rebellious, into partying, and into making my life as miserable as she could. My parents were sometimes exasperated by her but mostly afraid of her and didn't stop her from spreading rumors about me, excluding me from my own friends and activities (social isolating), swearing at me, belittling me, and making me pay for things for her. I was punished for any attempt to stand up for myself against her. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">On top of everything, I knew I couldn't become a professional violinist. I wasn't competing at a high enough level. I still couldn't read music and honestly I really wasn't interested in the violin that much. I was glad I had some ability, and I still am, but I do not have an intrinsic love of it. I was also struggling with an eating disorder. Some people outside my family would say that I was "pretty" and "skinny" but I thought that couldn't be true because I was treated so badly. In my mind, I thought I had to look perfect in order to be loved, and since I wasn't loved I must not look good enough.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> Suffice it to say, I hated everything about myself. I tried to tell my parents to cut their losses with my violin career, and their response to that was to unleash their upset feelings about the money they wasted on the violin and their frustrations with life on me. These people who had taught me never to say a swear word would scream obscenities at me. I was made to sit and listen for hours on end how I had a "too negative/boring" personality and would never be happy because of that. I was told that no one would love or marry me, I would be friendless forever, if I didn't become a violinist, which I knew I couldn't do. I have learned since that they ran away from the jobs their parents wanted them to have when I was a baby. Also, my parents had spent $5,000 on a violin for me, which I now have given to my brother who is a violinist.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Somehow I made it to a university another state away, and did my best to stay away from my family, but had a lot of guilt about not being good enough for them, not being able to please them, and wondering if I had offended God by not wanting to be around them any more. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I got married and settled pretty close to where my family lived, but I still wanted to stay away and did everything I could to do so. This was confusing to outsiders, who only knew my parents and siblings as the "big happy family of Christian musicians".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I was told over and over that I imagined every slight, I couldn't trust my own opinions about anything, and that I needed to continue to do what my parents wanted. I was told this by almost my entire extended family.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">No one came to or celebrated two of my three school graduations. I currently have a bachelor's degree in history and music.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">There was an incident where I copied pictures of my ancestors without permission (they still have the originals and copies), something I should not have done but still have not been forgiven of and was very much used against me. Other siblings have crashed cars and destroyed property with no consequence.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I got in a lot of trouble for cleaning my room and writing in my journal while a sister was sneaking out of the house to be with boys, drank alcohol, and did drugs. I got good grades, stayed out of trouble, paid for everything myself, but was very much the scapegoat for all my siblings' and parents' problems.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I was told under no circumstance was I welcome to move back home after I graduated from high school. All of my other siblings have done so.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">After I went to one of my sister's wedding, I received a letter that said she hated me and was forced to invite me to her wedding. I had barely seen her for five years before that.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Every single one of my sisters (I have four) have admitted to me privately that they know they know they need to be more kind to me, but continue to try to take out their frustrations on me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">And there is even more that I could say that is more crazy, and it will probably never end. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So, how does sewing fit into all of this?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">After I got married, I worked as hard as I could to graduate and pay off all of my school loans. I worked all sorts of jobs and even sold my plasma (blood) twice a week. My reward to myself was a sewing machine, something I always wanted but seemed way too expensive and out of reach for me. It was such a luxury to finally get one and I dove right in, not knowing at all what I was doing but loving every minute of it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I didn't even realize until I heard of this prompt that sewing really did find me in my twenties, probably when I needed it most. I am so grateful that sewing was such a positive force for me as I became a mom without any family there to help guide me. It was a great challenge to dive into when I needed a break from the "trenches of motherhood" (never ending laundry, cooking, and cleaning). It gave me a sense of accomplishment, and a source of self esteem when I was literally being told I was worthless. It was my dream come true when my dream of my "birth family" never came to be. I have so many great memories of making clothes, some that were lessons in failure and others that made me so proud! Sewing was also a way to focus on something besides my unsolvable family problems and relieve my brain from depression. Finally, it was a great creative outlet for the clothes I always dreamed of making for myself and wearing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">It
was my faith, despite my parents' examples of their own, that
ultimately saved me during this challenging time. Somehow, I did know
that my Savior loved me when no one else did. Therapy also really helped. I
definitely recommend it to people with challenging family problems.
There are lots of great books about boundaries and family dynamics that
are life savers if anyone needs a recommendation. In the end, I learned that even if
it didn't make sense to outsiders that only saw one side of my family
or heard only their side of all stories, I had every right to cut toxic
people, family or not, out of my life. I did so slowly, but now I do not talk to those who had used me the most. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">If you made it to the end of this post, thank you! Simply saying I had a dysfunctional family/childhood is what I have to say a lot of times, but really doesn't explain the whole situation of my life. Sewing was something that helped me through it and I definitely suggest taking up a hobby when one is struggling with the hardships of life! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hello everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged! Life has been a whirlwind of activity! I've been trying my best to keep my head above water and so everything superfluous took a back seat. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Anyways, I don't want to quit blogging, even if I break the cardinal rules and don't write very frequently or consistently. I do want to write a few things that I have learned recently.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I feel like I don't learn just a ton a once and all of the sudden I'm so much more knowledgeable. Actually, who learns like that at all? I want to talk to you if you do, and learn your secrets. I learn a little bit here and a little bit there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So, here are a few of the things that I have learned that have definitely helped me. Maybe these tips will work for you, and maybe they aren't exactly what you need. You decide!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfvSnRH_qd0bVVNYEtiydiCm3GFOg77zfy-oN7wA-aj73f4Z59odiIavOdszvB2RWtHmSMlnMYc-OnT08y3Oy1cXtFJEU8ffcwYx9iPQbdwJ9RKgqurXqRafTFeIvw_wpUOFECC0yhqeE/s1600/fabriced..jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1600" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfvSnRH_qd0bVVNYEtiydiCm3GFOg77zfy-oN7wA-aj73f4Z59odiIavOdszvB2RWtHmSMlnMYc-OnT08y3Oy1cXtFJEU8ffcwYx9iPQbdwJ9RKgqurXqRafTFeIvw_wpUOFECC0yhqeE/s640/fabriced..jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">1. Stash Less </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My new challenge to myself is just to sew everything in my fabric stash or get rid of it. I heard of some people keeping only fabric for their next project and I am very inspired by this. I purged a bunch of things I just know I won't use and made a plan for everything else. I find that I'm less plagued by guilt when I see what I haven't sewn (I hate wasting money!). I feel more focused and in control. An added bonus is that I have saved money these last few months and bought tools and books I have needed instead that have really helped me! I also have a feeling that I will invest in better quality fabrics if I am purchasing just enough material for the next project in line.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Patterns are harder for me to get rid of. I hoard them! I admit it. When I get them for so little or free, I don't want to get rid of them. Every one that I have I find so beautiful and it seems like a waste to get rid of one that I might find the perfect fabric for someday! However, I have decided that I need to be more selective about what I purchase in the future. I will still probably snatch up every vintage reproduction! A lot of other things I will admire from a distance but probably say no to. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu2aDYzudC_7Xk0gZ5lzLRRbrISRkgb9_JXiKcDLf0QzUZMq-FcACfSlQ7n0HH9O_OFC2OUxYLWXKZhiVP9zwsvpe3sXMSp0SH_hjiVb8PbjODqsmh5Phfv4oNW0wY78qv0ZtoHWZ43JA/s1600/sewinged2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu2aDYzudC_7Xk0gZ5lzLRRbrISRkgb9_JXiKcDLf0QzUZMq-FcACfSlQ7n0HH9O_OFC2OUxYLWXKZhiVP9zwsvpe3sXMSp0SH_hjiVb8PbjODqsmh5Phfv4oNW0wY78qv0ZtoHWZ43JA/s640/sewinged2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">2. Make Appropriate Goals For Oneself</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I see so many talented people setting up their own vlogs, Etsy shops, drafting patterns to sell, making podcasts, ect. ect. I commend them all! Good for you guys. There is a little voice in the back of my head saying, "Make sewing into a side hustle....make money with what you love!" As tempting as this is, sewing is my hobby. Maybe someday I will have the energy to turn it onto a money making machine, but right now it would turn my "escape from unpleasant reality" into more stress, which I really don't need. My heart is full, but so are my hands! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">More sewing temptations for me are competitions, sew-alongs, and challenges. I think these are excellent ways to learn new things, boost creativity, gain encouragement to finish a project, meet new people, and maybe even win a fun prize or two! However, sometimes they come at moments where I have too much going on. In the past I have killed myself trying to do everything and I just don't want to add more stress to my life right now. I am being more selective about what works for me, and that is okay! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So if you are not sewing everything and making money doing it, don't sweat it! If you keep making mistakes, don't worry! Everyone does. I keep on getting reminded that sewing is supposed to be therapeutic and fun. A garment usually takes a couple weeks to sew, even the very best seamstresses have to redo things sometimes and take breaks! Do what is right for you and makes you feel happy.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I grew up on old Hollywood classics. Doris Day, Julie Andrews, and Alfred Hitchcock were very familiar names to me! I especially adored Audrey Hepburn, so when the Gertie pattern B6353 came out I immediately fell in love! It is a copy of a dress from the movie "Sabrina" that I always loved.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">When the corresponding Gertie fabric went on sale a year ago I snatched it up! I finally sewed it up this month and I am going to be Audrey Hepburn for Halloween! My childhood dreams have come true!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">There is a beautiful old mansion in my area, "The Moore Mansion", that I new I wanted to get a picture at, but I wasn't sure how to do it. So I drove up to it when the owner happened to be outside, I asked if I could take a picture just outside the gate and they told me I could take a picture anywhere on the property! It was a dream come true! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">What I know about the Moore Mansion was that it was supposed to be a vacation home for a wealthy, ailing woman. It was built around 1920 but the lady died before it was finished! In the 1930s it was a "speakeasy" and even Franklin Delano Roosevelt had been here! It was abandoned for many years and was a restaurant when I was a child. It caught on fire and sustained a lot of damage when I was in high school. Thankfully new owners fixed it up and now lots of people get married here! Sewing bloggers also can sometimes take pictures of their vintage dresses here as well! ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Hey everyone! I'm here to say I really did finish my crazy capsule wardrobe project! I decided to go ahead and document all the different combinations I could find. Supposedly there are 96 different outfits that can be made, but I only could think of 80. Let me know what I did wrong, although 80 combinations are still a lot for me! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The following is a photo dump of all my different outfits. I acknowledge that some are better that others and my construction is not perfect. However, I learned so much and I am so excited to start wearing all these outfits every day (I was saving them for this blog post because I didn't want any of them to possibly be ruined!).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Lately I've been doing so much sewing, and very little writing. Hopefully I can make up for that a bit by sharing other projects I have been working on this late spring/early summer! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The McCall Pattern Company had a contest for their M7542 shirt and I felt I couldn't resist trying it out! I made the top version in black actually second (of the two versions I made), but this has become a real staple of my wardrobe! I made it very plain and it has become very versatile! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I went for this version when I saw a gorgeous orchid sheer fabric at the store on sale and I knew I needed it! It's such a beautiful color! I was also very inspired by the dress Zooey Deschanel wears in the picture below. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This is not apparel related, but I got so sick of the eye sore of a couch in my front room that I just made up a slip cover for it. I just laid fabric around each part of the couch, safety pinned it, and sewed it together. Is it the most amazing sewing project ever? No. But it does make this room look a billion times better, which is all I care about!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Monika from @rocco.sienna on Instagram and a few of her friends held a "Sewing for the Summer" shirt dress challenge and I had to be apart of it. Long story short, I got this amazing red fabric from Mood during my very lucky trip to NYC. It was a dream to sew with and I love the color so much! I believe the pattern I used was M6696.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Renata from Runningstyle along with a few of her friends had a 4th of July Proud / Flags of the World dress challenge and I also really wanted to be apart of it. I got the lovely Suzon blouse from Republique du Chiffon and then added a dirndl skirt to make it a dress! Man, all those buttons were a labor of love! Yikes! But I love the way they turned out and they were also chosen by people on Instagram! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This project has taken me longer than I had hoped. I keep joining in on random sew-a-longs that pop up and I did pick a wardrobe formula with 12 garments to sew AND I picked challenging patterns and fabrics (for me) to sew with. So, this long wait is completely all my fault. However, as I keep saying, this project has been liberating! Maybe some would find it too confining to limit one's wardrobe to a few colors but it has freed me from wanting to buy everything. I needed that, guilty as charged!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hello again! I'm back, slowly getting to blogging again. It's been a very busy couple of months but I wanted to share some of my latest creations! First one is my Carnegie Hall dress. Why Carnegie Hall? Because I made it to wear to my brother's concert that happened at the real Carnegie Hall in New York City! My brother is a complete rockstar and it was a dream come true to see him do a fantastic job and see the Big Apple!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The two dresses above were major inspirations for my dress. I love this classic look!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">At the time I was still nursing my son, so I wanted a dress that would be cute yet nursing friendly. This would've been the perfect dress for that if I had only placed the zippers an inch or so lower!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> I really love this dress though, and I still wear it even though I'm not nursing my baby anymore (bittersweet!!!). The dress shape I feel is very flattering and I love the collar!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hello everyone! Sorry about the random blogging! I never know when I will get the chance to do anything, so I can't promise to be on a better schedule, but can you tell I'm feeling better and getting my groove back? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This April I worked hard to finish some projects and I can't believe I sewed nine (-ish) garments/items!!!! </span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Looking at all the cute vintage kids patterns I had collected but never used started to make me feel guilty. So I thought up an Easter "collection" for my kids! The first one I'm displaying is a mint gingham <a href="http://www.simplicity.com/simplicity-pattern-8306-childs-vintage-1950s-dress-and-lined-jacket/S8306.html" target="_blank">Simplicity 8306</a>. I LOVED how it turned out and I want one for myself! Someone pointed out that I made the empire waist line too high, and that is true, but I still like it!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I also learned how to sew a zipper properly from Allie J. on her instastories and I adore how (more) professional it looks from the inside!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So I foolishly didn't start sewing this pink dress until the night before Easter. I sewed from 11 o'clock at night until 5 in the morning, no joke. I can't believe I actually did it, and I don't recommend it! However, I really didn't want my one daughter to not have a special dress, since her sisters' dresses were already done. I didn't get to the pinafore though. I sewed that two weeks later and I adore how it turned out! The roses and ruffles are a sweet addition to the dress!</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This was a small project, but fun. I wanted an outside banner of sorts for Easter and I wanted it to be Spring like but also a reminder of what Easter is really about, so I made a lamb, because Jesus was the lamb of God! It is a sweet reminder to me of the Savior.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Forgive the grainy picture but I love this skirt! I finally did some selfish sewing and work on my capsule wardrobe. Using the correct fabric for a pattern can make a huge difference! I made this same skirt with a stiff jean and it was a flop, as I have mentioned before! But I love the colors of this skirt!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I also made up a Pussy Bow Blouse in the same fabric and I adore how it turned out! It's so feminine and the contrast of colors I think look great and work well for me. Also, florals are too much fun! I had to include them in my capsule wardrobe plans, which I hope to blog about more soon. Technically I finished the project in May, but I had cut it all out and started sewing it in April so I will count it still!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Finally, I also sewed two Colette Sorbettos that I already blogged about last month! My Moana shirt (because of the tropical print) and a mint gingham one with leftover fabric from my daughter's dress. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Wow! Thank you pinless sewing, nap time, and one all nighter for helping me get all this work done!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">(P.S.- I really don't suggest pulling all nighters! Be smarter than me and get sewing projects done early!) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Planing a capsule wardrobe has been a blast! It has come with plenty of editing and changing of plans too, on the other hand!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I found a better floral fabric and then decided to base the rest of my wardrobe colors around that. I have less colors altogether that I am working with but I think it works better! I made an Everyday Skirt in a denim fabric that was more thick than I originally thought so I took the skirt in some until I liked it. I added a scallop skirt I made a long time ago to the wardrobe and I made a Pendrell blouse that I think turned out fantastic (the fuchsia one above with the ruffles)!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I made a navy striped shirt that did not turn out! It was my first time sewing with knit fabric and even though I took it apart and resewed it a three times (!!!) it was still not right. It was too big and I'm tired of working on it now. I put it in my repair basket and perhaps I will try to fix it later, but maybe I won't! I made plans for another kind of shirt just in case.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Below is my updated plans for my capsule wardrobe! We'll see how it changes as I move forward but I'm liking the plans I've made so far. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">After all this you may ask, what is a capsule wardrobe? From the everygirl.com it says, "A mini wardrobe of really versatile pieces that you love to wear". If you are wanting to delve into the process of making your own capsule wardrobe, use the formula above (which can give you 96 different outfits) or look up Wardrobe Sudoku and use that method. The Wardrobe Architect series on the Colette Blog has been so helpful for me and I also loved the book <u>The Curated Closet</u>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">It's been fun to take a look back at all changes I've made trying to make a wardrobe that works for me. I hope this month that I can sew my floral shirt and skirt! Wish me luck! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I find the subject of family history endlessly fascinating. When I heard about Mrs. Hughes' <a href="http://tanyamaile.com/2017/02/27/announcing-the-dress-like-your-grandma-sewing-challenge/" target="_blank">Dress Like Your Grandma Challenge</a> where one gets to sew an item of clothing to recreate an ancestor's picture, I knew I had to join in! Sewing and genealogy?! Yes please! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I used the top of pattern <a href="https://butterick.mccall.com/b6212" target="_blank">Butterick B6212</a></span> <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I chose to make a copy of my Great Grandma Jackie's sweetheart shirt because I always thought it was so pretty and it was from one of the few family pictures I have. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My Great Grandma Jackie was a very different person than I am. She was very funny<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> and</span> popular. That information always intimidated me, a very introverted nerd! She was an extremely talented pianist and she was very fashionable.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">One fact about me is that Belle from Beauty and the Beast is my home girl. My soul sister. My spirit animal<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">!</span> What<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">ever you <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">want to call it. </span></span>She has been from 1992, that's how far back we go. We both have brunette hair, we both love books, we both want more than this provincial life, and we both fell in love with Beasts (ha ha, I kid, I kid! About the last similarity anyways... I love you Matt!).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My newest obsession is thinking about my "Winter Berry" capsule wardrobe and how I can do it justice! I don't want to spend a fortune but I don't want to compromise on what I really want since I will be sewing each garment. I want the right colors, the right mood, the right patterns, ect. I want it to be flattering for my coloring, body shape, lifestyle, budget, and most importantly my dreams! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">In my last <a href="https://www.craftsy.com/sewing/classes/sew-to-flatter-plan-your-best-wardrobe/58949" target="_blank">Craftsy class</a> I took, the teacher suggested first finding a print you'd like to wear and then gathering the other colors you'd like in your wardrobe. Well, I did it the other way around! I picked out the colors I wanted first and then tried to find a print I wanted that would match them. It is harder to find a print that way, and maybe the one above is a bit of a stretch for the colors I want, however I don't think it is very off base either. I was looking for a cool, not too bright or bold, small floral with pink, blue, and purple. This fabric is speaking to me! We'll see how I feel about it in a few months, but I think this will work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I always feel I don't get enough sewing in, but when I look back at the year, actually I have! I sewed all these outfits (just the fur wrap for the Cruella costume) and also two curtains, a plain black shirt,<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> a blanket repair, a refashioned button up dress,</span> a baby doll basket, a blessing outfit for my son, a red gingham bombshell swimsuit (<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">yes! a swimsuit!<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">),</span></span> a red polka dot Sorbetto top (it looked great on the dress form but terrible on me!), a <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Franken-pattern</span> two piece gingham nursing dress (another flop), three pillow case dresses, and a Christmas Nativity Sorbetto top. I even won second place in the Vintage Pledge Competition with my lemon dress pictured above (side note, that dress is NOT "a lemon"! It's one of my most favorite!). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I did do a lot of work on the Wardrobe Architect series in 2016 and found it fascinating! It really gave me so much direction and clarity about what I want to do with my sewing. Now I can walk through the fabric stores and instead of coveting everything, I can discern what is a good color/fabric/style for me!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">However, I am very unsatisfied by the colors and outfits I chose last summer. I bought the Craftsy <a href="https://www.craftsy.com/sewing/classes/sew-to-flatter-plan-your-best-wardrobe/58949" target="_blank">Class Sew to Flatter</a> and it was amazing! It had awesome tips about how to pick the right colors and styles to flatter <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">one's</span> body and draw attention to <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">one's</span> face, which I didn't realize should be the goal of fashion but it makes sense!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">From what I learned, I am very sure that I need cool colors and silver jewelry to really accent the coloring I have (dark brown hair, olive skin, blue eyes). I kind of already knew that but it was good to have it reinforced! I've decided the above colors are what I want to aim for (but I might also go for a emerald green, black, or light yellow!).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> These colors in particular I want to focus on. They seem like winter, berry sort of colors. Is it too cheesy that I think of them as "Winter Berry" in my head?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">In the class, the teacher also mentions a formula for having the fewest amount of clothes but getting the 96 different outfits out of them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Here is a basic sample of what she suggested while adding some specifics that I want to make for myself (these also correlate to my #makenine2017 found on my instagram account):</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> So I am sticking with navy, maroon, grey (darker than the photo), light <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">pur<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">ple</span></span>, and a light pink floral for my colors and fabrics. I think they vibe with my need for cool colors, comfort <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">while</span> chasing after kids, and the vintage/romantic/feminine style I hanker after.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Elizabeth from <a href="http://elizabethmadethis.com/" target="_blank">Elizabeth Made This</a> has put together a really cool sewing competition called the <a href="http://elizabethmadethis.com/the-day-and-night-dress-challenge/" target="_blank">Day and Night Dress Challenge</a>. To be apart of it, one must sew a day dress of any color and a night dress that is all black (I double checked with Elizabeth just to be sure!). I really enjoyed this challenge, and yes, worked really hard too! My house is a disaster and I will probably have to take a week off of sewing just to catch up on my chores! </span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> </span></i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I
am a big Project Runway fan but only in the last couple years figured
out what the judges mean by the word "cohesion". To put it plainly, it
means the same kind of person would wear all the clothes in one
designer's collection. Well, from watching all the amazing entries that
have come in for this competition, I must say everyone has their own
"cohesive aesthetic"! I hope mine does too! I love vintage, French style
things and maybe my dresses won't come across like that to everyone,
but I certainly am reminded of those things when I wear them! I love
these dresses and plan on getting a lot of use out of them! I used a
Frankenpattern hack of <a href="https://butterick.mccall.com/b6259" target="_blank">Butterick B6259</a>, <a href="https://mccallpattern.mccall.com/m7087" target="_blank">McCalls M7087</a>, and the sleeves of <a href="http://www.simplicitynewlook.com/2444/" target="_blank">Simplicity 2444</a>
to make my day look dress (a more modest copy of a Forever 21 dress
from long ago that I couldn't afford at the time but I never forgot). I
straight up copied the picture on the envelope of <a href="https://butterick.mccall.com/b6582" target="_blank">Butterick 6582</a> for my
night dress. I've always wanted to just take the artist's cues for
fabric on a pattern and I'm glad I got the chance to this month! I also
used Simplicity 2444's sleeves for the night dress, I just cut them a
little shorter.<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> Also, I am very proud of myself for yet again trying French seams! <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I love how they look!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">It was a very light sewing costume year for me, and I am okay with that! I sewed the faux fur white wrap that I wore and I tried to sew red gloves, but they were a major flop! I bought my wig, baby's costume, and three white shirts. I painted spots on the shirts for my girls and made them masks out of felt, elastic, and glue from my hot glue gun! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hello! It has been awhile since I posted, not because I didn't want to, I have just been SO BUSY. Being a mom is no joke. It's completely worth it and I ADORE my babies, but that also means sometimes life gets a little fast paced and non-essential things get left in the lurch. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">However I am so happy that I sewed a swimsuit! <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Good thing I got it done i</span>n September when it was starting to get cold and all the pools closed (I never seem to get something done in time for the right season)! Sewing a swimsuit was definitely a goal I was excited to check off my bucket list and I am pleasantly surprised by how much I like it! I used the Bombshell <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">pattern<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> in case anyone was wondering. </span></span>A gingham vintage style one piece is a must in my opinion!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">As I have <a href="http://sarajoliesews.blogspot.com/2016/08/belated-fourth-of-july-shirt_29.html" target="_blank">posted before</a> I adore holidays and I got a crazy idea to make a shirt for each one! I decided to give the Sorbetto top a try (it's from the Colette blog and it's free!). I added sleeves from another pattern and I love it so much! The fabric was a lucky find that I think is perfect! I love a cutesy, vintage Halloween look.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Years ago a friend wore and adorable Minnie Mouse-like top to a party and I thought it was amazing. She told me where to buy it and of course it wasn't there by the time I went looking for it. I never stopped thinking about how I could make it and I hoarded fabric for it for years. Well I finally decided to try a similar look with the Sorbetto top and I love it! I drafted the Peter Pan collar myself and now I want to make twenty more in all different colors! Also can I give a shout out to fashion fabric! Yes, I have finally grown up and discovered how fantastic it is to use <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">fabric mea<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">nt fo<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">r clothes on clothes<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">!

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Everyone has a strange quirk right? One of mine is the love of celebrating every holiday to its fullest, at least the major ones. Like Buddy the Elf for Christmas, but also Halloween, Easter, Valentines, and don't forget St. Patrick's day! Anyways, I always see these adorable seasonal fabrics and want to use them but really don't feel like making a quilt. So then I had a brilliant idea to use one of my favorite patterns, The Sassy Librarian Shirt, and make a subtle or not so subtle (depending on the cuteness of the fabric) shirt to wear! </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk38aMxnthPLMjA_Y7eHwGTL-S15bvFhDjnVNk5PQcWPHPzAwOW5ISAFAfFILGH15VYSmB4FFOqUt5O4CarQMIyMz9D69IR91SCB1idrFaySVhuKtljuSzin2vRl2lGtsZRMLt-5O9puE/s1600/IMG_20160829_190149029_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk38aMxnthPLMjA_Y7eHwGTL-S15bvFhDjnVNk5PQcWPHPzAwOW5ISAFAfFILGH15VYSmB4FFOqUt5O4CarQMIyMz9D69IR91SCB1idrFaySVhuKtljuSzin2vRl2lGtsZRMLt-5O9puE/s640/IMG_20160829_190149029_HDR.jpg" width="538" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I really tried to get this shirt done in time for the Fourth of July, which is kind of like the Christmas of summer (I would know, being a holiday connoisseur). I thought this "Sommer" fabric was a nice nod to the red, white, and blue and would be a good summer shirt. Then life happened and I could not for the life of me make any progress on it, simply from a lack of free time.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVg91GvWEAnGNRCIMiHHVkQ3J9huH8hisCRfAm7bN97nXmFfD1mEiVohvU6bMy8lIbLouLf0Vcks2paTfcjg8rQN-7fbkNYpO5OyN5-v7AlcaywPqhnmHc4K5SQGcZm5r8aa7FgBnhCQA/s1600/IMG_20160829_190129838_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVg91GvWEAnGNRCIMiHHVkQ3J9huH8hisCRfAm7bN97nXmFfD1mEiVohvU6bMy8lIbLouLf0Vcks2paTfcjg8rQN-7fbkNYpO5OyN5-v7AlcaywPqhnmHc4K5SQGcZm5r8aa7FgBnhCQA/s640/IMG_20160829_190129838_HDR.jpg" width="422" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Then the Olympics rolled around and I thought maybe I could get it done in celebration of that!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Nope.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Finally, the planets aligned and I got this blessed shirt done! I surprised myself and made the shoulder seams larger. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I also made the executive decision that although this pattern is precious and lovely, it is a time consuming one. Free time is something I don't have a ton of so I am going to stick with my crazy holiday shirt plan, but use a less complicated pattern.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">When I saw this fabric I fell in love! The lemons are perfect and the teal color is so fun.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">It's birthday season at our house! I always try to make a "dress up" for each of my kids. I usually try to make something I would've wanted as a kid, which isn't always something a parent should do, but it's worked well for costumes so far.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I found a dress I really liked for $3 (yeah!!!). It was just a bit too short for me so I bought another dress just like it and then cut off the skirt from one to add to the other. Voila! Magical longer skirt!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Me Made May was difficult for me to be apart of this year. My body just doesn't want to snap back from having a baby!

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Of course, I had a hard time narrowing down my colors. I thought for sure I needed more staples in black, white, and navy, but I want more greens, yellows, and blues in my wardrobe. Hot pink and red are also favorites so I want to incorporate them too! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">When it comes to beauty and hair, I want something pretty and classic, yet easy and minimal. I'm enjoying having long hair right now and intend on keeping it. Someday when my life calms down I want to try bangs! Yes, big Zooey Deschanel ones! Probably when I do it'll be out of style! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I love prints! They can add a lot of interest to clothes.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt60FNhaPTJVh5juiKxQzqvWl3rkuVTY2A9TUDfjXZbAPHsoijeBGzMXXHV2ZO1469YaNoEPLGxMeuvPGVYU9hI8O_VYR-uQiYWd9WYqBf01ZmbRagQ6PUCY6WvVZqncrZ-GWWHx4kQLc/s1600/wanoveltyfab.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt60FNhaPTJVh5juiKxQzqvWl3rkuVTY2A9TUDfjXZbAPHsoijeBGzMXXHV2ZO1469YaNoEPLGxMeuvPGVYU9hI8O_VYR-uQiYWd9WYqBf01ZmbRagQ6PUCY6WvVZqncrZ-GWWHx4kQLc/s640/wanoveltyfab.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I am such a sucker for a fun novelty print! They can be really fun on kids clothes but they can also look really busy and overwhelming on an adult, in my opinion. I feel kind of childish when I wear them, depending on the print. Also, too many novelty prints can be hard to match with other clothes.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I do think that less is more and a good polka dot may look more plain on a bolt but it is adorable once made into a garment!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Plaids are another favorite! I think the tartans look great on fall/winter clothing and the gingham looks great in spring/summer apparel, but again, that's just my opinion.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I love love love florals! They are so feminine and I can't believe I haven't incorporated more of them into my sewing! That needs to change.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I did leave out geometric prints. I think they can look nice on others but I really don't like them on myself. It probably has something to do with my aversion to math!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I love this wardrobe architect project and I am really starting to get inspired! This slow, week by week set of posts helps me think about what I really want to do, even when I don't exactly keep a weekly pace up! ;) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Following the outline of <a href="https://blog.colettehq.com/wardrobe-architect/week-6-organizing-your-palette" target="_blank">this</a> post I took into account all the colors I like wearing that would look good with my skin tone.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The first line are the neutrals I love. This made me realize I should say good bye to my brown skirt I never wear!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I am not an expert but I would say that these colors could be considered "near neutrals"</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> Oh glorious pinks and reds, you are the accent colors I love!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I'm excited to go through this process and figure out how to improve my sewing/wardrobe!</span></div>
