I took a dressmaking class at The Workroom that uses patterns from a beautiful japanese dress book of your choice.
Boy am I glad I took it. The books looked so intimidating at first (with my limited sewing skills, and the books being in japanese), but Karyn taught us how to understand it, and use it. Thanks to Karyn, I have now completed my very first dress, ever!
I am excited to show you, later on this week.

ReplyDeletei was actually a fashion major, until i switched to art because i simply could not get the hang of sewing! waaay out of my league. hahaha
can't wait to see your first ever dress!
ReplyDeletei'm in love with the way the pattern looks.
ReplyDeleteIt looks complicated but I'm sure the result will be beautiful, I can't wait to see it
ReplyDeleteI've added your wonderful blog to my blogroll =)
yay! finally! can't wait to see the finished dress! I got as far as making huge photo copies of the patterns (and I did sewing course as well - but I never got a sewing machine so I never got anywhere) :(
ReplyDeleteand in answer to your question: oomoo likes his baths, he doesn't LOVE them but he doesn't hate them either, I'm sure he'll enjoy them more when he can sit up and splash the water like there's no tomorrow!
Oh that's amazing!! I have that book as well as a bag book, and want to make something of it so badly... but can't and don't know how!! I wish I lived where you were so I could take a class like that. Now they'll just have to sit on my desk and collect dust... sigh. Perhaps I'll try to decipher it on my own? Is that possible? I can't wait to see your dress!
ReplyDeletehow fun! i look forward to seeing the dress. i love the photo of the pattern.. it's very beautiful in itself.
ReplyDeletelucky you ... please show us the result !!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I can't wait to see it! I just made a tank top from the Stylish Dress Book Vol. 2 last Friday to wear over the weekend. It's so sweet. Please post photos soon!
ReplyDeletei want to see the dress!!! woot woot!
ReplyDeleteOh my god, I wish I knew! I bought a Japanese dress book in Tokyo and want to make something but, well, I am not that focused or skilled. You will have to fill me in on what you learned! I can't believe you already finished a dress! Post please!!!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to try. I should really figure out some time to do so. I look forward to seeing your first sewn dress ever!
