I’ve been thinking a lot about colour over the past year-and-a-bit. Maybe you’ve noticed? I’ve posted blogs on my colour-scheme planning, and M&B Patreons got lots of my musings about colour seasons and wardrobe colour-planning. I’ve even got a whole Pinterest board of ‘Warm Autumn’ inspiration! I was still ending up with outfits that I…… Continue reading On colour-schemes

Colour Palette Planning
Today I’m musing on planning a colour palette, and the info here is taken from a larger post that I’ve shared on the Muna and Broad Patreon, where I’ve been posting about colour theory. Today I wanted to try and codify why some of the colours are larger than others, what that means, and how…… Continue reading Colour Palette Planning
Trying to pin down a colour scheme!
I’ve been sharing a lot on the Muna and Broad Patreon about colour theory and colours in wardrobes, as I try to get myself to a point where I have a high hit rate with my makes. Cutting down on makes that don’t feel like a success, will save me lots of time, money and…… Continue reading Trying to pin down a colour scheme!
Sculthorpe Capsule Wardrobe
I’ve been thinking more about wardrobe planning and how to find things which ‘work together’ in the hopes of finding the secret to not buying fabric which don’t go with anything, or shades that could be paired with my existing wardrobe pieces! The Curvy Sewing Collective has lots of posts about capsule wardrobes, but the…… Continue reading Sculthorpe Capsule Wardrobe
3×3 collection from Muna and Broad
The 3×3 wardrobe capsule is something that I first read about on the Curvy Sewing Collective here. The idea is that by mapping out tops, bottoms and layers in a grid (like below), you can find combinations which work together. I’ve been experimenting with capsule wardrobes as a way to avoid wardrobe orphans (garments that…… Continue reading 3×3 collection from Muna and Broad
Muna and Broad Capsule Wardrobe
I’ve been experimenting with testing out the mix-and-match possibilities of the current Muna and Broad pattern offerings. A few years before I got in to sewing I tried to coordinate myself a black and white capsule wardrobe of nicer, work-appropriate clothes (I know now that neither black or white are great colours for me ).…… Continue reading Muna and Broad Capsule Wardrobe
Warm Autumn colours for sewing
I’ve been pestering my real-life sewing friend Naomi to help me work out what colours suit me for a while now (mostly because I’d like to stop wasting money on fabrics that I like in theory, but not in practice on myself) and last week it finally happened! Yes, it looked a bit like this…… Continue reading Warm Autumn colours for sewing
MyBodyModel for plus-size sketching
Recently I’ve made a lot more wardrobe orphans than usual (light sky-ish blue pants that don’t go with any of my tops being a prime example) and I’ve also not been sketching my makes as much. I’d like to start doing that more, both before I cut-and-sew but also before I purchase fabric. Hopefully this…… Continue reading MyBodyModel for plus-size sketching
