Part 1: Inspired wardrobe planning with Elliott Berman Textiles Fabrics
Vacation sewing in the summer is always the most fun for me because I have time to create inspired-by wardrobes. Last summer, I read all about Chanel and created a summer/early fall wardrobe based on the books I read and designer collections. This summer, I decided that Gucci and Elliott Berman Textiles would be my inspiration. Sewing in the summer does have an additional wrinkle for me, if you will. We spend much of the summer at our cottage (called a camp in Northern Ontario). This means that I don't have my projector and millions of notions, tools, etc at hand. It calls for a bit of planning ahead, for sure, but it is fun as it brings me back to my early days of sewing when I had limited resources at hand and learned to make do. I began by browsing the EB Textiles website and came up with some fabrics that looked like they would work well together. I was so excited that I put together a video with my new fabrics!
