Here's my entry for SWAKOP.
I didn't end up getting the last two garments done, so what I showed on the rack earlier is what has made the final cut - I have just managed 4 in each group, plus the bridging garment.
I don't tend to use commercial patterns, so can't give any references. There are some descriptions of the groups on the photos, so I won't repeat myself.
Here are the photos of several of the looks I can generate from these garments. They are also working in well with last year's collection, so I'm super happy.

And here is the group photo - sorry, I haven't adjusted these for colour - they are more like the colours shown above than they are here.

Looking forward to the mini SWAKOPs for next year - while I still have a lot of stash fabric to get through, these last two major collections have filled up a lot of holes in my wardrobe, so I won't have such a pressing need for so many garments in future. Glad I pushed myself to get it done, as I have been putting a lot of pressure on last year's garments - this group is already making a big difference.
Thanks Manuela and all the crew here at The Sewing Place. Without you guys, I'd probably not have even managed to get my sewing machine out this year. You're an inspiring bunch.
