I’m adding a bold, rainbow plaid two-piece set to my Florida travel capsule using the Josephine pattern from Closet Core Patterns—and sharing all the fit adjustments I made along the way. In this video, I walk through my full bust adjustment, strap changes, pant rise tweaks, and why I stabilize linen (plus what went wrong when I didn’t cut my plaid single layer 😅). If you love colorful sewing, capsule wardrobes, and honest linen lessons, this one’s for you!
