After making the initial brown column, I made the Marcy Tilton jacket (V8839) in ponte knits. Then I was stuck. So I returned to the column and make a brown striped skirt from another Marcy Tilton pattern - 8561. So then I had two 3PACS and and I was stuck.
Finally I grew the gray and brown PAC to 5 pieces:
- fitted brown pants
- fitted brown shell
- jacket in brown and gray ponte knits
- eDress, also in brown and gray ponte knits
- gray ponte knit shell
And the gray and white PAC grew to 6 pieces:
- fitted brown pants
- fitted brown shell
- brown and white striped skirt
- brown and white jacket
- eDress in coordinating poly knit
- shell in same coordinating poly knit
The final test is this - what just hangs in the closet and what is worn? I have a hunch it will be mostly the set with linen. I just love linen.
I love all these pieces, and it is so interesting to see them as collections. Thanks for this post as I am easily distracted lately in my sewing. I am working on a black/gray/3rd color wardrobe but it still too warm for my plan...:-)
ReplyDeleteWow! Quite impressive to have worked out a 5Pac and a 6Pac! The linen pac is especially appealing.
ReplyDeleteLove both 'Pacs'! Hopefully it will all get worn...
ReplyDeleteSo now you have a SWAP of sorts! I love your fabric combinations.
ReplyDeleteLove your swap pieces. The colors are so perfect for so many combinations. What a success; give yourself a pat on the back for me.
ReplyDeleteWell done! Almost a double 6-pack, with crossover potential. Like you say, the true test in any sewing endeavor is seeing what gets worn.
