Have you heard about Sonya Philip<\/a>‘s project, Summer Stitch Fest<\/a>? It is all about making a handmade wardrobe. She is hoping to get people sewing, knitting, whatever, next weekend, July 29, 30, and 31, then posting online with the hashtag #summerstitchfest16. I am planning on participating and to warm up, I pulled out everything I’ve made so far this year and photographed it to show you. I tend to make a bunch of stuff when I am going to travel or have an event and then nothing for a long while. All the pics are things I made right before I went to LA in April.<\/p>\n

The simplest first- a linen scarf. I actually made 2 but I couldn’t find the other one today! These are super easy to make. The one I couldn’t find is made of a drape-y shot cotton. I bought 2 yards, cut it down the middle the long way, zig-zagged the edge with a variegated thread and done! This one is seamed in the middle because I only had one yard but I wanted this color.<\/p>\n

Next is my favorite skirt pattern, Oliver & S Everyday skirt<\/a>. This is the 4th one I’ve made. Easy, comfortable, pockets. I love it.<\/p>\n

Next, a linen shirt. I bought this linen at IKEA, a while back. I think it was meant for curtains but it makes an excellent shirt! This shirt has a pocket because I want pockets in everything. This is the second shirt I’ve made of this pattern. This and the next things are all made from patterns that I drafted from favorite clothing that wore out a long time ago.<\/p>\n

And 2 smocks\/dresses. I wear this style most of the time, with long and short sleeve shirts, over jeans or skirts. They both have 2 side in-seam pockets.<\/p>\n

I think this one looks a little like a Brownie uniform!<\/p>\n

I could only find one photo of me wearing any of these things. Here I am in LA last April.<\/p>\n
