I’m so going against the weather! After these creations, I still had this helm fabric left. I just added this dress to my shop. This time I experimented with pattern mix, polka dot + helm print.

Saturday brownies
So today, Andy and I got up late, well, late means 8:30am for us, since we are getting old, we naturally get up relatively early even on Saturday. I sewed a bit, and baked yummy brownies, and went to see Kayo. We had a great time chatting and eating her delicious hamburger together for about 5 hours! She and her husband showed me how to use photoshop. I do have a photoshop in my computer, but besides making a small animation for this blog, I haven’t been able to utilize it well. They showed me how to bring up color, erase pimples, and what not. Below is the photo after photoshop. I think it looks a lot better than the original one, here.
This dress is a new addition to my shop, along with this secretary dress in orange floral. Sometimes, when I make things, I don’t end up with 100% satisfying result. However, this dress, I really like it very much. It is perfect for work, yet keep you super comfortable. I made the skirt part with thick jersey fabric so it’s easy to move around. I like the look of high waisted knee length skirt for work, but I always find my self keep tucking in a shirt, and it’s so annoying! So I just connected the cross over shirt with high waisted skirt, and the problem is solved:)
You can totally wear summer clothes in winter too!
I’ve been slacking off lately and taking photos of creations at home. I know there is a better lighting outside, but I just can’t get myself together to do a photoshoot outside now. Too cold!
Here is a little maxi dress I made last week for the shop. I made myself one in brown (slightly different design) before, and been wearing a lot, regardless of the weather. In summer, I wear it by itself, but right now, I pair it with a chunky sweater cardigan, short jacket, neckwarmer and sometimes earmuffs. I also wear thick leggings inside when I go out.
I really should have gotten more of this fabric. For some reasons, I only got 2 meter of it:(
I love this blue color, with some kind of ethnic print all over. I got this in Nippori.
I got this faux-leather jacket before New Year. It was 50% off! But a week later, my sister got the same one in brown, for 75% off! I should have waited a week longer to buy! Oh well…
