A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Happy Friday + Geometric Top

September 14, 2012

Can’t believe it’s Friday already! Above is a little top I made for K from this book (isbn 978-4-529-04894-1). I LOVE IT. I desaturated the image a bit for a vintage-y feel, so the color is a much stronger fuchsia in actuality. The images below are a better representation of the awesomeness of the top.

The cute blue and white striped button is from a dear friend, who brought me back a packet of adorable buttons from Amsterdam. They’re from a store called HEMA, which is like Target, but because it’s european, way better. Check out their fun site!

The linen-blend shorts were made last year and still fit. Comfy yet stylish, that’s the way we roll around here.

**P.S. For some reason, K insists on wearing band aids all the time. For months, I don’t think I’ve taken a single picture of her without one slapped on somewhere on her body.

Happy weekend, all!

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. I’ve sewn literally thousands of garments and other textile projects in the last decade! I included a Sashiko primer in the book, and I’m delighted that this humble Japanese embroidery practice has stood the test of time - if anything, I’ve noticed that there’s an ever growing enthusiasm for hand stitching. Fun news: I’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! 💙💙💙💙💙
