Some of these items might not what you or I want in our wardrobe but it was a great visual concept to see how to get the most out of our wardrobe and our sewing. Makes me thnk about my garments in an entire new way.
You can head to the Nate link above and check out each outfit.
Love these kinds of wardrobe planning things...Now, if I could only stick to them! I find I want too many things!
ReplyDeleteShould we have a Basic Wardrobe sew-along?
ReplyDeleteI think a sew along is a GREAT idea! I'm missing quite a few items on the must-have list. I've always wanted to have a plan for my wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteHow clever!!! And I would definitely be in on a Basic Wardrobe sew-along. Well worth the effort...
ReplyDeleteCool post. Fun thing is that many of these pieces could be sewn.
ReplyDeleteI watched that Nate show....and like you I save them up on the DVR to watch when I have time! My son teases me that I take up too much DVR space "with all those 'Nate' shows!" LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas on expanding our wardrobes to get the most wearability.
