ethnic print maxi and scarf

By

I had this crazy idea of walking a marathon length distance from home to some part in tokyo on friday night with Andy, just for the fun of it. I really wanted to execute the idea, but with strong wind and rain last night, it didn’t happen. Instead, we rented the 2nd season of Lost, and watched at home.

Here is creation 5-6 from ten dollar challenge… I really like this maxi. Since I love this print, I wanted to make it in a design that showed the print. With the left over fabric, I made a scarf to go with.

Oh as to the side braids, thank you all for the advise/comments:) I’ll try the braids and post up some pics here soon..:)

one fabric, three ways.

Creation 2-4 from ten dollar challenge! I had 2 meters of stripe jersey fabric, and I managed to squeeze in three things. I’m trying my best not to make a waste of fabric. I overbought fabrics when I was in Philly, and I had to give them all away and throw away some scraps when I moved.

This one is a bubble sleeve tunic, and although it’s not showing in the picture, it comes with a pinned on bow. I haven’t posted this on etsy yet, but I will, sometime this week..

Stripe scarf – I love making scarf with left over fabrics. It requires a very small piece of fabric, and I think scarves are great way to add some accent to simple outfit! Also it keeps your neck warm when you put your hair in bun:)
And again, back bow. I’m obsessed with back details! I guess I’m less embarrased to show my back than my front for some reasons. I used basic T-shirt pattern I drafted before, and changed it up a bit. Listed
if you are interested!

♡Have a great rest of the weekend♡

Pale pink

By

This is my creation #1 from 10 dollar challenge! I think this is my very first time using “pale pink” color for clothes making. I love this color, and how girly the color makes you look. But I always felt it so hard to find perfect pale pink. So I was happy to find this fabric in Nippori the other day for such a good price.

If I were to wear this dress on a regular day, I would ware a tube top inside..so my back is not attracting attention 24/7. But the dress can be also worn by itself to clubbing or night out with girl friends I think.

Sorry about talking about weather and temperatures so much in this blog, but the weather was just crazy today. Today started off with a blizzard in the morning, then got cloudy, and by the end of the day it was sunny! Three weathers in one day. The weather man needs make up his mind, I think.
