DIY Preschool Girl Capsule Wardrobe

DIY Preschool Girl Capsule Wardrobe

I’ve been studying capsule wardrobes for at least 3 years now and have wanted to have them for all of the people in my house. The idea of them is so cool and they supposedly help to decrease the amount of laundry and confusion regarding clothes for everyone. Three years after studying, I’ve finally taken my first attempt at a preschool girl capsule wardrobe for my 4.5 year old.

DIY Preschool Girl Capsule Wardrobe

My middle child is affectionately known as abc. Like most women, she loves wearing clothes with pockets (to collect endless amounts of rocks and to hold her supply of LOL dolls), dresses and yellow. She swears that her favorite color is pink but she’s always drawn to yellows, which honestly works for me because she looks beautiful in the color.

The Planning

Decision making for this was hardest for me. I figured that I would start out by choosing a designer whose patterns I knew I loved. For this go round I chose Petite Stitchery. They have really fun patterns that work for the style of both abc and I. When it comes to my kids, I’m pretty conservative with what I put them in.

I knew she needed at least 3 pairs of pants, 4 tops, and 1 dress–this is her base wardrobe that can will likely be expanded. My kids tend to grow straight up like bean poles so I knew I needed styles that would last this.

I love a capsule wardrobe but always thought they were hard to build. After studying them for 3 years, I took a stab at a preschool girl capsule wardrobe.

Here are the patterns I chose (clicking the name will take you to the pattern page):

  • Girl’s Yoggers
  • Love is Love Dolman
  • Sweetie Leggings
  • Snuggle Top
  • Juliet Bodysuit & Skirt
  • Girl’s Harmony Harems
  • Clover Dress
  • Girl’s Hazel Blouse

So far she loves it. Having a custom capsule wardrobe for my preschool girl who is incredibly opinionated has made our lives way easier. She loves ALL the looks which is really satisfying to me too!

Have you ever created a capsule wardrobe?

Instagram post 18045888907205954 When I first saw this embroidered black velvet, I immediately knew what i wanted to make. This is suuuuuuper rare for me because I collect fabric as a hobby 😉😉😉. But it literally screamed “MAKE ME INTO A PS I LOVE YOU TOP!!!” And when fabric screams, you listen. 
It was the perfect top to wear tonight as I hung out with some friends.
Instagram post 17855506063666089 I made the new @petitestitchery hat freebie to make hats for the hubs and I! I’m pretty excited about these. It’s always the small stuff that makes me happy!
Instagram post 17902906633401850 Bodysuits have become a wardrobe staple for me. This is the @madeformermaids Tai and I used @sewkatricefabric’s newest Kente-Inspired cotton Lycra to make it.
.
Naturally there is picot elastic finishing because I think this is becoming a trademark.
.
Sew Katrice just dropped new retail and it is BANANAS! Check it out!
Instagram post 18066158950199347 One of the things I’ve been really intentional about this year is creating a cohesive wardrobe of colors I love. Mustard, rusts, olives, and navy are all big in my closet right now and I love it because they all mix and match so well.
.
Both this cardi AND fabric are from @ssefabrics.

I’ve paired it with my @fridaypatterncompany SEABRIGHT swimmer turned bodysuit because high waist jeans!

I’m rocking all @petitestitchery today—the FREE swanky top turned into a crop paired with the Harmony Harems. I used a bullet fabric from @sincerelyryleefabrics to make this look happen.
Instagram post 18082029727091504 Today is the day!!!!! @fridaypatterncompany just dropped the new #IlfordJacket and it is EVERYTHING!!!
.
There are so many customizations with pockets and length. I made mine from a black Sherpa locally sourced. I saw my friend @fromcarpools2cocktails rocking her jackets last weekend and I knew I had to make one.
.
Go ahead and grab your pattern TUHDAY!
