Capsule Wardrobe for Travel

8 garments in a suitcase capsule wardrobe to sew

Sew a capsule wardrobe of 8 fall items that fit into a tiny suitcase.

No one ever returned from a trip saying “next time, I’ll pack heavier!” Sewing a capsule wardrobe of 8 mix and match items should be on every frequent sewing traveler’s list of things to do. And sewing a travel capsule wardrobe is one of the most delightful parts of planning a trip.

This fall to spring capsule wardrobe features 3 bottoms, two jackets, a sweater and two tops all fit into one suitcase, with room to spare for workout clothes, toiletries and shoes.

In this video, we show you how, in one tiny suitcase - that you won’t have to ask the guy in 29E to put in the overhead for you - you can pack enough clothes to do a two-week business or casual wardrobe and feel perfectly at ease in almost any situation. This fall-winter-spring capsule can be extended by adding in a garment for the precise season you are traveling (e.g. a short sleeve top or two for a warmer shoulder season, or a heavier winter coat and boots for winter.) Mix in a few favorites from your closet like jeans and add in a workout outfit to round out the suitcase.

As one fellow traveler commented “We’ve been here a week and I feel like I’ve never seen you in the same outfit twice! And your suitcase is so tiny!” That’s high praise indeed.

Customer-favorite capsule wardrobe that is easy to sew, looks great and fits into a tiny carryon suitcase.
