Oh tiny baby things are just so cute, because they’re just so small! We recently found out that a japanese friend of ours is having a mini-me, so I decided what better present than a tiny kimono. The pattern for this one was in Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross. How handy to have such a pattern on hand.
I finished this bag a little while back from Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross. It was a pretty quick sew and super easy with all of her really good illustrations. I decided to make it reversible, which basically just meant to add an extra pocket as the pattern already had lining. So now I have a nifty pocket on the outside and on the inside. Plus the pocket has a little division for your mobile (cell). I made it with the heavy weight decorator’s cotton from Ikea, so it was also pretty cheap! But if I was making it again, I’d definitely use only one heavy weight fabric and one light one (so the handles weren’t so bulky).
I just started a wrap skirt from the same book, which should be finished inside another one of my bubba’s naps. Fingers crossed.
oh no, I think I’ve fallen in love with Japanese styling. I even love their postage marks. oh dear.
clean. understated. feminine. beautiful. the only trouble is, now I have to try and make something from these two amazing books I have just bought, sigh. do you think it will be a problem that all the instructions are in japanese? last time I learnt any japanese was in grade 1, when we all learnt christmas carols (very japanese, I know).
it’s okay, I know it’ll be worth it.
I got these beauties from here
