For all those wanting to create wardrobes, mini wardrobes, capsule collections, etc. - here is TSP's Sudoku sew-along. There are no deadlines, timeframes or restrictions.
Its fun and rewarding. You can incorporate RTW stuff you have, shoes and accessories and see where the journey takes you.
Post your grids/ideas/projects here, you can use them in upcoming competitions as well. The goal is to create coordinated wardrobes and/or mini collection for travel, occasions, etc.
1. You need to start from scratch because you lost weight, de-cluttered, got a new job, hate what you have in your closet? Start dreaming and do a full Sudoku
2. You have a number of orphans (including shoes) in your closet you like a lot, but don't wear because you don't really have anything that goes with them? Put them into a Sudoku grid and think about what you need to enjoy wearing them.
3. You have a number of coordinating garments and would like to build from there? Put them into a Sudoku grid and add what you need to have a complete mini wardrobe.
And then......... start sewing
Here is the basic gridAccessories can be anything from jewellery, bags, scarves to coats, vests, capes or jackets
Question: I wear mostly dresses, how can I make this work?Consider dresses as bottoms and anything you wear with them (jackets, coats, dusters, tabards, carries, vests....) as tops. That restricts you choice of accessories to jewellery, bags, scarves, etc. though.
Question: How can I incorporate jackets and coats when I do a top/blouse plus trousers/skirts grid?Here you can use jackets, coats, etc. as accessories - best to put them into the squares where they you get the most combinations out of them.
If it proves to be popular, we can run this as a kind of 'eternal' sew-along - a bit like the BOM at The Dark Side
