You can see it's a versatile pattern - you can make a variety types of jackets from one pattern!

Bi-colored dress pdf free pattern

I got my previous dolman T pattern downloaded by so many people!
At first I announced that I was going to provide it until the end of July, but  I decided the extension of a month. Because one of my blog readers asked me to do so, thankfully.  :)

My next free pattern project is a bi-colored dress, which is easy to make, and cool and comfortable to wear.


Down shoulders, low waisted, a draw string and especially loose pockets are featured.
And I think this pattern is so versatile that it changes its look in many ways with various combinations of fabrics.

 This is the second sample. 


A sash was added, and I put elastic strings around the waist and on the pockets.
 




And it can be a simple blouse. I think it goes well with a maxi dress. It's a trend style in Japan this summer.



 The pattern is available until the end of September.

Long Stole

I don't know if I can say 'I made' , but I'll say ' I made this stole.' :)


I got this fabric some years ago at Nippori. It is a very soft and thin crepe fabric. 
It had been left aside for long since then because it was a soft and thin crepe fabric which looked too difficult for me to sew.

These days it's terribly hot and humid in Japan.
So I needed a stole to protect my back neck from the strong sunlight.

Then I found this fabric was perfect to make stole!
I just cut the fabric in size 40cm x 200cm, and undid the edges.

It was very easy and quick, and I'm going to make 2 more as gifts for my mother and sister.

Melon

It has been terribly hot recently...this is the hottest June ever! Nevertheless I can't turn air conditioners on to avoid 'black out' by the lack of electricity.
My dog is very weak in heat and always wandering and seeking for the cooler place.

 

I bought this fabulous melon for only 280yen at a supermarket. 
This kind of melon is usually too expensive to buy by myself, but very cheap this year!

That's because the influence of radiation...sadly.
This melon came from Ibaraki, south next to Fukushima.
It's safe, but many people avoid them to eat. Of course I can understand that people who have small children and are going to have babies are worrying about that so much, and I would do so if I were a mother. I hope you readers can understand that  I don't intend to critisise them.
Now, what I want to say is that this is a rare chance for me to get delicious fruits very cheap :)
