Laowai

Since school started the weather has been so pleasant.. so pleasant! I feel like we usually start the school year with some very hot days – not this year. So the weather has motivated me to do some fall-ish sewing. I made an interesting new pattern from Tauko Magazine.

The pattern has really interesting pleats that are sewn back and forth so they stand up. Sort of an origami or smocking feel. The pattern has a blouse version and a dress version – I sort of split the difference and made it a tunic length.

I’m happy with it. A fun project from a new-to-me pattern maker.

And playing catch-up – another sewing project from a several weeks ago. This is the Honey Dress from Merchant and Mills and I wore it a lot when it was hot out.

Next up I got some lovely golden yellow canvas in Japan – I have a jacket pattern that I’d like to try with it.
