Yokohama Artist Market

They are tall...

And how many clothes that I had sold? None! Hahaha. Well, actually a lot of people came by and took a look at the clothes, but there were no fitting room to try them on. I think the market is better suited for small stuff like bags and accessories that don’t need sizings. Another problem [...]

Bubble dress #1

I’ve finally consumed all my floral fabrics! I put all the fabrics in a big cardboard box and the box is finally empty now. I’ve never made so many stuff within such a short time, and actually enjoyed this whole month making all of them. It felt strangely sad to look into that empty box. But [...]

I’ve used the Wenlan blouse pattern from Burdastyle to make this bib dress before and really loved the result. This time I use the pattern again to make these floral bib dresses. The fabrics are so pretty with tiny floral patterns on them, they also look and feel like Liberty fabrics. I added a few pleats on [...]
