Beautiful. The canary colored jacket is still my favorite. But it all works so well together. Great job!

Erica, it sounds like you are ready for a new challenge. Are you up for a sketching class? (I'll bet you can already do it.) Or, how comfortable are you with design? You seem to be the kind of person who needs a new challenge all the time, not a new version of an old challenge. Just thinking...Maybe, designing clothes is in your future.

He, Erica -- Beautiful work as always. I was wondering about the Vogue wrap dress. It looks like a pattern for wovens from the front of the envelope. If so, do you just go down a size to get the right fit? Also, what is the Kwik sew pattern number for the wrap dress? Thanks Susan

Hi Susan,
It's a pattern designed for knits. The Kwik Sew pattern is 3489.

Very pretty wardrobe. I really think yellow is a great colour on you. The wrap dress is lovely. I'm very pleased to see the Vogue top made up. I recently bought that pattern and was perplexed about the zipper, too, so I will go ahead and make it without. You have a wonderful eye for putting things together and this wardrobe is very stylish, as all your work is. Thanks for the continued inspiration.

Thank you Erica. A quick trip to Hancocks and I now own both patterns. Not sure which one I'm going to use yet. I was thinking about you as I was wandering Hancocks because you seem to always find such great stuff. I found the usual nothing....But I did find some great rayon knits at Joanns so i guess I cant complain too much !

It's a great mini-wardrobe...but I hear you completely on the obligation sewing. It's as if, once committed to a series of garments, the motivation to carry through goes "Zip", and is gone.
You've admirably pulled it off - the combinations are fabulous.
I love all of it, but especially the yellow jacket and that white knit top.
Now go sew something you're inspired to sew.

I just found your blog today! All I can say is WOW. I am starting sewing, and your site is very inspiring! I have gotten a lot of ideas from your photos and I'm glad you note the pattern brand and numbers, very helpful.
Thanks for the ideas, keep on sewing. I wish I did not have a full time job, then I'd be able to do more sewing!

Congrats to finishing your entry to the mini wardrobe contest. I love what I see. I too have wondered why some jersey patterns have zippers. Isn't more difficult to add a zipper in jersey?

I love your wardrobe! I went to vote for you but I haven't been a member long enough. Still, I think you should win after looking at all the entries (although the man's outfit is good too). You are inspiring to me--I've sewn since I was a little girl but not much in recent years.

Yellow is your color!! I understand the like/dread relationship with contests. The pressure of a deadline can zap creativity, but what a lovely mini wardrobe!

Erica,
Congrats on finishing your wardrobe! It looks great. I have yet to make that Vogue top, but it's on my list. And I have the same Vogue cut up and in cue! Good luck to you in the contest!

Great combination of garments, I like that you managed to incorporate a bright piece with the neutrals. The pants are my favorite piece.
