FESA2014 plans: 1. Fashionable Foundations for Frosty Weather

If I wait until I have the time, energy and organisation to write about all my plans for FESA, it will be next year's sew-along before I get around to it, so I have decided to break it down into smaller blogbites.

So my ideas for Fashionable Foundations, which Sarah explains is: Trousers, skirts, legwarmers and more! Anything that keeps your lower portion fashionably cozy fits perfectly here! The chilly weather necessitates the donning of bifurcated bottoms and sassy skirts!

1. A skirt. Specifically, I would like to make myself a circle skirt, and I have some lovely purple fabric for the purpose. By Hand London have even created an app that will do all the maths for me. They also have a couple of tutorials that will be very helpful for making this.


2. Wide-legged trousers. I made myself some cropped trousers (please excuse the bad photo) last month - just in time for the weather to cool down, so I abandoned my plans to make a second with pair until it gets warmer again next year.




I'm thinking something similar to these, but with full-length legs and better hemming. Possibly switching the drawstring waist with elastic.

3. If the trousers are successful, and I have enough time, I might make a second pair.

I'll be back with plans for the other categories. Are you joining in the sew-along? What are you planning to make?
