    You’ve really upped your video portion of this seasonal offering. I really love seeing all the different pieces on you. I know you’ll find that really helpful. I have a friend who had a bulletin board in her closet with pictures of her in lots of different outfit combos. Such an easy way to make getting dressed even easier.

    • @TomKatStitchery
      @TomKatStitchery  8 месяцев назад +1

      That's a great idea too! there are a lot of apps available for your smart phone that you can also put a picture of all your clothes in and then mix and match!

    Your wardrobe is absolutely gorgeous! I have way too many clothes and can’t seem to cut back, but I’m going to sell my house and this is the perfect opportunity to box up 3/4 of my clothes to show off my closet and make it look bigger. I’ll use your example to just keep one capsule wardrobe in my closet.

    • @kathygann7632
      @kathygann7632 8 месяцев назад +1

      I just love your shoes and purses. Your mom brought back a purse from Italy? It is so big to add to luggage! Extra points to her!

    • @TomKatStitchery
      @TomKatStitchery  8 месяцев назад +1

      That is such a good way to pare down to a capsule! Good luck on the sale!

      @jojobtrcook1808 8 месяцев назад +1

      You might think about placing your items of clothing in color groups, like the rainbow. This makes it easy for the client’s eyes to glide across your clothes and see the expanse of the closet. Eyes like order & it helps so much.

    Beautiful wardrobe! I am sewing basics. I realized that I have nothing that makes me feel joyful in my closet. The things that I reach for are comfortable but nothing that tells my story- . Meanwhile, here in Coastal Bend area of Texas it is 77degrees with 98% humidity and no breeze! I enjoy learning about your seasons and how you dress for them. Thank you for sharing and for your hard work. Have an awesome day!

    SUCH a beautiful colourful collection Whitney. I'm just loving that blue! My Autumn/ fall plans are under way, picked my colours and have a few pieces from last year already. I'm bringing in red this season which is not usually a colour I wear alot but seeing as it's trending, why not? Yesterday at craft group I started cutting out a shirtdress in a lovely tercel print from Nerida Hansen - Coyote and Lion which is going to be a Jenna shirtdress and I have three solid colours and one striped fabric that will be Jenna shirts. I have some knit dresses to make up as they will be easy for me to wear after I have my hip surgery in March and I want to get going on the pants side of things also preferably before my surgery. I'll be make the majority of my wardrobe as the closet is still very sparse but it's good to build on it each season as eventually you can draw more and more from it. As for the pink and white striped fabric, I did see some jersey with this stripe in an online shop here in Australia. The stripes are narrow though so not sure if this will meet your needs. I think it was Wattlehill fabrics that has it. If this helps at all.

    • @TomKatStitchery
      @TomKatStitchery  8 месяцев назад

      Thank you for the tip on the fabric. I'll continue my search. Best wishes for a smooth and uneventful surgery and recovery. Make sure you get rest and follow the doctor's recovery plan and you will be back at it in no time.

    • @TomKatStitchery
      @TomKatStitchery  8 месяцев назад

      Thank you so much! I'm excited to play with this blue as well. I have a feeling it could also end up in my Summer capsule as well! Good luck with your hip surgery! I hope your recovery goes smoothly and quickly!

    • @TomKatStitchery

    Loving all your spring colors this year! Glad you brought back some from previous years, like the I2S Foz and your floral Cashmerette Vernon. I want to pull out some lavenders (it is a bit hard to find though) for my spring wardrobe, it’s one of my favorites and several shades on my color card. I love all the fun colors in your accessories too. One of my favorite looks you showed was the dark jeans, floral top and bright shoes!

    I usually don't follow fashion trends or stick to a set wardrobe but I do bring out my spring wardrobe and add a few pieces to it along the way. The colors I'm looking to add this year are lavender / lilac, some sage / pistachio green and some salmon / coral. Those seem to be the colors in fashion. I did just get a cute pair of short white faux leather boots. I'm really looking forward to wearing them. And I picked up two pieces of knit fabric from Jo-Ann's and that I plan on making into an Easter dress. It is a sage green knit with a Mother goose pattern on it. And a coordinating pink cable knit that I want to make into a cardigan cover up. When I saw the fabric I instantly thought kindergarten teacher fashion. And I'm looking forward to it. I think the dress will be shaved similar to the last one you displayed. I'm also petite so it'll be mid-calf length which looks maxi on me. But I will do the sleeves short. Perhaps cap or butterfly. And the sweater I think I'm going to add flounces to the elbows. And probably a lace collar. I'm still working on the design.
    I do like all of your fashion choices. They are very colorful and flattering on you. That deep salmon / coral color was one of my mother's favorites. Her birthday was April so she loved spring fashion. I inherited that from her.

    For your Breton style tee, please look at the Sinclair Patterns Adele Boatneck top. The neckline is so flattering, and really ups the style of a plain tee shirt. I've made 4 of them so far.

    I have a lot planned. Feb 26 '24, I finished a stable coat Simplicity 8468 view A (modified w/ poly lining) in navy denim -- McCall's M8148 pleated trouser (on the cutting table). I also plan to work up a vest View C. And also two addition pair of pleated trousers.
    Four tops are next:
    Simplicity S9681
    Simplicity 1013 R5
    Butterick B6070
    Butterick B6099.
    One casual pant suit:
    Burda Style 5935--jacket and pull-on in coral ponte roma pants. I also plan a second pair of ponte in plaid print.
    And one tunic shirt dress:
    Simplicity S8983 R5 paired with my designed leggings.
    Plowing in until I reduce my stash.

    Whitney, I absolutely love how the largo/legato jeans look on you. The fit looks perfection! I’m kinda of sorry that you’ll distress them, but you need to do what makes you happy.
    Regarding the Sew Expo, I wish I could go this year to meet you. I’ve been a follower since your channel first began. I live in California and have wanted to go for the past several years, but instead of enjoying the expo I’m getting a knee replacement on Monday. It would be wonderful to hear your take on it.

    I am a sunlit spring, but a couple of the colors are not me and I talked to my “helper” at ColorGuru and she also believed I can use some of the colors in the copper spring too. I,also have been wearing the orange/reds, turquoises, yellows, lime greens, etc! I also suffer from depression, so the end of winter is HORRIBLE for me! I’m over it now, but you are so right- color makes me happy!!! What is funny is that many of the colors I already had items to wear. So I wasn’t surprised to find out for sure what were my colors. I have lost my cards, 🤯, but I had taken pictures of them so I still have a reference.

    My opinion on the jeans(as if you care), I would leave them alone. The dark wash makes them very dressy and appropriate for Almost any occasion. If you distress them, it limits how you would wear them. Off my soap box.

    It would never occur to me to wear a graphic tee with a satin bias skirt! I’ve been really hemming and hawing over the satin bias skirt because I love the look, but I can’t make it work with my current wardrobe pieces (and also, I know that when I make bottoms without pockets I never wear them). I may reconsider. Very fun video.

I'm a new subscriber (obsessively binge watching your videos) and I can't help but try to see close-ups of the ring on your left hand. I went to college in Northern Indiana and my school has a very unique ring that a lot of students get before graduating. Your ring looks like my college ring so I was just wondering... I hope this doesn't cross into nosy-ville. I'm definitely not trying to ask for personal details you aren't interested in sharing publicly! Thanks for all you do here!!!
