Christmas Mini Wardrobe

Well I really enjoyed sewing the 'Inspired by the Sea' collection but I have had enough of blue for a while.

So my next project is going to be a mini collection of festive clothes for the Christmas period. This is going to be based around antique gold, red and black. As a pear shape I need to wear the darker/plainer items on my lower body and have all the texture, print and colour on the upper body. This gives visual balance.

I don't have any formal parties to go to, but a few smarter separates would be useful for various lunchtime and evening events with my colleagues and friends.

I have a large stash and so want to sew using the stash as my main source so I shall go and look through my wonderful fabric cupboard now and come back with a few options.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK so a rummage through the stash produced a few pieces which could work really well for a mini Christmas wardrobe.

bottoms
black poly with clear threads which glitter only slightly when the light catches - drapey evening pants
black fabric with a slight dull sheen - more pants if there is enough fabric, otherwise a long skirt of some sort
black cord with red and gold embroidery and a few red sequins, a long straight skirt (simple style)

tops
antique gold crinkle satin - wrap over blouse
red slinky - a simple knit top of some sort (not a lot of fabric)
red/white/black print knit (not much stretch) - a knit top of some sort

and then if I am brave enough some beautiful soft red faux fur made into a little short jacket with black satin lining.
