The Work from Home Module Sew Along: Putting It All Together!

 

This work from home module got me back into the studio, and as a bonus, it gave my daughter, Mehetabel, some great pieces to incorporate into her wardrobe. For this module, I wanted tops with three distinct necklines: turtleneck, V-neck with a tie, and a crewneck. I also didn't focus too much on the bottoms because she'd already told me she'd be wearing yoga pants and slippers to work from home! When things open up again, she'll wear more formal bottoms in the classroom, like the Barb Stretch Pants I blogged here.

For the topper, I chose the Helen's Closet Blackwood Cardigan, made from Telio sweater knit in navy. This is my third Blackwood Cardigan. It's a winner! The cardigans are blogged here, and here, and here.

I knew a navy cardigan would be super useful in Mehetabel's wardrobe. And I knew the navy Jalie Eleonores I'd made about four years ago, first pairs blogged here, along with some favorite Levi's would be perfect for the bottoms. For the tops, I chose three comfortable knits from Stylemaker Fabrics in prints.


The first top I made was the Itch to Stitch Hepburn Turtleneck which was the only new-to-me pattern I used. This pattern also qualifies for my pattern challenge, blogged here. The fabric is cotton/lycra jersey with mustard, navy, and ivory flowers. The top is blogged here.


The second top I made was the Jalie Scarf-Collar Top, blogged here. I made this one from a geode print in burgundy, navy, and white. The fabric is a super soft rayon/lycra jersey. I'll bet Mehetabel will wear this one the most.


The third top I made was the Love Notions Classic Tee with the long sleeve and crewneck options. I love this cheerful coral print with flowers and ladybugs in white and navy. This is the most casual of the three tops but  it'll be fine on Zoom calls. This top is blogged here

So there you have it! One cardigan, three tops, and two pairs of pants = three great Zoom looks. Now I think I'll have to do another module!
