I have 4 tops, 3 trousers, 3 layers and 1 coat which can be worn over everything.

Style Arc Molly in grey knit


Bottom Row

Black bengaline trousers New Look 6216
Tartan trousers with contrast side stripe and waistband New Look 6216.

Far Right
Simplicity 8467 coat with hood (lengthened)
I also made a few extras which I've not included officially in the SWAP but are in the same colourway.
Musical notes blouse from March 2020 Prima Magazine
Style Arc Marni jacket from scraps (won the scraps contest on The Sewing Place)
Viscose and jersey T top New Look 6216

And of course last year's jacket from McCall’s 7694
So a 16 piece collection in all.
I've had a lot of fun with it!
