SWAP so far- going strong

Scroll down to see more content

I’ve been lobbing interim shots of all my SWAP makes so far into an IMGUR folder, and I quite like the way it’s all shaping up so I took a screen grab.  What do you think?

I have two pairs of black trousers sitting by, and I want to make another Brenne skirt in that red tartan.  What do I count as my print/prints?  Does the stripe top read as print, or as grey?  Hmmmm, decisions.

The Vera Wang leggings count as a grey item, and I had planned to include the Koos van den Akker grey skirt as my pre-made option, but I’m not currently feeling it.  I need three items in each neutral.  I have these beauties of course…

I want more red.  I may hunt out some red jersey and make another Tilton tshirt to swap out the black one.  I do also have the Style Arc Toni dress in red textured jersey, that has never been worn.  It could be remade into a long waistcoat or re-cut entirely…

The Toni is on the left, herringbone texture

I still haven’t touched my original inspiration- the black and white mathematical print- but what to make in it?  Another Lani?

Anyway, it’s coming together nicely methinks.

  1. I love the little collage and it comes across at this distance as all grey and fuschia and black and pussycat. The stripey top probably is stripier when larger than 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch or so. I am having Vivienne-Westwood-at-her-prime fantasies about that plaid, with some pre-disgrace Galliano in there. I also get ideas of a trench coat with the math fabric as lining, so one could whip it out and shock the punters somehow…and yes, I have had only coffee today, by the bucket. Why do you ask?????????????????????????

    1. I went black about the ‘pussycat’ for a minute there lol I found the teeny thumbnail size quite useful to see if it comes across as a collection, which is the key thing here. The Westwood/Galliano thing is bang on. Westiano? Galliwood? Woodigal? [ooh now I’m distracted by Gal Gadot…]
