Interested in sewing your own seasonal wardrobe? Check out the 6PAC posts from the page up top.

Choose two neutrals or one colour and one neutral. Make 6 items:

Layer top – coat or jacket or cardigan (neutral)
Bottom (neutral) (eg trousers)
Bottom (neutral) (eg skirt)
Top (neutral) (eg t-shirt)
Top (colour) (eg t-shirt)
Layer top (linking print or neutral) (eg shirt)

My autumn 2018 list is being sewn primarily from the Ottobre Women 5/2018 edition, pattern numbers refer to that:

Alpaca cardigan in slate blue (to be machine knitted) — a variation on the Helga Isager design Daffodil
Navy blue ponte knit trousers (no. 18)
Dark blue tropical wool trousers (no. 2)
Bright green rayon t-shirt (no. 1)
Navy rayon t-shirt (no. 17 but normal sleeves)
Blue patterned Liberty silk shirt (no. 3)
