Well hello you lovely lot!
How have you been? I’ve been a bit out of sorts – kind of ill, kind of not – annoying dizziness and stuff but I’m powering through and I wanted to get a blog out this week, before I slip back into my bad blogging ways!
I thought I’d update you on how I’m getting on with my Wardrobe Architect Challenge so far… and, well, let’s put it this way – most of the other bloggers doing it have been amazingly organised and regimented in their challenge and I have… not. I’m just not built that way!! But I have done bits and pieces… if and when I can…
I have cleared out my wardrobe! I took out all the pieces that –
- have fitting issues
- never got worn
- aren’t me or fit into my core style
I have filled in all the worksheets about my
- Core style
- Preferred shapes
- Colour charts
My colour palette is so predictable… 😉
I have designed some simple collages of my core style, shapes and colour:
And
I have been sorting through all my fabric and patterns so that they fit into all the above!
So not too bad and I am learning a lot from it and loving my more streamlined wardrobe.
In other news… I totally hit the sewing jackpot with my birthday presents this year – I love that my loved ones have really taken to getting me sewing stuff… yay! I got the new The Great British Sewing Bee: Fashion with Fabric
(which are changing my life with their ingenious storage solutions) AND an incredible bumper trip to Abakhan fabric shop in Chester where I walked out with an obscene amount of unbelievable fabric… this place is SO CHEAP and SO SO GOOD! So now I need to have some time to sewwwwwww… I believe this Saturday has ‘sewing day’ written all over it!! 🙂
And that’s how all… for now!
