A Capsule Wardrobe - The Rome Collection

**New Class**

Last year, one of my favourite designers developed a collection of 3 patterns - collectively known as the Rome Collection. I thought this was a great idea and just LOVED the video that they put together to showcase the 3 patterns; all made up in different variations and in wonderful fabrics - I've included a link below (well worth a watch!)

The Pietra Pants, Fiore Skirt and Cielo Top / Dress have been on my mind ever since and following a recent fabric delivery I was inspired to give them a go. They are all great patterns for beginners, but with some beautiful design details to appeal to all levels of sewist. I share with you below my 'mood board' when I was deciding which fabrics and which pattern options to initially go for. I find it really helps me to style an outfit if I have an inspiration pic to help me.

I've made a start with the trousers using a divine caramel coloured linen and rayon mix. I am very excited about wearing these and think they are going to be a real wardrobe staple (and great for travelling in too - whatever that is!). I share a couple of pics below. The rust fabric on top is going to be a Cielo Top with statement sleeves.

I have also cut out the wrap skirt version of the Fiore in a stunning black, yellow and white linen - with a modern floral design. This fabric has been in my cupboard for ages - so feels good to use it for something I'm going to wear a lot.

I had enough leftover to cut a matching tote bag - win win! I'm going to cut the Cielo top out today - the one with the statement sleeves! And if I have enough fabric left over, I might try and cut the more basic style out as well.

I will share a little 'look book' with you once everything is sewn up.
