Scrap heap project: Completed 1

By

So I finished three dresses using my scraps – as you can see, these are not really scraps at all, since the fabrics were big enough for me to make dresses for an adult:p Sorry the design of the dresses are nothing new, but I wanted to make something easy and fun to sew for the time being. More new designs are coming up soon…:)

I love the white flower buttons I used for Project 1 and 2. I found them on etsy, a shop named “Forsythe Company Store“.  The shop has a good selection of vintage buttons and other cute stuff, and I found the prices to be very reasonable.

I listed these items for sale on my etsy shop – and for my lovely blog readers, I set up a coupon code “SCRAPHEAP” for 20% off of all items listed in my shop🙂 The deal will last until I finish the scrap heap project!

39 weeks

Hello All!
Week 39, oh boy!  Its a strange feeling to look at my bump and think that soon it will be gone.  Some days I waddle downstairs and think that I can’t wait for this thing to be gone and other days like today I think that I am really going to miss this big watermelon.

In the first picture I wanted to see how many items I could get to balance on Kiko.  It was harder than I thought and I only was able to balance 2. 

Below is the stuff that I have packed and ready to go for the hospital.  In the States they recommend having a “Go Bag” but in Japan you dont have to bring anything because it is all provided, even the toothbrush.  But, because I like my own stuff I am bringing my own bag.  This seems particularly important because here in Japan I will be in the Hospital for 4 or 5 days.  I can’t  imagine wearing hospital pj’s for 4 days.  I packed some clothes for the baby, some clothes for myself, reading material and makeup.  What did you guys have packed in your bag? Any recommendations for things to do with my 4 days in the hospital?

Inspiration: Art & fashion

I thought how Miss Moss compared the art still images and her favorite collections was so interesting. She made great matches! I’m not really a big museum goer, but her post inspired me to look into art as a source of inspirations for clothes designing.
