Black and White Stripes Eco Bag

April 7, 2013 By Chie

stripes bag3I don’t really buy many clothes for myself, except at thrift shops. I love to window shop though. I like to get ideas and am often get tempted to buy something; however, much of the time I feel guilty buying clothes because I can make them. So I prefer to save my purchases for things that fall in the areas of shoes, bags and lingerie as they are things in my “Do not make” category. I know I was a “bag variation designer” for the Burdastyle book, but in reality, I don’t put a lot of time into crafting bags etc.

But today, I made an eco bag for myself with this black and white bold stripe fabric. I used the left over fabric from the skirts I made here. I love the result! It fits a lot, and it was very easy to make.

I hung this new bag in the kitchen to hold many disposable plastic bags, and it looks more stylish than keeping them in another plastic bag. I love my little project:)

striped skirt for anthom close up vivat veritasHi! What have you been working on lately sewing wise? I just finished my first batch of orders for Anthom, which is an online shop based in the Washington D.C. area. I am so thrilled to be included in the Anthom launch which is coming up in April. The co-owner Ashley is wonderful to work with and I love her style (and she is pretty). Not only that, Anthom will be carrying great designers, one of which is Samantha Pleet. I have been following Samantha Pleet for a while as you can see in my inspiration post here. (back in 2009.. feels such a long time ago!). She is from Philadelphia, and now is in Brooklyn, I’ve really enjoyed seeing her grow and expand since I found her clothing back in 2009. Now she collaborates with Urban Outfitters and her clothes are stocked in Anthoropologie and Saks Fifth! It is inspiring to see a designer bloom and I would love to follow her path some day…

 

Anyway, these black and white striped skirts will be in stock in Anthom, and they are exclusive items only available there. I like how the side of the skirts look like chevron stripes.

Mommy’s Diary: Little Girl’s Ruffle Apron

February 1, 2013 By Chie

mommy's diarykiko apron

One of the toys that Kiko enjoys the most now is her tea set.  She has tea pot, stove, saucers, tea cups, and spoons. She pretends to pour the tea, stir and serve it to us..it’s the cutest thing! I made this apron for her so she can use while she plays with her tea set.

I had about half a meter of this blue cotton fabric left over, so I cut small square for the bust part, and rectangle for the skirt part. The edges are finished with stripes bias tape I made out of some scraps.  I made this using my new industrial sewing machine, which works so fast.

去年訪れた鹿児島・錦江町で、不要になった帯を回収する企業から受け取った@tuzu.naturaldye さんが、私に託してくれました🦢 
大切な布を新たな形へとアップサイクルし、このビスチェに仕立てました✂️ 

スカートは、着物の裏地として使われていた薄手のシルクを、柔らかなピンクの染料で染め上げ、ラップスカートに仕上げています。 

伝統がある質の良い素材を生かしながら、日常に取り入れやすいアイテムへ。 
あなたの大切な服にも、ストーリーがありますか?

On a visit to Kinko Town, Kagoshima, I received this obi from @tuzu.naturaldye, who had originally obtained it from a company that collects unwanted fabrics. She passed it on to me, knowing it still had value and potential. 

I upcycled the fabric into a bustier, giving it a fresh form while preserving its history. 

The skirt is made from the delicate silk lining of a kimono, which I dyed in soft pink to bring out its beauty in a new way. 

By transforming high-quality traditional textiles, I create pieces that can be seamlessly integrated into everyday life. 
Do your favorite garments hold a story too?
