Fun!
First of all: Happy New Year, everyone! I sincerely hope that this will be a wonderful year for all!
The last couple of years, I have been focusing on putting together a thought-through and balanced wardrobe, but this year, in 2012 I am going for the fun!
As I now have a closet full of practical everyday wear, I want to focus more on unique clothing, and on evening wear. Updressed casual daytime clothing is where I excel, but I´d like to not have to rummage my closets in panic each time I´m going to a party or I´m going out for drinks. I usually end up in black, and although I love black, it´s not really representative for me to always wear black – I love color too!
So here are the colors of my Fun!-palette. These colors are bright and fun, and I love to wear them. The emerald-ish green color represents everything green in my plans. I have a couple of different fabrics in a range of greens and teal, and I want to wear more of them! I used to wear red all the time. But as my wardrobe is slowly changing into a handmade one, the red didn´t come along! This has a lot to do with the fact that I´ve had such a hard time finding red fabric, so when I´ve finally found some, I have been excused from my Stash Bustin´and have bought a couple of meters. The navy blue and the eggshell white are both staples in my wardrobe, and the coral is so fresh and spring-y. I have one particular coral colored fabric that I´ve been wanting to use for ages! This is the time for it! 🙂
When it comes down to picking patterns, that will be more difficult (yet Fun!), because there are so many gorgeous ones to choose from, and I really want to explore unique styles and techniques. One guideline will be Sewing trough the Decades as I still love to explore patterns from different eras and styles.
So there you have it, I am going to have some fun this year! Hope you will too! 🙂
Oooh, loving the colours, can’t wait to see what you come up with! Happy New Year, hope it’s an amazing year for you!
Thanks Tors, hope your year will rock as well! 🙂
LOVE IT! Can’t wait to see what you create, Solvi.
(Ps. I replied on my post but how about a pinterest challenge in February?)

Thanks! Happy new year!
Happy New Year and looking forward to seeing the finished items!!
Thank you, and a happe new year to you too! 🙂
Awesome! I’m all over sewing for fun, too!! I can’t wait to see what you make – your colours are yummy!
Happy New Year, dear Solvi!
Yay, fun! I love the idea of making fun stuff. Love your color palette, too.
I love your palette, and think that FUN! is the best way to organize a wardrobe ever.
@Sarah, Liza Jane and Sigrid: Thanks! Hurrah for some fun! 🙂
Oh, what an awesome goal for 2012! Fun! It’s a lovely palette, very similar to my go-to colours. I’m sure you’ll have fun with it, happy stitching!
Thanks Alessa, how fun that your color choices are similar! 🙂
Hooray for fun! Can’t wait to see what you whip up. I’m right behind you in making an everyday wardrobe — but I look forward to inspiration, fun on the horizon 🙂
FUN! I love that idea for a sewing year’s theme. Great palette too! I have a few more staples to make, and then perhaps something fun for me!
Sorry to repeat- this is a great idea- shows how fantabulous your handmade wardrobe is already – and seeing your gallery and remembering your me made month outfits, the scope of your handmade wardrobe is to be envied!! In my mind you already use colour in a fun way so this feels like a really good extension. Sounds like the perfect focus this year. And I love your first fun dress with the lace!
[…] am back with more fun that you could imagine! Starting now, and continuing throughout May, there´ll be a new sew-along […]
