Sewciopath: a person with an antisocial sewing disorder. They think mainly of their next project and seldom feel guilt about buying fabric - they can never seem to get enough!* With this blog I hope to share the joy of creating my own wardrobe, and my adventures in and out of the sewing room.

Capsule Wardrobe, Italy 2014, #5
This top is made from the same fabric as CW (Capsule Wardrobe) #3, which I got from marcytilton.com. I used Vogue 1363 as the pattern, which was designed by Sandra Betzina, known for crafting well-fitting garments. The black knit fabric is from a locally owned fabric store, Yardage Town.
Here's an interesting observation: this top is actually very warm, because it is cut close to the body. On the other hand, the loose fitting kimono style jacket in #3 is not cut close to the body at all, and it is quite well suited to warmer days. Just one more observation on the fact that style and fabric both play an important role in the final outcome and the eventual use of the garment.
