Wardrobe in a Week

I've finished the Wardrobe in a Week tonight and created the composite photograph.

And here it is. Although there is only one navy knit top shown, I actually made two. One has a slightly wider collar than the other and has a really wide cuff (about four inches deep) on the sleeves. This was necessitated by a fabric shortage. I wanted to get two tops out but didn't have quite enough fabric to get the last pair of sleeves out, but did have some scraps. So I cut the sleeves as long as I could and took scraps and pieced the cuffs from those. Each cuff has a seam on the inside at the wrist. I only had enough fabric scraps to cut a pair of five inch cuffs and a pair of four inch cuffs. I put a five inch and a four inch piece right sides together, sewed the seam, then turned the cuff right side out and lined up the top raw edges ready to put them onto the sleeves. This brought the seam to the inside where it couldn't be seen and allowed me to get these wide cuffs out of what was really only a handful of random scraps. I would like to thank Ruth for the fabric... its another of the pieces of stash that she donated to me in February. Its found a very loving home here with me. The knit is incredibly soft and fluffy and comfy to wear. Mmmm. Warm and luscious. I've even accessorised Twiggy (my delightful and much loved dress form) with the necklaces that will be worn with the outfits and my most favourite red belt. I have red shoes to match, but Twiggy has no feet of course so she couldn't wear those. She was understandably disappointed not to be able to be completely accessorised...they are very smart peep toe slingbacks.
