Bird Shirt

I got this cotton fabric from ikea at 299yen/m.  How cheap!

There are variety of plants and birds. Very unique fabric!

I was thinking to make cushion covers or something, but it turned my shirt instead.

 I drafted this shirt pattern myself.

It looks a nice shape, fits me very well and is very comfortable to wear.

I thought I did a good job. (^.^)

Now I'm training pattern making harder to get a lisence of dressmaking instructor, 

and  I'm planning to open my own pattern shop in the near future.

Happy new year!

I hope this will be another great year for you all !!

On the last two days of the year, I was very very busy preparing for a New Year!
I cleaned up our apartment thoroughly, and made Osechi which is a traditional Japanese New Year dish.

Osechi comes in the boxes called Oju.

knit dress & cardigan

I made this dress from wool knit fabric.

 

and this cardigan from the rest fabric piece.

The front part is wet with water to erase marks...

****************

I made this cookie house using MUJI kit. 

It was a little difficult ,but a big fun!

Work Coat

I did it! This had been left aside for long after cutting...

This pattern is from FEMALE( japanese sewing magzine), and the publisher Boutique-sha has started to sell PDF patterns online and each of them is only 263yen. How cheap!　HERE

But they have no instructions, so we have to buy a magazine as well if you need. 

And to download them, you need to register as a member of rakuten.

 

I changed the sleeve pattern because it was too tight for me.... 

I changed the hight of the sleeve to make sleeve wider.

Actually, it was my first experience to use a open zipper. That was quite easy than I expected! 

This vertical zipper is a dammy....^-^

I added a adorable deer charm on zipper.
