Capsule Piece 3: Tank Dress.

Let’s just do a pictorial post of my capsule pieces so far. This time there are few words — just pictures of three capsule items and one existing pant. There are captions to each image because I can’t quit ‘splainin.

The third piece in the “sand and sea” capsule is a tank dress, and there are more pieces to sew up because I cannot seem to quit “capsuling”.

The newest item in the knit capsule with contrast neck and armhole bindings and a hem band.

Accessories used minimally for all three looks: Clark canvas sandals, heirloom silver chain with a modern pendant. The scarf was a necessity for the “Sahara sand” V-neck top/t-shirt.

The images below are in chronological order, as I made them.

#1 – Tunic in blue 11 oz jersey, Sewaholic Patterns’ Renfrew top with pre-made sweater-knit pants.
#2 – V-neck t-shirt top also in 11oz jersey and Renfrew Top pattern, with pre-existing pants. My face looks muddy, no?
I look rested and happy with the addition of a silk scarf by Vera gifted by a much loved cousin who has since passed. Much, much better — just with the addition of the scarf layer.
#3 – Tank maxi dress in oatmeal jersey. It’s “self-drafted” by changing/adjusting an existing top pattern. Same accessories as above two.

I have the fourth piece cut out (pull on pants with a possible surprise element) in the same oatmeal jersey as the tank dress. They should be quick to make. However, having some other non-sewing commitments in the next two weeks I might not be able to complete the pant quickly.

The fifth capsule piece is a print, and the sixth one is denim — I said I can’t quit “capsuling”, didn’t I? All fabric from Sew Much Fabric.

Until next time…
