My One Week One Pattern Pictures!

The One Week One Pattern 2014 challenge was fun! Thanks to Handmade Jane for organizing this. The weather in the past week had been variable (coolish to coldish) and my 3 linen blend bottoms were stretched to the limit in terms of the colder days. My 3 bottoms were all made with Butterick 5044 - 2 pairs of linen blend shorts and 1 pair of linen blend trousers:

And here the pictures of how I wore them during the OWOP week:

Day1:

With Self stitched Black Linen Blend Jacket (McCall's 4928) 

and Self-made Silver pendant necklace

Day2:

With Self stitched Red Linen Blend Jacket (Simplicity 1688),

Self-Refashioned black silk tank top, 

and Self-made beaded necklace

 

Day 3:

With a thrifted embellished cotton voile tunic

Day 4:

With a refashioned thrifted cardigan

and refashioned cotton eyelet top

Day 5:

It's a lot colder today. I wore the linen trousers with 

a thrifted knit top 

and a self made fabric remnant scarf

Day 6:

It was pretty cold today and I was crazy enough to wear shorts! 

I wore these shorts with a thrifted knit top 

and a menswear vest that I have had since 1995!

Day 7:

It was 9 Celsius when I woke up. No more shorts!

I'm wearing these linen blend trousers with

a thrifted knit top,

a Self-Stitched wool blend boucle jacket,

and a thrifted belt.

I had really enjoyed this challenge! It challenged me to think more about the different combinations I can wear with my self-stitched clothes. I think I challenge myself to do something like this every month! Thanks again to Handmade Jane!!

I have joined the 'One Week One Pattern 2014' challenge!

 

I read about this One Week One Pattern Challenge on 'So Zo...'s blog, organized by Handmade Jane. It sounds like a fun thing to join. Basically it is a group challenge where participants wear garments made from just one pattern of their choice, every day for a week. It is taking place from Sept 6-12, 2014.

 I have lots of Tried-and-True patterns that I kept going back to so I'll have to look at those clothing items in my closet to finalize which one I'll be using for this challenge.  For example, I made multiple bottoms with McCall's 5273 and Butterick 5044.

I suppose I`ll decide the day before the challenge to see what the weather will be like for that week. If it`s hot I`ll definitely be wearing my shorts and linen trousers. I`m hoping that I can style them to look sufficiently different for the whole week.
