Other church services, I generally wear slacks. So, I don't NEED that many dresses. Right now, I have some languishing that don't get worn much. I, too, am trying to get on track to sew "what I wear." That would include casual slacks, jeans, capri's for the summer and "different" T-shirts. I have made a couple of blouses recently that I think I will wear, but time will tell!<br /><br />Since I have retired, the need for clothes isn't what it used to be. There are some days of the week that I don't leave home and stay in my comfy shorts/t's in the summer and elastic waist sweats/ slacks and long-sleeved t's in the winter.Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345674465845908156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072586494339347029.post-8139566788237179672009-10-05T23:45:56.488-03:002009-10-05T23:45:56.488-03:00I sew mainly skirts and knit tops and I wear them ...I sew mainly skirts and knit tops and I wear them all (but no sewing this year). I have found I don't wear the jackets I make much - maybe because I am not happy enough with them.

I find because I wear a uniform everyday I don't need an overly large civilian wardrobe and therefore tend to sew what ever catches my interest. (Mind you there is not much sewing going on over here this year :(<br />I want to change that though and maybe take on a mini swap wardrobe.<br />I'm just so behind in my sewing I'm not sure where to start at this point :)<br />When do you work next?Ann Made Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736679240367173915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072586494339347029.post-59392803611322464162009-10-05T14:41:09.758-03:002009-10-05T14:41:09.758-03:00Diana.- all lights fantastic, really. with regard ...Diana.- all lights fantastic, really. with regard to your question, I think the clothes must be practical, because that's part of elegance.BCN - UNIQUE designer patternshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13573001199286760935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072586494339347029.post-90174197511958877012009-10-05T13:43:04.225-03:002009-10-05T13:43:04.225-03:00LOVE that red coat!

So, like you, I make a lot of jackets, and now coats as well. Easy to wear over jeans :))<br />But I love couture sewing- and silk- so I make pieces that languish in my closet... until that special occasion comes along. And then I'm so glad I did :))Birgittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13085707175735448759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072586494339347029.post-40218608122480755092009-10-05T13:00:48.977-03:002009-10-05T13:00:48.977-03:00I definitely sew ONLY what I need.

I do find though that I make dresses, jackets and skirts the most because that's what I'm comfortable wearing!Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072586494339347029.post-55208787366506119372009-10-05T12:06:14.214-03:002009-10-05T12:06:14.214-03:00I pretty much only sew for my grands and other chi...I pretty much only sew for my grands and other children.

But, I'd have to agree that lifestyle is huge. I seem to settle on unusual tops, a la Sewing Workshop, Cutting Lines Designs, etc. that look good over pants and jeans and add some flair. I love jackets as well.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867886092638287390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072586494339347029.post-66162203495538057512009-10-05T06:32:51.767-03:002009-10-05T06:32:51.767-03:00I think it boils down to lifestyle.

I am thinking about a sort of SWAP for summer as I really don't have a lot to wear when the weather is hot. Like you I want to wear it, so it has to be practical.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622769905155059570noreply@blogger.com
