Autumn Outfit Contest - 1 September to 31 October 2023

[Catllar]

I'm not in on this one. Got too much else on plate again.

[Starryfish]

I've changed my mind about my entry! I can't make up my mind about the jacket I was planning, and it will take time to make. I need to decide on fabric for it before the trousers and blouse so won't get done in time.
So I'm going to do:
1. Style Arc Carlisle jeans in mid blue denim
2. Long sleeve t in patterned blue jersey
3. True Bias Marlo cardigan in navy

Boring essentials for the coming seasons. I need new comfy clothes, as they get worn a lot.

So I've had a think and I have a few I want to start so i think i will do;

1) ready to Sew Pleat Assymmetrical pants  _ i was going to do the Phen wrap pants but I need more time!
2) The Makers atelier Big Easy top/ or TAL Elastic tie top - I have both patterns printed and ready
3) Sew house Seven Wildwood wrap  - I've got this cut in a lovely purple linen type fabric to try

I'm also going to make an outwear garmet, TAL vest in a houndstooth I have. 

Whether I manage or not is another question......

I though of the wildwood wrap when you were trying it that Caftan, @smurf44. I love the shape of it but do wonder how easy it would be to stride in.

@Ouryve  I’ve seen in one of the groups im in that it isnt so good in covering the pants. One of the girls said adding about 4 inches to the left side skirt (under). Helped a lot so i can going to attemp that. There are loads of bloody parts to it. That is this weekends attempt and also cutting out the fabric for the kaftan.

How's the autumn sewing going? I'm away on holiday so not sewing at all.

Despite thinking I wasn't going to be able to enter, I am  accidentally making an outfit, even if it's a simple one. Just finished some joggers and the ribbing I used turned out to be a better match for the Fielder top that I'm about to put together than my original plan.

Looks great

[Starryfish]

I have nearly finished a midblue T shirt to go with my blue denim jeans. Then I have a navy fleecy jersey cardigan cut out  to complete an everyday outfit!
If I get time I have a black cardigan and black and white T shirt ready cut out  to go with my Style Arc Spencer wide leg trousers.

Not going well at all  I've got sidetracked with the bookshelf quilt and I'm not in love with the jacket so no impetus to finish. The jeans are great though!!

[Tamnymore]

Yes I've been distracted by other things although I have cut out my autumn outfits. Still a couple of weeks to go!

Yve's accidental entry.


Closet Core Plateau Joggers in cotton French Terry from My Fabrics and Merchant and Mills Fielder Top in Merchant and Mills cotton/linen jersey.



After being forced to drastically change my autumn sewing plans, I didn't think I would be entering, this time. In my quest for much needed comfy clothes, I bought a load of French Terry, sweatshirt fabric and matching ribbing and this particular rib went much better with the jersey than what I already had set aside for it.


So, even though I wouldn't wear these items together unless I was going all out for the day pyjamas look, I think they very much count as an outfit.


The cotton linen jersey is rather shifty so, despite using lots of rulers and cutting single layer, I had to abandon any notion of excellent stripe matching.

[SewRuthieSews]

Very nice @Ouryve I think it a bit more sea salt than pyjamas,   so wear with PRIDE!

[Ohsewsimple]

Looks good @Ouryve    I wouldn’t try and match those stripes too much.  Too fine. 

[Starryfish]

Very nice @Ouryve !
I've finished a 3 pac so will get a photo, maybe at the weekend as the light won't be good tomorrow!
