#capsulewardrobe #project333
My winter capsule wardrobe will be up soon!
This design is adapted from Mood Sewcity's Cadia Shirt moodfabrics.com/blog/the-cadia-shirt-free-zero-waste-sewing-pattern
You will need 2 meters of fabric, min 115cm (45in) wide - it works best with a light-medium weight woven fabric (with some drape/not stiff).
Bias tape neckline sewing tutorial: youtu.be/qGlTTY1RPxQ?si=iLbTZoLE5S9mXwCZ
* This design *almost* zero waste - there is a little waste from the neck-hole and some from the hem.

I actually like many of their styles but will only buy them secondhand.
Watch Part 2 for the Triangle bralette comparison youtube.com/shorts/b7mLTNSCs1I
Bralettes were gifted to me from Subset but with no requirement for posting about them.
I love the practicality of having 1 bag for all my needs, that goes with everything, but you do have to be thoughtful with deciding what bag will work.

Also for the record this isn't about the person who did my color analysis, I actually think they had a great approach and did a good job. My criticisms are with the concept in general.
Update: It's been very interesting to read everyone's comments - thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences! Overall though the feedback seems to further emphasize how subjective color analysis can be.

It's very important to know what's in your seed blends and that it's appropriate for your area!
I like to use @westcoastseedstv blends because they list everything included ensure the blends are traced and checked for errant seeds.

Wasn't sure what to do with the spare closet in my office, so I created the perfect place to store my capsule wardrobe. And yes, painted it green. :P

Some ways we kept this bathroom renovation more eco-friendly (and more affordable) were by:
- Incorporating secondhand items
- Using leftover (deadstock) tile
- Painting with no-VOC paint
- Using natural materials like wood where possible
- Installing a water-saving toilet
- Cleaning and re-caulking the bathtub instead of replacing it (while the design fells a little dated it's overall fine and in good shape so we made it work!)
