Twice yearly the lovely ladies from Colette Patterns host a seasonal palette challenge. After deciding on a colour palette, the intrepid sewist makes a wardrobe plan to be completed over an 8-12week period.
As always I planned big with last fall’s challenge and finished somewhat mediocre. You would think I’d learn but let’s face it planning is half the fun and I am totally okay with not finishing everything. So this week I’ll share my Spring/Summer sewing plans, starting with the colour palette.

It began with a pinterest board. In anticipation of a spring challenge I began collecting images of blossoms and daffodils and once it was announced that the challenge would be spread over a longer period I added images of sun soaked summer lakes (who else wanted to vacation at Kellerman’s).
From there here is the resulting palette:
Soft Black // Ivory // Gold // Dusky Pink // Navy // Sky Blue
Next up – the pattern inspiration.
Ooo, your palette is one of my favorites that I’ve seen so far. I love all the geometric prints, I’ve been really into those lately, and I like how you’ve laid it all out too. Time to start following you on Pinterest it seems.

So pretty! I love the scalloped edge along the hem.
Those images are stunning, it is freezing cold in melbourne, its 8 degrees here right now. What I wouldn’t give to live in those pictures.
Nice to have you back Alana
You always make the most beautiful graphics & this collection of photo inspiration is stunning. I adore the colours ….

I love your mood boards! Very inspiring, plus anything involving Wes Anderson is awesome in my book!
