Hmm, this might be one I can participate in! I think my wildcard will be my electric blue wool coat that I've just started on.
As for the others, I've recently lost weight and am shortly to be starting a new job and need lots of new work clothes!
Torn between the 1 RTW being either jeans or a jacket. I'm not much for making the kind of tops I like to wear (lightweight silky blouses) but I do have plenty of fabric bought for this purpose so it might be a good excuse to force myself to! Also planning to try and only use stash fabrics, though we all know how that usually works out!
Rough plan, will probably change!!
Wildcard - electric/cobalt blue wool/cashmere coat
Group 1
RTW skinny jeans
Cross-over top - either grey & teal crepe from my stash or a nice silk voile I'm coveting online...
Cardi in a black jersey with gold stag's heads
Group 2
Slim leg pants in black stretch gabardine
Long sleeved shirt in black & white striped crinkle chiffon
French blue waterfall front blazer or black & white striped blazer (will probably make both then decide which one to include)
Group 3
For this group I'm going to do something different...
I have a half finished black pinstripe dress with a peplum (at the waist) that I'm going to finish as a separate top and bottom...
Meaning I can wear it as a dress, the skirt with a different top, or the top with the pants from group 1.
Black silk sleeveless blouse (or maybe the 3/4 sleeve version)
So for this group, the "under" would be the skirt, and the two "overs" the peplum top and the blouse, does that work?
Lots of black in here but we're on our way into winter and a typical winter outfit for me is black palette with a pop of colour. Oh and each article in each group should work with most things in the other groups too, the exception being if I make the cross over top in the grey & teal fabric.
Lots of sewing in my immediate future! Hopefully I can have this all finished well before the deadline as I'll be needing it in the next couple of months!! Oh and I have a velvet evening dress to make for August, too...
