I'll put mine in pictures! This is me wearing the olive pants I sewed for myself in June 2007, I felt reasonably pleased with them and posed with a happy smile - they had wide legs and an elasticated waist.
In June 2008 I was again inspired by the safari theme and sewed another pair of olive pants for myself. This time I used a slim leg pants pattern with darts and a zip, and this pattern is also 2 sizes smaller as well as more closely fitting. What a difference 35lbs makes!
I only need to lose 5lbs more to get into a healthy weight for my height, but I need to sew more clothes as nothing fits anymore. So for this reason vote for me :-)
OK I think I should win because I have lost 35lbs and have 5lbs to go, but I have sewed for the body I have now. My clothes fit me well and are practical for my lifestyle. The garments are constructed in a way that will allow me to alter them to fit when I get to my goal weight.

You rock!! Great collection, by the way, I really like that printed top a lot. And the safari style is just up my alley...
I am sure you´ve printed out those two pictures on one paper and have it sitting there right next to your kitchen table. Enjoy your achiement, girl!
Ruthie, you have the capsule / wardrobe concept down pat, and have really really nailed the concept.
I've enjoyed looking at your photos.
I also love the beaded accessories you made for this capsule.
Congrats on the weight loss - I'm just starting that journey - I found all that you've lost in the last year. ;)
