SWAP Sew-A-Long 2012!

I have decided that I am going to participate in my first sew-a-long! This is so I can focus on fitting and top cutting corners and I also would really like to make my own wardrobe and not just a million nightgowns (they are ever so comfy though). I'm doing it through Artisan's Square and it is called Sew With A Plan (SWAP 2012 ) SWAP 2012 Info.  It begins Dec 26th and I have until April 30th, 2012 to make a total of at least 11 pieces of clothing.

The RULES:

Choose any seven garments from this list:

Button Down Shirt w/Collar         
Blouse or shirt   (collar is optional)                 
T-Shirt           
Vest                                
Overshirt 
Dress                       
Jeans
Trousers       
Shorts or Capri Pants       
Skirt                     
Coat  (suit or sport coat)
Overcoat or Raincoat     
Bathing Suit & Coverup 
Jacket (jean jacket, windbreaker, hoodie, etc.)


From those seven, choose four to make twice for a total of 11 garments that will work together.   Those four may either be repeated garments from the same pattern, or one each from two different patterns.


The photos may be on you, on a dress form or any other way which shows them well.

You should show how you plan to combine tops and bottoms, and together should show everything. You’ll probably need to photograph some bottoms more than once.

Composites will be allowed, but only if they show details of the same outfit, e.g. a back view, a close up or the “before” photo if you are recycling. You may not show two different outfits on the same photo; such photos won’t be posted!

A single photo showing all the items together will be allowed but not required.

Please number your photos and then add a brief note to describe each one and when you plan to wear it, e.g. 1) Pink cotton Jalie top with khaki  poly/cotton BWOF pants; weekend shopping.


Luckily I can make muslins for any item I like which is AWESOME! So, what shall I make?

Blouse or shirt   (collar is optional)

Dress   

Skirt

Coat  (suit or sport coat)

Jacket (jean jacket, windbreaker, hoodie, etc.)

Overshirt 

Overcoat or Raincoat  

Now to choose the patterns!! Very excited!
