🍆 I chose aubergine/eggplant as one of my "cool neutrals" for my Curated Closet personal palette (the other is a gray). I wasn't sure how I'd pair it, or even if I had anything that color. Turns out I did! . . @cashmerette Montrose top paired with my @Burdastyle Plus cool red linen pants. Wouldn't have thought of this combo in a million years, even though the Montrose's vintage Japanese fabric has bits of red in it. . . . #curatedcloset #cooldeepwinter #montrosetop #cashmerettepatterns #burdastyleplus #linenpants #139Burda042011
Love how @lucky_sew_and_sew explains #DestashBaltimore below. Destashing lets me get down to fabrics I love, add fabrics from others that work better for me and spend time with other creatives. ⁠ ⁠ Tickets available on my profile as "get tickets" or go directly to DestashBaltimore.EventBrite.com ⁠ ⁠ **Pictured: Fabrics Renee bought, some from her first fabric shopping trip to NY, that just aren't 'her' anymore. All coming on March 14.⁠ ⁠ ----⁠ Reposted from @lucky_sew_and_sew⁠ ⁠ One of the many things I enjoyed about this event two years ago was seeing people find plenty of free fabric and patterns which was so liberating to use without the self-limiting talk about costs and beginner skills. ⁠ ⁠ So if you’re like me, buy a ticket so that you can bring all the excess supplies weighing you down physically and emotionally. And if you are a new sewing aficionado then buy a ticket and spread the word that this is the best way to build your “resource center” and boost your creativity. ⁠ #DestashBaltimore #baltimoresews #MDSews #marylandsews #charmcitysewcial
Destash Baltimore registration is open!⁠ Link above for tickets. ⁠ What is Destash Baltimore? It's a great big community drive fabric and fiber swap. ⁠ Come to lighten your fabric load or pad out your closet. Stay for the maker fellowship! ⁠ How does it work? Bring in and donate your unloved fabric, patterns, books and yarn. Then "shop" what others have brought in. ⁠ We've partnered with other organizations to take what's leftover. That simple! #destashbaltimore ⁠
I am really into @stylearc these days. The patterns are well drafted, on trend, in my size range and blessedly succinct instructions. This Besharl Jacket can work for a woven or knit and I used this gorgeous stretch velvet that @jasikatrycurious was generous enough to send along to me when she did a color palette cull.⁠ ⁠ I loooove this fabric and color! It's a deep blue, so one of my primary colors. It's embossed with paisley flourishes which provides visual interest. It's just so luxe!⁠ ⁠ We left for a warm weather vacation this week and I wanted a topper for evenings if/when it was cooler, or indoors with too much a/c. Second photo is just the interior, which I serged for neatness.⁠ ⁠ Hoping to get some photos on me this week, but still like to capture garments on my grid for posterity.⁠ ⁠ Made a size 16 and graded the hips out by 4"/ two sizes and added length for a bit of an FBA (I didn't want the front riding up). My only complaint are the pockets. They are too far bac to really stick your hands in. But, totally fine location for holding things like rich lady peppermints.⁠ ⁠ #BesharlJaacket #Stylearc #stretchvelvet #richladychic⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
Like @jasikaistrycurious says, once you have a color palette, the clothes just seem to come together. . . .Here are garments I've made over the last two years. A blue based Clear Red is one of my three main colors. A silvery gray is a neutral, and the yellow accent/trim at the collar is am accent. . . I don't *think* I've put this together before, but when packing, I saw it could work for me. Pardon my linen pants wrinkles. We did a bike ride around Miami's Little Havana and I rolled my pants up for four hours. Still got bike chain grease stains on them. Harumph.. . .

Burdastyle 9-2018 No. 108. It's a loose fit sweatshirt with an interesting sleeve design. The sleeves somehow remind me of shrimp 🍤 with the way they curve 🙃.⁠ ⁠ I guess this means I've also started some spring sewing? Fabric is from a DKNY collection and purchased when visiting Dallas a year ago with @fauxgetaboutit.⁠ ⁠ Curated Closet isn't just about colors, it's also about defining your style and wardrobe needs. So, this is a 'work from home' and "run around on the weekend" garments. ⁠ ⁠ Colors: YES. Red is one of my main colors. Stripes are one of my favorite prints and high contrast is my jam. So, all the boxes ticked. ⁠ ⁠ Pattern runs size 36 - 46. I'll have more notes on alterations and stuff when I get a photo of it on me.⁠ ⁠ #burdastyle #burdastylemag #109Burda092019 ⁠#curatedcloset
