Where am I in the TNT or One and done range? Well, it depends. If we're talking about the ESP dress or the Appleton I'm darn close to TNT. ESP still needs a few tweaks.
If we're talking about the perfect outfit - I'm always losing my mind over the newest shinny pattern. I mean, I was super inspired by a guest in loose flowy wide legged pants. She looked fabulous, comfortable and really put together. So, what do I do? I made one pair of McCalls 7757. They were meant to be a wearable muslin, but they were just all around too big. I took them in, altered my pattern, made one more pair and haven't even taken photos in that pair to see if they are closer to hitting the mark.

This weekend, I send Carolyn a message to tell me I didn't need to buy the Love Notions Summer Caye pants - because basically I HAVE IT! And I believe Gillian has a tutorial on making pants have a flat front and elastic back. But - have I revised my pattern yet? Nope.
And then I get stumped by what to wear with full legged pants like that. Is it just a tee? Have a played with Concord enough to just be able to pull it out and sew it up? Why not? There's not a single piece of fabric I own that's too special to use.
I also want a button down shirt. And let me tell you, I have patterns for button downs. But then I get stuck and can't decide which pattern to use. Do I want a fitted shirt or a really loose shirt? Long sleeves, short sleeves? It gets to be so overwhelming for me that I make another shirt for JB!
So talk to me - share your process from getting from a pattern to a wardrobe staple. Clearly, I need help.
