WIP

WIP_f0194450_5245657.jpgI started my next project, and it's a tunic from Amy Butler's Mini dress/Tunic/Top pettern. I always wanted to try it, but the word "invisible zipper" on the back of the package kept me away from it. See I share your fear :-) And I have a very similar looking tunic pattern which requires no zipper. But, I think it's time. Time to conquer my fear. I chose the fabric, washed it, ironed it, traced the pattern on a piece of parchment paper, and cut it. And actual sewing will begin tonight.

Thank You Arpon

Thank You Arpon_f0194450_4561833.jpgI don't cook that much of Japanese food. It just takes too much of preparation time for a working mother. So I probably eat more Mexican food than my native food. But, recently I've been treated by Japanese mom's cooking a lot. Well, not by my own mother, but my friend's mother who is in town. Some of her cooking is unfamiliar to me as she is from a different part of Japan, and it is fun to experience different food. She loves to cook and entertain, but the sad news is that she is leaving soon, so this is my thank you apron for her.

Patched

Patched_f0194450_7285741.jpgWhat do you do In when you have a hole on your favorite sweater?
Patched_f0194450_7295360.jpgin my case, butterflies came to fill it for me! No they did not come and land on my sweater :-) but I did fuse the butterfly print I love and cut out and hand-appliqued. I didn't have four holes, but I added three more butterflies so it might not look like an obvious patch job.
