Fabrics and patterns for KCWC April 2012
I picked up the book on the right in Sydney and am really keen to make a few things from it - despite the fact they're more summer clothes than winter, which is what Hazel really needs! The fabrics are two voiles and a stripy knit. I realised after taking the photo that there probably isn't enough of the blue flowers to make the Figgy's tunic, so I'll have to find something else. I suspect it wouldn't have been a good match anyways, the fabric is quite stiff and the tunic looks like it needs a softer fabric.
Btw the Japanese book is called 'Sweet Girl's Clothes' (or something like that) by Araki Yuki, ISBN 978-4-529-04951-1, published last year. I'll try and take some photos of the patterns this week, they're really sweet.

I like the look of the Figgy's pattern, mine has outgrown the sizing though, bugger!
ReplyDeleteI was going to suggest that you could just size it up, but now that I'm about 3/4 of the way through making it I'd say no, that's not a goer! It's complicated enough at the right size. It's going to be very interesting to see what it looks like on, very interesting... (you can tell I'm a bit unsure despite it's coolness!) I'm sure there would be a market for a larger size in this tunic (and for women too), perhaps you need to pester the designer :)
ReplyDeletelooking forward to seeing what you make :D
