Rainy season

Now it's officially a rainy season in the east part of Japan - although, I always feel like it does not rain as much as I expect, thankfully. I love seeing hydrangea flowers on people's gardens and streets in the rainy season. It's called Ajisai in Japanese, and you know they change colors? Some hydrangea turns from blue to purple to pink! Here is a new addition to my shop, and I used the fabric that has Ajisai flower all over - They are super soft lycra!

New dress and skirt

Here are some things that I sewed over last week and am planning to bring to the Artist Market in Yokohama. I must have a thing for sailor related items, helm prints, ships, etc. I love this print and was so happy to find it at Tomato in Nippori the other day.

Since the print of the fabric is unique, I made the shapes of the clothes rather simple.
As the artist market is coming up in less than 2 weeks, I still have a lot to sew!

By the way, congrats to Kayo, who is having a booth with me at the market for being a Burdastyle featured member! You can read her interview here.

flower and spring

i made this last night, using left over fabric. i want to make more of those puff mini skirts in the future using recycled materials.

i love bow

i made this skirt using the left over fabric from my mom's jacket. its a wool mix, probably tweed, white and beige. i didnt use any pattern to make this skirt. i cut out two squares and put darts and slit. easy and fun! fully lined. 

retro secretary skirt

I finally finished the Kasia skirt from Burdastyle! I think it came out really well. the pattern was almost like a puzzle, and i got confused since there were so many pieces. but i made it!
i cut the fabrics almost like a month or two ago, but couldn't finished it for a while since i had many other projects that i was working on.

i can think of so many different variation of this skirt that i want to try in the future.
the first one that i want to try is made out of black cotton lycra mix, and take out the button detail and front panel, but instead, attach a sash. so you can tie it in the front or side. i think that would go so well with shirt when you go to work.
