The pink sweat shirting would be so cosy made into something, especially after having it for so long it would be good to use it. Lots of great ideas.

My vote is for the lovely red fabric...it NEEDS to be sewn up and worn proudly!!! :)

[loreleig]

Thanks for all the research. Looking forward to seeing whatever you make. 🇨🇦

Super thank you Megan. You can use a thick shoelace /bootlace as your cord too !

Ooh love the idea of the black and white paisley skirt and that tie dye fabric is just 😍😍😍

[Brenda_S]

Wow Megan. Thank you for sharing stylish, size inclusive patterns. Have never heard of Sew News. Excited to have a look. 😉

Definitely use the gold black sparkly fabric!!

Loved your patterns/fabric choices Megan! How gorgeous to have that beautiful pink floral fabric from your Mums stash! The Olivia sweater looks great! I love the Sew & Tell podcast so great to hear about those ebooks! Looking forward to seeing your reveal at the end of March!!

I vote for the blouse in the red and white polkadot. Wonderful combination

[MarieMadeThis]

Thanks for the video Megan - that Ebook has a couple of really interesting patterns in it. Also - Use. The. Sparkly. Fabric! It looks great!🧡

Megan, I have very few clothes (that I wear) but a closet full of clothes. I was overwhelmed and didn't know wear to start! I am reading Looking Good Every Day by Nancy Nix-Rice. She uses the capsule wardrobe concept. She starts with neutrals and adds pops of color through excess. You may enjoy reading her book. I can just see your gray trousers with the black blazer and lovely scarf or jewelry ( thrift ed of course). It certainly gave me some ideas for my wardrobe. Thank you for your hard work to bring us the wonderful suggestions.

that red fabric is breathtaking! thanks for sharing.

Great round up of pattern sources. You introduced me to a few new ones. My favorite of your ideas is the high-low skirt using the paisley B&W fabric.

[MichelleSewsAgain]

I love that black and white print you showed toward the end - super fun! Great roundup Megan! I'm looking forward to seeing which one you make!!

[StitchBlackFashion]

Love the resources. Thanks for the recommendations. The challenge sounds very interesting.

[JustMeAndMyFabric]

Thanks for providing ideas for #sewfrugal22. I am still on the fence whether I will participate. So many other plans in progress. If I do, I may end up making the Helen's Closet Luna Tank.

[SlapHappyRetirement]

Some great ideas there Megan and I will be checking out the sew news for my video in March. I do like the V neck sweatshirt but looking forward to seeing any of your ideas made ;)

[sewagnes]

I really love the red fabric in your stash! Thanks for sharing your pattern suggestions😻

[vickyk]

I love your option 1 pattern (DIBY's Duchess skirt) with the option 1 fabric. I will be checking out that pattern myself.

I haven’t made the DIYB skirt but have made their free patterns for leggings, women’s and mens t-shirts. Very impressed with their comprehensive instructions, especially how to adjust the fit to your body.
I hope you don’t mind me commenting…I love the tone of your voice. Rather a personal comment I know, so forgive me, but I’ve never forgotten a similar comment that someone made to me when I was in my 20s (a lot older now). I was working in a customer facing environment. The lady I served, who made the comment said she worked as a voice actor.
