Linen Dress for Summer!

Hello!

It's getting the Summer again. I have made the summer linen dress for house work..

And another I made. This dress I had worn so many times in this early summer!

The pattern is from 'Stylish Party Dresses by Yoshiko Tsukiori'.

It seems I made a little wrong side - one size bigger.. If you look at this dress, it looks like maternity dress..
However this dress makes you feel cool.. maybe good for someone is pregnant. ;-)

So! I have made a 'Belt' for more little tight. Hmmm... not good enough. I actually through away this belt later. :p

I quite like this dress when I worn. Quite romantic skirt ..
Also it's very easy to make. :D
(Fabric is from Indian fabric shop - they have a good range of summer fabric - of course!)

Have a nice evening!

She wears the pants

Good evening,

'She Wears the Pants' - quite straight forward title.. anyway, I have made the square top from this book!

This is what I made~!

I wanted to have a top without prints for my gaucho pants. I am so pleased the result. I have bought the fabric after my haircut locally and the fabric is woven type. I could wear this top all the season and also it could be wear the night out. (Unfortunately I hardly do night out as... I will feel sleepy at 22:00! )
When can I wear this top.. So happy to think about making more gaucho pants for this top now!

Have a nice evening,
Yasuko

Jacket - Butterick B5926

Hello!

I have finally done the jacket from Butterick B5926.

I have pick up from pattern B. Also I have done a little shorten the length as that fabric used for Jacket was not enough for full length.

Also I have added lining .. phew..

In the instruction, they didn't say the collar needs edge - however without the edge stitch on the collar, it looked not 'stayed'. 

I actually struggled attach collar many times.. (;_;) I have checked other people's blogs who made the same jacket but they all said 'easy'. It was not easy for me...

Anyway, this is my first jacket with collar - it looks ok. I will wear it! Definitely!

Have a nice evening,
Yasuko

Spring Tops

Hello!

It's already May. But my coriander is not growing well... They need more sunshine!

I always wish the sunny day will be coming soon, so I have made the spring tops.

And another tops I made.

They are slightly different. The 1st one has slip the side for more active movement.
The 2nd one has s little longer back as covering the bottom(just a little).
I have mede them for wearing the jeans - wearing for shopping in local.

The original pattern is from 'Lotta Jansdotter Everyday style' book.

When I saw this page, I decided to make the same one! :D
Lovely casual style.

The author is design the garment. Her site is selling her designed fabric as well.
All patterns are designed easy sew. You can make within 3 hours. (but as I have modified pattern, I spent 2 days.. I made mock top for checking the body fit.. )


My next project? I am making a jacket.. hoo hoo hoo!

Have a nice sewing!
