Building My Capsule Wardrobe

Описание: I’m adding two more pieces to my handmade capsule wardrobe! In this video, I sew the Jade Pants and the Dove Sweater from Dressmakingamore.com
. You might remember I already shared the Jade pants before, but this time I’m showing you how to hack the pocket design—switching from a basic sideseam pocket to a sleek angled pocket.

Along the way, I share some of my favorite tips for sewing with knit fabrics, plus I’ll show you where I source deadstock fabrics for sustainable sewing. Both patterns are beginner-friendly and perfect for building a comfortable, stylish capsule wardrobe.

If you’re looking for sewing inspiration, pattern hacks, and eco-friendly fabric ideas, you’ll love this project!
