Spring Wardrobe Collection

This is a collection of clothes I have made for myself over the years but there is no rhyme or reason. This spring I would like to challenge myself and make a spring collection. With dresses, tops and bottoms all coordinating so they all can be mixed and matched together. What fabric collection would you choose if you where going to make your own spring wardrobe collection? I like different blues but I would also like to try new things. What patterns would you use? I complied this mosaic together to see what patterns I have used over the years.  This is good because I can see that I don't have a good pants/ capris pattern yet and I am in need of finding one.





































1. Coffee Date Dress, 2. Easter Dress, 3. Washi Front, 4. Washi Tunic with Tova Sleeves, 5. Denim Washi Dress, 6. Skirt (5), 7. Close up, New Skirt Simplicity 2211, 8. Skirt (2), 9. A Wrap Dress for me!, 10. Charlie Bag, 11. Colette Iris Shorts; http://sewspoiled.blogspot.com/2012/05/colette-iris-shorts-review.html, 12. Wiksten Tank, 13. Wiksten Tank Shirred, 14. New Sew Spoiled Tulip Blouse, Fabric Jo-Ann's by Leah, 15. Blossom Shirt, 16. Wiksten Tova Blouse, 17. Wiksten Tova Dress, 18. Finished!, 19. Porfolio Dress (1), 20. Bloomers, 21. Heather Bailey t-dress front, 22. T-Dress bow, 23. Schoolhouse tunic, 24. Amelia Shirt from froglegsandponytails, 25. PJ capris, 26. The Jacket, from Chic and Simple Sewing, 27. Afternoon tea jacket Pattern, 28. New Skirt close up, 29. Burda Swimsuit, 30. Shirred Mommy Dress
I have pinned tons of ides on Pinterest, I can't wait to get started. I think I will start with colors and fabrics first. Then choose the sewing patterns for my collection. Of course every great collection has accessories and I will be making some Sew Spoiled Goodness to go with my fun filled wardrobe. 
I could use some advice....
What fabrics/colors would you start with?
What pants/ capris sewing pattern would you recommend? (especially for petites?)
Thanks for your help!

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work.  Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper  Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped  key fobs  with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template  PDF.  Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.  Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later....
