I know I should be focusing on the project.
the dead line for shipping is in less than 10 days!
oh, but you know....
I got distracted(as usual), and started another project.
well, I get to have fun,
and make some summer clothes for the season!
it's been a while since the last time I made something for myself.
this fabric has been waiting for its use for a whole year!
it's from naniIRO fabric, and I LOVE all of their fabric.
this one is double gauze, light and breezy. it's perfect for the summer!
the pattern is 1 Piece Kimono Tee from Burdastyle.
it is not 1 piece anymore because I had to use the fabric crosswise(I liked how the print was that way),
and it wasn't long enough.
the sleeves were shortened a bit,
and the neckline is different- one side is shallower than the original, other is V-shape.
this way, I can wear it both ways, front or back.
I kind of like wearing the V on the back better :)
I have a tiny bit leftover of the fabric, and am planning on making a little tunic/top for my daughter.
matching clothes are kinda nerdy, I know.
but I enjoy wearing them with my daughter ;P
it's hard to see, but these are the earrings I am wearing in the pics above.
I made these parrot earrings a few years ago.
oh, how much I love birdies!
okay, that was enough sidetracking,
and now it's time for me to get back to the main project...
So cute!! I love the fabric! Nani iro fabric is always fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI really like to see your sewing project;)
Have a happy weekend!
being distracted/destructed is awesome when it produces such nice work! the parrots are wonderful!

ReplyDeletenaniIROのダブルガーゼ使うの、今回2回目ですが、ぜんぜん縫いずらくないですよー!ダブルガーゼ、こっちではあんまり見かけないけど、夏には最適で、もっと取り入れたいなーって感じです。
Burdastyle Bookは与えられたパターンの自己流バリエーションを作ることになっていますよ。はい、大作過ぎて・・・後数日で締め切りなので切羽詰ってます> < satomiさんが参加されないのがホント残念で仕方がないーーー
Love that top especially in that fabric, am checking the pattern out now!
ReplyDeleteI love your version of this top, it looks quite sophisticated this way. The fabric is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute--I saw it on Burda Style, and decided to copy your V idea with my own Nani Iro. After I made it, I saw you live in Portland, too! Oops--maybe we'll run into each other in our similar dresses someday. :)
