I never do this, but I got so excited about May's #letssewthistogther theme that I decided an inspiration post was in order. If you know me, you know I'm not the planning or pinterest board type. That's just how eager I am to get started sewing white pieces for my summer wardrobe. Let's begin with these white crops from J. Crew-
White cropped Lander Pants, no!? I have so many heart eyes for these.
I don't actually own the Lander Pants pattern, but it calls for non-stretch fabric. I may sub the Birkin Flares pattern here (I've made them once before) which is designed for stretch denim and just do the slight mods for the patch pockets and straighter legs.
LA Finch Fabrics (our sponsor for May!) has 2 white stretch denims in stock. They both sound yummy.
Fashion Denim Off-White Cupro Blend Woven (sold out)
Famous Maker Off-White Tencel Blend Stretch Denim

Amber (@soisewedthis)'s recent top in eyelet is completely just-go-ahead-and-copy-that-for-myself material. I mean it just screams perfection! She used Butterick 6100, but I'm tempted to use the Hey June Key Largo (again).
I have been known to covet eyelet so I've got a few options on that front in my stash already.
This one is available from LA Finch-
Espana Daisy White Cotton Eyelet
While we're talking about eyelet, check out the back of this raglan sweatshirt-
I'd use the Lane Raglan pattern (sized up and boxier) since I have it in my arsenal already or the Linden Sweatshirt pattern.
I need to double check if I have some white French terry in my stash, but if not, I'll grab this one from LA Finch-
French Terry Designer Off-White Knit
How about this $278 gem from Anthropologie?!
I mean Farrah is close enough for me! (And I already own the pattern and have sewn it.)
I think I even have some white cotton lawn in my stash...
Check out Tami (@sewsophielynn)'s tester version of Farrah in white swiss dot!
Her blog post has lots of photos and more details on the pattern.
A white version of the Evergreen jacket also sounds like a fun project. I've probably already bitten off more than I can chew with the projects listed above, but just maybe!!!
I hope you'll sew some whites for your summer wardrobe with Jen and I in May. We've got a couple prizes to give away, so be sure to use the #letssewthistogether tag. Details here.
