Sewing with a Plan

I have been perusing through my stash thinking about whether I want to be challenged with making another "wardrobe".  Turns out navy blue is a dominant color in my current fabric selection, and I have definite ideas about what I want to make with some of these. 

So I think I am going to take the plunge and sew up a wardrobe of ten items (4 tops, 4 bottoms, 1 topper, 1 free choice) with a base color of navy blue.  I plan to use red, cream, and gold-tones as accent colors.  If I make the deadline, I may enter it in this contest.  In the mean time, I hope you don't get sick of these colors.  You'll likely see a rogue outfit over the next six weeks as well, so I don't grow tired of these colors either!  Tomorrow I plan to post the first outfit made with Burda 7487.  I just fell in love with the top and pants you see here.  Have a lovely weekend!

I love navy. And I'm curious to see the "rogue outfits" you come up with, he he.

it will be fun to see what you do with this! I have quite a stash too that needs to be sewn. I really like the waist detail on the blouse in the top picture. Of course one needs a fun, flouncy bow!

I so need to sew with a plan... maybe I can take inspiration from you!
I am going through a navy/nautical phase, so of course love your fabrics, particularly the parasol print - adorable!
Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Your fabrics look great, and I adore watching a SWAP take shape! (I'd love to make one, but am so ADD when it comes to sewing plans...)
