JAPANESE BLOUSE AND SKIRT
















I am surely not the only one to be in love with the design of Japanese clothes and the styling of Japanese sewing books. I have four of them and want to make every single project. They are all so cool! Despite the fact that I love the books, until now I had only made one project (the A top from Sew Chic Kids), I made several versions of that same top, but had never adventured my self in other projects, I don't really know why, laziness I guess...

PINK AND GOLD


Here is Teresa's new tunic. I am totally in love with it. The fabric is Michael Miller's Brambleberry Ridge by Violet Craft (purchased here). It is pink and has some adorable golden birds. 





























I only bought a yard of it (I guess I can't get used to the fact that my girl is not a baby anymore) and had to do some magic to be able to sew this tunic.

The pattern is Agnes Tunic by Citronille. Due to the lack of fabric I had to make some modifications, like reducing the width of the bodice. Also, I added a peter pan collar. The collar is far from perfect, I had to self draft it, but I though that this fabric was really asking for something with a peter pan collar.  




























I think I got a little bit obsessed here and even used golden thread... I just couldn't help it.





























Teresa wore her new tunic today with her new denim skirt (more details here).





























I am glad that she is finally well and we could have fun outside!

Hope you liked it! :-)
