Perfect Summer Layering | Handmade Wardrobe
Let's sew and style the perfect handmade wardrobe!
Today we're talking about a fashion strategy that's perfect for summer - layering. I've got some great tips on how to style your handmade garments to stay stylish and cool, whether you're out in the sun or in the often over air-conditioned indoors.
Layering allows you to adapt to varying temperatures throughout the day. It also gives you the flexibility to mix and match your handmade pieces for endless outfit combinations. Plus, it's a fantastic way to showcase your sewing skills and creativity.
The key to effective summer layering is choosing the right fabrics. Look for lightweight, breathable and natural materials like linen, cotton lawn, double gauze and voile. These will not only help keep you cool but also add a beautiful texture to your outfits. Avoid heavy or synthetic fabrics that can trap heat and make you uncomfortable.

    Thanks so much Rebecca. I made the Copellia wrap top after seeing how lovely it looked on you and absolutely love it. I made it in a gorgeous deep dark chocolate brown heavy bamboo which has a little more weight than the normal weight bamboo. I live in North Queensland in Australia which is probably a little like Florida except perhaps a little hotter in high summer. I love your white trousers and will now make those in several neutrals. I learn so much from your design ideas, colour and fabric choices. Thanks for sharing your ideas with the sewing community. You rock ❤

Just FYI St Pete made the Guiness Book of World Records for being the sunniest city in the US. about 750 sunny days straight so this is the first summer in 4 years we've had rain. It's just been so shocking to NOT have the monsoon rains and clouds until this summer. It's cloudy in Tampa and coming over the bridge, it suddenly turns sunny, and never stops. LOL

    Thanks again for another great travel video. I find these videos so interesting. Your new fabric is beautiful. The first thing that came to my mind was a caftan like the eyelet and the periwinkle caftans. I'm sure whatever you make will be a great match for pattern and fabric.

    I love your capsule wardrobe approach. I’m going to India at the end of the year and was wondering if you would consider putting together a travel capsule for India.

    The colors you’re wearing look great. As for your new material, a wrap skirt that just ties at the waist, but if you were to do a simple sleeveless blouse or shift dress, a flounce down the front would look good.

    Morning Rebecca, just love all your outfits. The attention you give to detail and your sewing skills are phenomenal. I particularly love the periwinkle blue pants you are wearing. Thank you again for sharing with us and the time and love you infuse each vlog with.❤ I look forward and appreciate each vlog you publish. Once again thank you so much❤ A quick question - for woven garments do you use a 3 or 4 thread serger? Another question - with Vogue 1437 did you need to modify your periwinkle pants? Also wondering why you needed a size 16?

    • @SewPomona
      @SewPomona Před 13 dny

      Thanks so much Francesca! Always happy to answer any questions! I usually use a 4 thread serger stitch- unless I'm doing a narrow hem. My silk skirt has a 3 thread narrow hem finish. The periwinkle pants had the zipper moved to the back (the pattern has a fly front closure). I did no other modifications. That pattern is from 1994 and the 16 felt true to size for me B 38, W 30, H 40. I'm currently 36, 29, 41. I find most Vogue patterns today have too much ease built in so I usually cut a 12-14. Older patterns I always stick to the measurements. I find the true vintage patterns fit my shape best so I rarely need to do any alterations. Hope you're having a great weekend!

    If I could time machine my way back to my earlier projects, I'd spend more time preparing; then pressing, pressing, pressing. I'd preshrink, iron and establish accurate grain on fabric, every. single. time. And select fresh needles of the correct type. I'd iron wrinkly patterns to achieve accurate cuts and markings. The worst sin is skipping a good press after every seam. As tedious as these steps are, I've almost always regretted skipping them in a rush. The end result never looks right. And if I don't wear the garment much, I've wasted tons more time and money than the extra few minutes of aligning and pressing.

    I love your beautiful top! For me the gamechangers of leveling up my skills were 1. Slow down and do every step with care. 2. Learn seam finishes so the inside is as nice as the outside. 3. Make a muslin and sometimes also a wearable muslin. I am very excited as we just had Tuff Shed build me a quilt barn that is 10×20. My 14" longarm quilt machine and frame will take up most of the space but I will be able to set up my sewing machines so I can also make garments. I am gonna start planning things for Winter weardrobe so I have time to create some beautiful fleece jackets.....I live in Western Colorado and ski so I want to create some things for that. Next Winter I will work on my Spring and Summer weardrobe. Looking forward to your trip outfits.

    I really appreciate all these tips. I’ve taken apart a pair of RTW jeans so that I could see how the fly/zip/waistband were installed. Thank you.

    Appreciate all the information! I’ll need to watch the video again. Inspired by many of the pieces and color combinations. Considering the black pants as a versatile and practical add to my wardrobe.

    Wow you make this look very doable. I will have to try making a pair of these. I work out at a rec center and could use another capri length. Anything special I need to change to do that shorter capri version? And yes a video of the top would be great.

      Thanks Ami! I taught this class yesterday and had great results. To make a capri you're going to make the block and then just shorten the leg to where you want it to hit. Once you have your basic block it's really easy to play around with the shape and create any style of stretch pant or short. The top is definitely on my list! Happy sewing!
