\"tsukute-kitai1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As part of my de-stressing initiative, I’ve decided to post clothes I’ve sewn for myself every other week instead of every week. I’m not above admitting that it just got…nutty. So, this week we’re skipping an outfit, and talking about plans because that’s what I do in January. Plan, plan, plan, make lists, plan, agonize over lists, plan. Above is one of the books I got for Christmas (thank you generous relatives – I purchased several Japanese sewing books with my holiday funds!) and I’m excited to make a bunch of things from it.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping that by easing up my pace, I’ll make high-quality, long-lasting, gorgeous<\/em> clothes with mind-blowing, couture-like details. Or so I plan. The reality will probably be more t-shirts and easy tunics, but who knows? Maybe I’ll surprise you with a coat! I’m actually completely set when it comes to winter clothes, so I’m going to jump ahead to Spring ’14.\u00a0\u00a0I’ll most likely start with something like this:<\/p>\n

\"tsukute-kitai2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m in love with this pleated linen top:<\/p>\n

\"tsukute-kitai3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this one I’d like to make in a voile or maybe attempt to sew with silk for the first time (for myself, that is. I sewed a silk halter for K last year):<\/p>\n

\"tsukute-kitai4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And ooh, I want to make this exactly as is and wear a stripey top underneath:<\/p>\n

\"tsukute-kitai5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The book<\/a> comes with 31 patterns\/styles and all are loose-fitting, spring-appropriate garb. The title translates to something to the effect of “Adult Clothes You Want to Make and Wear”. I also noticed a dress and blouse with an uncanny resemblance to the Liesl + Co Weekend\u00a0Getaway Dress and Blouse<\/a> I made a little while ago. Like so:<\/p>\n

\"tsukute-kitai6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At any rate,\u00a0I will show you the other new books I got over the next few weeks. In fact, you’ll get to see a couple tomorrow…<\/p>\n
