After two months spent in the sun sewing and wearing solely shirred dress, it is about time to start thinking about my autumn wardrobe<\/b>! Ideas and patterns are all but lacking, I just need to get a bit organised – and find time to sit down at my sewing desk!!<\/p>\n

My summer and winter wardrobes are highly differentiated<\/b>, so much so that one stays in a box while the other one is out. In the spring and summer, I waer mostly short sleeve or sleeveless dresses, in cotton or other light fabric; while in the autumn and winter<\/b>, I get cold so easily that I need warm fabrics: wool, scuba, ponte roma<\/b>…<\/p>\n

On the fabric front, I took the opportunity of two months in France to order online a huge amount of wintery fabric from Bennytex<\/a> and Les Coupons Saint Pierre<\/a><\/b>, two favorites of French sewing bloggers. Not that they don\u2019t deliver in the UK but any excuse is good…<\/p>\n

On this basis, here are my sewing projects for the winter<\/b> – we\u2019ll see what gets done…<\/p>\n

1\/ A Lexi Top \/ mini skirt matching set, in a silver jacquard fabric from Bennytex<\/b><\/p>\n

Last winter I combined the\u00a0Lexi Top by Named<\/a> with a self-drafted mini skirt, in a red dotted jacquard fabric from Bennytex. The stifness of the fabric makes the skirt really stand out; and I love being coordinated! So I wore this set a lot. I am very tempted to replicate it in this stunning silver jacquard, from Bennytex too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2\/ A (wearable) black and white jacquard Emery dress robe Emery en jacquard animaux noir et blanc Ben<\/b><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Emery dress by Christiane Haynes<\/a> is one of my favourite long-sleeved dress patterns, even more so with a circle or a pleated skirt. I alread sew view B in this funky black and white jacquard from Bennytex. But big mistake: I sew the zipper on the side, which make the dress very difficult to put on and nearly impossible to taker off… So the next version with a zipper at the back, as instructed by wise(r than me) Christiane Haynes…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3\/ A light 3\/4 coat with a shawl collar, in a white and black wool\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I bought this wool online from Coupons Saint Piere, with nothing precise in mind. When I received it, its soft textre made me think of making a\u00a0Madawan Cardigan<\/a>\u00a0– and then why not transform it into a mid-lenght coat with a belt!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4\/ A sweater dress in a wool sweater fabric<\/b><\/p>\n

I love sweater fabric and I adore wool for the winter, so I just could not miss this opportunity of getting this one from Coupons Saint Pierre. I definitely will make a dress out of it but I still hesitate between reproducing one of my old dresses, which has become to short; or transforming the\u00a0Granite Sweater<\/a>\u00a0by Dessine Moi Un Patron into a dress, reducing its width and putting a belt. Thinking in progress…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5\/ More accessories in artificial leather<\/b><\/p>\n

I just adore those artificial leather fabrics – the silver one in particular reminds me of Issey Miyake handbags. I already saw two small pouches for my girls in the summer and got over-excited by the speed of these projects and how good they looked!! So more of these to come!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s about it for my autumn sewing projects for myself. What about yours?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
