A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Brown and Silver

September 24, 2012

Good morning! Hope your Monday is going well so far.

Here’s a little sophisticated matching top and skirt I worked on last week – the fabric is an earthy neutral color with streaks of silver thread. The back has an unexpected open design and is a bit sassy. Love!

These are pattern F (top) and N (skirt), and I’m steadily working my way through all the patterns in this book (ISBN 978-4-579-11289-0):

You can find other completed projects from this book here and here and here.

Next up: a peter pan collar shirt!

I just realized that this week marks 10 years sinc I just realized that this week marks 10 years since my first craft book Sewing Happiness was published. Iโ€™ve sewn literally thousands of garments and other textile projects in the last decade! I included a Sashiko primer in the book, and Iโ€™m delighted that this humble Japanese embroidery practice has stood the test of time - if anything, Iโ€™ve noticed that thereโ€™s an ever growing enthusiasm for hand stitching. Fun news: Iโ€™ll be teaching a virtual Sashiko workshop for @tatterbluelibrary on Thursday, April 30th at noon ET. Link in profile! Would love to see you there! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™
