Simple "Sakura" dress

I found this lovely fabric for only S$6/m and it only left me some 1.3m .. so with that "restricted" fabric, I carefully fold and cut it so I could make a maximum use of it. I was thinking of making it into 2 blouses or 1 simple dress and 1 sleeveless top .. and I already used it to make one simple short sleeves A-line dress, the rest of the fabric is still waiting for my "inspiration" .. I'll post it later when I've made up my mind ;-D

ps: I use the pattern from one of my Japanese sewing book.

New sewing books and mags :-)

I've been "collecting" Japanese sewing books and magazines. I've fallen in love with their simple style, simple pattern and clear, easy to follow instructions. I wanted to know their "sewing techniques" which I found a lot easier and not complicated comparing to other techniques I saw in most of sewing books.

I stopped my Saturday night sewing class after I started to work part-time in the French school. I need my weekend to repose and re-charged my energy. I feel that going to a sewing class on a Saturday night while I supposed to enjoy my time with my family, seems a bit "ambitious" ...

These books and mags really help me a lot! and I recommend them for a beginner (like my self) to start making one or two projects, you'll be surprise that it could turn you into a sewing addict ;-)
