Hi everyone! So we've been getting tons of questions about our next round of
Design Your Wardrobe, so I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you about all the
details - like when it's starting, how to sign up, and all the fun stuff that we're
adding this time around. I am super excited about what we're doing this time,
so I can't wait to share it all with you guys. First of all if you don't already
know about Design Your Wardrobe I'm just gonna explain it real quick. So Design
Your Wardrobe is a three week program that walks you through a creative
process to help you plan out your sewing for the season, like for fall/winter or
for spring/summer. So what we do is we help you to approach your sewing a
little bit more like a designer so you can create things that match your style
and really work together in your wardrobe. And the really cool part is
that people from all over the world participate. We've literally had
thousands of people participating in each round which is just really cool to
see. So week one is all about creating an overall concept and we walk through the
process of setting a goal, defining your story, and creating a mood board for
yourself. In week two we use fabric to start building a pallet so we get to
play with color and swatches and build a color story so that the whole collection
feels really unified. And then in week three we look at the functional aspects
and figure out what looks you really want to create. So you can consider
things like your lifestyle, any activities you do, or any other important
requirements that you have. Then you'll actually design some looks and make a
cue of sewing projects for yourself. Now this is a program you can do at your own
pace any time if you're a Seamwork member but we really love running the
program together a couple times a year and this is the fifth time we're doing
it. Every single time we do it we get lots of new ideas and really great
feedback from you guys, so we've made improvements to it every time. We've
added more resources, we made the program shorter - because it used to be four weeks
and now it's three, and we even built our own private community to get all the
conversation off Facebook and there's a ton of really great conversation.
I'm really excited about this round because I'm gonna be walking through it
with you. We filmed a video class that walks you through each day of the
program in addition to the daily dispatches and activities that you're
going to get through email. It was really really fun to film, I went through
creating my own collection for winter and I'm gonna even show you what I
ultimately sewed from it so you'll see the whole collection in the end. And in
the class I'm also joined by our pattern maker Wallis and our managing editor
Meg who created totally different types of collections for their lives, which is
just really fun to see. I should also mention if you're not really a video
person you don't have to watch them, I think they add a lot to the program but
the emails and dispatches and the worksheets in the planner - they all work
fine on their own too. The videos aren't super long, they're
just a quick look at what you're doing that day and I think you'll really like
them. So now for all the details. You could actually sign up for Design Your
Wardrobe right now and we'll put a link in the description box below to do that.
