Monday: Upcycled Old Navy top
Tuesday: Jane Seamwork Top
Wednesday: Colette Violet top under Sewaholic Fraser sweatshirt
Thursday: Nope
Friday: Nope
Saturday: Nope
Sunday: (No IG post) Hayden top
Reflection:
This week, I did what I previously thought was impossible: I think I figured out my style. I'm casual. The best fit for my style seem to be Seamwork patterns. I love the magazine, and the basics provided are a stylish basis to grow an outfit via fun fabric choices. The Hayden top is becoming my go-to dress it up or dress it down look. There will be more, and I have a Sorbetto top cut out with a big plan for it. (To come later in its own post).
I completely agree with So, Zo on the toughest part of the project: posting. I feel like a terrible Millienial because I didn't like posting a photo of myself on Instagram. I began to really favor what Heather from Closet Case Patterns did: post to the story. For me, it's way less pressure to have clothing not have my face with it. I watch my student post selfies (and they think I don't see it) on Snapchat every day, and I don't know how they have the self confidence or necessity to do that.
I think future posts will focus on the pieces more than me. And I'm great with that. Also, just as a disclaimer, the days I missed wearing anything handmade were days where I was doing messy things. I am still very cautious to wear homemade stuff because of the work that went into making it when I have to do work around the yard. I think as I make more, this will change.
