This book is built around a simple idea: a small number of garments, made well, worn often.
Centered on a seven-piece wardrobe—skirts, shirts, dresses, pants, and layers—it offers a system for creating clothing that can be mixed, matched, and adjusted over time. Each pattern is designed to be approachable, with variations that allow for small shifts in fit, detail, and finish.
The approach is rooted in Scandinavian design—clean lines, functionality, and repetition—using primarily machine sewing to construct everyday pieces.
While the focus here is on ease and wearability, the underlying question is a familiar one: how do we make clothing that we actually keep?
This is one way of answering that—through structure, consistency, and a reduced wardrobe.
For those interested in garment construction as an entry point, it offers a clear path in. What you do with those garments—how you repair them, adapt them, and continue to live in them—is where the work expands.
