Fall Trends: Berry Colors

Can I tell you I am so ready for fall that I already started sewing for it. I decided in order to keep myself motivated and have an organized idea of what I want to sew while still having the options to change my mind design wise that I would hit the major fall trends. Saks and Neiman's have herald seven trends well I will be highlighting my ten major trends for fall. They are, not necessarily in this order:

1. Berry colors


2. Tie neck blouse


3. The mock two piece dress


4. florals for winter


5. Highwaisted pants


6. Menswear inspired blouse


7. plaid


8. The ladylike dress


9. ruffles


10. tailored pants

First up Berry colors which interestingly enough also incorporates another one of my fave trends, the tie neck blouse.

I made this top using M5708 View C. It came together so quickly. It took me one evening to put it together thanks to Sol-angel & the Hadley Street Dreams, a very good album and a very talented girl. I made this using some satin I had in my stash. I cut out a size 14 and made my usual modifications and the top fits beautifully. I also used my roll hem foot for the first time which wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I love this top so much that I want to make another one using a finer satin charmeuse, maybe in silk to give it a more high-end quality.

Next up, more berry colors. I'm working on B5259 in View C in a really nice burgundy polyester that I have in my stash.

Until later.
