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?

When your favorite color is the rainbow and you th When your favorite color is the rainbow and you think you’re a mermaid... . My little pre-tween is still happily wearing mommy-made items and I hope that she always does. We were chatting about what she wanted to wear for the summer and she said she was into the following: - rompers - matching sets - shirts that have flutter sleeves . I used the @wildseedspatterns Iris top as I go down the list of things she wants to wear. The was in a bundle from @ssefabrics. In my FB group i even did a live sew of it! The link to the pattern is in my bio.
Hi. I see there are some new followers here. . Wel Hi. I see there are some new followers here. . Welcome! . I figured I should give a little introduction to myself and my platform. My name is Aaronica (sounds just like Veronica). I’m originally from NY and live in the Atlanta-metro area now. I came here to attend @spelman_college in 2001 and only left to have my oldest daughter. . I’m a mom of 3—2 girls and 1 boy. They along with my sexy ass husband are the loves of my life. I play about a lot but not them. We used to homeschool and we may actually go back to that depending on what these schools are looking like in August. . I run a couple of different accounts because I’m multi-passionate entrepreneur. So I’ll introduce you to all three but before I do, I want to drive home that while I’m a storyteller on all of them, I’m a BLACK WOMAN first so everything is through that lens. I love being black, I love and support my black people and I’m rooting for (almost) everyone black. . @aaronicabcole is my main account. This is where I’m likely the most raw. On this account I talk about being a plus-sized goddess, my black experience, and some brand partnerships with bits of motherhood. . @thecrunchymommy is my platform where I talk about green living, mothering and topics that are aligned with those things. There are also brand partnerships there as well. . @needleandthebelle is where i share all my sewing. I’m an avid and self-taught sewist. I’ve been sewing for 23 years now, I hate hemming and don’t do alterations. I do teach a class virtually and information for that can be found at bit.ly/learn2sewchannel. . I love plants and growing things. I work hard to make this world a better place for my children to grow up in. I’m not here for the shits. . So, tell me about you! How’d you arrive on this account?
This is the Linden from @petitestitchery and these This is the Linden from @petitestitchery and these thongs? So comfy.
The word ally is passive. Passive is not safe for The word ally is passive. Passive is not safe for us right now. . Someone asked me what other word to use and honestly, I don’t know. That’s not for me to say since I’m pretty certain the word ally didn’t come from me either. . I’ve been getting a ton of messages checking in and asking how I am. Im grateful that these aren’t from random people but from people who I have legit relationships with. Why does this matter? Because these are the people that have previously acknowledged my blackness, my children’s blackness, and aren’t all of a sudden noticing how this world is hard for us. . But before you ask black people how they are doing, think about how you would feel if one of the things you couldn’t (nor want) to change about yourself is being used as a weapon and justification to slaughter your people? That’s how we feel. . We don’t want or need apologies friends. We need action and change. #blackouttuesday #blacklivesmatter #amplifymelanatedvoices

Today in #MeMadeMay I present my beautiful boy. He Today in #MeMadeMay I present my beautiful boy. He chose his outfit today which is the @petitestitchery harem pants with the @patternsforpirates raglan. Fabric is from @ssefabrics. . But also, this is a reminder that the color of our skin is beautiful and should not be seen as a weapon. My son. My daughters. My husband. My mother. My father. My aunts. My uncles. My people. We are not dangerous because of the melanin. We do not deserve to be slaughtered in the streets. We don’t deserve to be treated less than others. . We deserve to be loved and appreciated.

The smile when you finally figure out how to make The smile when you finally figure out how to make the turban-style hats and you can continue growing your hair out in peace... ❤️ This took me 10min to make and I’m kicking myself for putting it off for so long. I used some scrap cloud fabric from @frecklefabrics to make this happen. Now off to make a thousand more.
Fun fact: this is the very first romper I ever mad Fun fact: this is the very first romper I ever made and it was self-drafted. I made this 5 years ago and loved it so much. . Swipe left to see my @megannielsenpatterns #cottlesloe bikini that is still a fave of mine.
