SWAP Plan for 2012



Here is this year's SWAP Plan. It lacks a name because I can't think of anything suitable.


As always, my photos are a bit rubbish. Most of the fabrics wouldn't photograph under artificial light so I've added some coloured squares to give the general impression of the colours being used.


The plan marks a departure for me as it includes no black items at all, however, all of the items will work with three or more items in my existing wardrobe and some will work with considerably more. Most patterns are TNT. The exception is the dress and vest. The dress doesn't fit quite the way I want; the vest still needs tissue alteration and muslining. That is due to be done in the next week or two and hopefully this will resolve the matter of whether the dress or vest will be made for the SWAP. I am hoping that I can get the vest sorted really. I think it will be more versatile in the wardrobe than the dress. Though I lack a suitable fabric for the vest at the moment but I daresay I could force myself to look for a fabric for it. :)

Ooh Jenni, what a nice storyboard! The colours remind me of old fashioned sugared almonds. I can't quite believe you have no black and my collection is quite black heavy.

I love the colors in your SWAP. I am so impressed that a lot of your TNT patterns are Marfy. I have made a couple of Marfy patterns successfully, but planning out the sewing steps (because of no instructions) myself seems to make the process longer.
