1. Basic top

Moda operandi

One would think that we will start with grandiose evening looks, but no, in the first place on our list are the very “workhorses” without which no wardrobe is complete!

A basic top is, without exaggeration, a great thing, because it can be both an element of an everyday image and an integral part of a business wardrobe. Sewing such tops is very easy, so there’s a little practice, and you will never have to look in the stores for the base top of that particular color and the name of the fabric that you dreamed about!

2. Little black dress

Farfetch

It’s even funny how different styles can be hidden behind this legendary phrase. Each has a small black dress: narrow and flared, with or without sleeves, with an open back and a reckless neckline. And if you can sew, you will have exactly the one that suits you flawlessly.

3. Camel color coat

Farfetch

Of course, talking about such a coat, we keep Max Mara in our minds, because this is an absolute standard. But not everyone can afford to buy such a luxury item, since the cost is calculated in six-digit numbers. The art of sewing gives you the opportunity to create luxurious things with your own hands, and they will cost you much cheaper.

5. The skirt of your dreams

Moda operandi

In many courses, the development of sewing tricks begins with the construction of a pattern and sewing a straight skirt. It is difficult to convey the feeling that occurs when you first try on a skirt sewn with your own hands: a delight mixed with the knowledge that from now on there will be as many skirts and such styles in your wardrobe as you wish!
