Spring wardrobe sewing: Wants and ideas

A.k.a. “If I could go shopping, this is what I’d buy, but I can’t, so I’ll dream about sewing it instead, but really, in the end, we all know I’ll end up wearing the same ratty Old Navy t-shirts I did last summer.”

In fact, two of those are sewing pattern images (the green coat: built by wendy; the other one a japanese sewing book [got to find the link]); the rest are from the gap, j.crew and old navy.

I have a few pretty versatile blouse patterns; that and a bolt of bleached muslin would get me most of the way to those white shirts. The pants pattern in Sew U would get me the bermudas and capris; and my own good sense and a ruler would get me the tote bag.

There’s no help for the yellow Chucks, though. Those I’m just going to have to shell out for.

I love stripes. and that’s, like, the world’s most perfect cap sleeve. Not too poufy, not too short, not too tight, and with that eensy buttonhole.
