In 2012 I created a sewing challenge based around Tim Gunn’s 10 Essential Wardrobe Items. The 10 items on Tim Gunn’s list are:
- Basic Black Dress
- Trench Coat in a Classic Neutral Color
- Classic Trousers
- Classic White Shirt
- Jeans
- Any Occassion Top
- Skirt
- Day Dress
- Jacket
- Sweatsuit Alternative
I also added a few bonus items to my challenge:
- Raincoat
- Wool Coat
- RTW Knockoff
- Party Dress
- “Unexpected” Trendy Item
- Any long-term “Sewing Plans” Item
While I didn’t totally complete the challenge, you can read about the items I did make at the blog posts below:
