Random Things I Made | August 2015

August 24, 2015 By Chie

what i made summer 2015 sewing

Besides the swimsuits and kimono dresses, I did a fair amount of sewing this Summer. These small projects don’t deserve an entire blog post but I thought it might be fun to show all the random sewing stuff together.

1. Antique lace + silk camisoleAntique lace and silk

2. Bridal off-the-shoulder lace top for Vivat Veritas Bridalwhite tops

3. Bow for bridal sashvivat veritas bow sash

4. Bunch of fall/winter wool dressesfall dress fall dressesfall 2015 dresses

5. Denim skirt. I drafted the patterns myself too! denim skirt

6. Alice in Wonderland print skirt. The pattern is the same as the denim skirt.

7. Red camisole. I ended up removing the sleeves. It might look OK in the pictures, but they felt so awkward when worn.red cropped top vivat veritas

That’s it! I’m leaving for the U.S. (NY and Philly) in September for a few weeks. Andy thought I was crazy when I signed up for a private bra sewing session with Madalynne,  “more sewing?!” He asked.

What have you made this Summer?

今月作ったランダムなもの色々です。
結構ミシンの前に向かっていた月でした。
来月は2週間NYとフィラデルフィアに行ってきます。フィラデルフィアでは、ブラ作りのプライベートレッスンに申し込んだので、とっても楽しみ!

    Hi Chie, what pattern did you use for the wool dresses?

      Hi Kate, thanks for your comment! I made the wool dresses for my customer who provided the material and pattern. I think either she drafted the patterns or her pattern maker did.

黒留袖のリメイクは私が大好きなもののひとつです🥹👌

Upcycling a black tomesode kimono is one of my favorite things! 🥹👌 
The vibrant patterns against the black backdrop remind me of Klimt’s art. 🎨

✔ Charming fabric belt & round buckle accent 
✔ Elegant V-neck, perfect for showcasing accessories 
✔ Kashkool-style top for a refined look

かのこ柄の赤いウォッシャブル着物から、ミディ丈のワンピースを仕立てました👘✂️
クラシカルなカシュクールデザインのフロントと、背中がまるく開いたバックシャンなシルエットがポイント。

Vネック、ウエストのタック、すっきりIライン、ふんわりパフスリーブ…
シンプルだけど、細部までこだわった一枚です🌸

Made this midi dress from a washable kanoko-patterned red kimono👘✨
From the front, it looks like a classic cache-coeur dress — but turn around, and there's a chic, round cut-out in the back.
Layer it with a jacket or cardigan for an easy everyday look🧥🌿
Features a V-neckline, subtle tucks at the waist, a clean I-line silhouette, and puff sleeves with an open back for a modern twist🌸

冬ならタートルネックニットに重ねても素敵なコーディネートが楽しめます。
合わせ方次第で、全く違う表情に変わるのが魅力です。

A stunning bustier featuring a bold red base with delicate gold maple leaf patterns.
This one-of-a-kind piece is crafted from upcycled obi fabric, adding a unique touch of Japanese tradition.

The soft, curved neckline creates a feminine, elegant silhouette.

Perfect for parties and special events, it’s sure to turn heads wherever you go.
It’s also a great way to subtly showcase Japanese culture during your travels abroad 🇯🇵✨

This piece makes a statement on its own, but you can also layer it for different vibes:
— Over a shirt for a vest-style look
— As an inner piece under a cardigan
— Or layered over a turtleneck sweater in winter for a chic seasonal outfit.

✔️ Note: Not washable, so it’s especially suited for autumn and winter 🍂
✔️ The back features a lace-up design with ribbon details—gorgeous from every angle 🎀

Dress it up for a party or dress it down with jeans for an effortlessly stylish look.
Enjoy styling this unique piece your own way 💫
