Here was my Fall Wardrobe plan; in list form here’s what it looked like:
- Trenchcoat
- Sheath Dress
Draped Black SkirtLeggingsPeplum TopWhite T- Pussybow blouse
- Henly Shirt
Donna Karan draped Dress- Dress Pants
- Chanel Jacket
Out of the 11 items I was successful in making 5, plus I made a couple of items not on the list. I have a second pair of leggings and a sheath dress cut and ready to go….
I’m in desparate need of dress pants so I plan on making a couple and some work-y jackets. I also need a white dress shirt to pull some of these separates together. And I bought some gorgeous sweater knit with sequins begging to be made up. The trench may wait a bit as it’s such a big project…after the Christmas rush is over I plan to devote a couple of hours to updating my planning board & closet so I can make all of these pieces work together.
I love the pleasure of dipping my hands in my closet like it’s a designer boutique and pulling out wonderful clothing and accessories – all of which fit ME perfectly!!


I have just finished making my first pair or pants and a top that’s proving to be a good candidate for a TNT.. Can’t wait for my closet to become like yours – one that I can reach into and pull out designer stuff that will fit me very well!
Thank-you so much for the patterns! You’re doing quite well in knocking off that to-sew list.
