    McCalls 6750 – Palmer/Pletsch – A Crisp White Shirt

    February 26, 2020 /

    Hello all, A number of years ago, I focussed my sewing on wardrobe builders; items which are considered basics and which will mix and match not only with each other, but also with what I already had in my closet.  I did this for a year and really built up a solid wardrobe of very wearable items.

A few hours of this weekend were spent making a start on that goal with McCalls 7332. I bought the pattern a few weeks ago along with some lightweight navy wool from my local Fabricland.  Here is the picture from the pattern envelope:

    The Balancing Act of Sewing With a Plan and Wardrobe Building

    April 1, 2015 /

    Hello all, As a member of a few sewing groups and forums, and an active user of Pinterest, I find myself repeatedly drawn to threads and boards which speak about Wardrobe Building.  Until quite recently, I was like many others with a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear, or I would continually wear the same outfits while others were years old; never seeing the light of day.  I did a big purge with the intent of changing the way I shop and sew as sadly for me, the last donation I made to our local Goodwill included garments that still had the sales tags attached.
