Spring flowers set

Instead of packing like what I was supposed to do, I made a new set of bra and panties yesterday. I was packing in the sewing room when my eyes rested upon this wonderful lycra fabric in my stash. The flowers pattern looks like a blooming garden in spring, and suddenly I felt that I [...]

Denim pants (Evan – Tamanegi kobo)

March 29, 2012womenswear

  I had a metre of denim fabric in my stash -actually it was more like unshaved corduroy- that I planned to make a high-waisted skirt with. But recently I changed my mind and wanted to make a pair of pants with it. I don’t have too many pants in my wardrobe. Maybe one or [...]

Side pleat dress (Butterick 5672)

February 10, 2012womenswear

I found this pretty double-knit wool while I was supposed to buy something else in Okadaya. It happens a lot, doesn’t it? Anyway, I bought a meter of it without knowing what to made of the fabric.

Peach and grey lingerie set

December 24, 2011womenswear

Making bra and panties is a sort of instant gratification for me. They only need little fabrics and don’t need much space for cutting the pattern.
