My Handmade Wardrobe Plans for a Camino Trip
How I used the #greatmodulesewalong to sew my Camino Wardrobe
The Great Module Sewalong is a challenge on Instagram to help build a capsule wardrobe. I realised while I was watching Carla and Whitney’s videos of the #thegreatmodulesewalong I was basically planning the same number of items for my upcoming Camino Trip in April. I will hopefully be walking for 5 days so I hope this will be enough for a basic wardrobe and keep my luggage to a minimum. The time frame also suits me – it should keep me focused and avoid the last minute panic sewing that usually accompanies any trip. full The module comprises a 6-piece module that consists of one topper (jacket/coat), 2 bottoms and 3 tops.
I’ve uploaded a video (vlog) to my Youtube Channel about my sewing plans:
