love the new machine!

By

I had to work till 9pm last night, which is pretty rare for me. But working late did not prevent me from trying my new Janome sewing machine. I ended up staying a bit late and made this dress. I am so happy with the new machine. It is so much quieter, and faster than my old Kenmore. I liked my Kenmore machine, and I made more than 150 garments, using it. But I am happy to move on to a new machine, and pass on the Kenmore to a new user, Sammy. She will be altering vintage clothes and selling them in NY!

P.S. Kaitlyn, I can’t thank you enough for the Kenmore sewing machine! You are the best!

Going to NY for the 4th of July weekend!

Tube dress

By

When I last went back to Japan, I did not forget to buy a Japanese magazine. Andy always makes fun of me for reading the same magazine over and over again. But I get a lot of ideas for the clothes from Japanese magazines. One of my favorite magazines are “Sweet”. I got the idea for this ruffle tube dress from Sweet July 2009 issue, below. I used the fabric I got from Tomato. This dress is so easy! Straight sewing ONLY! Totally recommended for beginner sewers:)

* I joined Weardrobe! Fine me here.  
* Flickr just asked me to pay the annual fee since I almost exceed 200 pictures… If I don’t pay, they said I can’t see any more than recent 200 pics. Is it worth paying the fee?
