Bermuda/Capri Pants

I got this model from my new sewing & pattern (Japanese translated in French) book bought in Junkudo Paris last time. Daughter wanted this pants, so I made one for her. It's available in size 100-130 (3 yrs - 10 yrs old approximately), actually daughter used to wear size 140 but this one suits her just nice :)

Happy New Year 2012!

Hi, we just came back from holiday in Paris. Paris now only about 3,5 hours train ride from Geneve. We had a great time there, and I specially had a splendid moment found the Japanese bookstore JUNKUDO in Rue Pyramide (bought 2 sewing books from there) .. and then went to Marche Saint Pierre the textile shop and the area was full of fabrics, button shop and all sewing essentials .. the area is in 18th arrondisement (district) in the northern part of Paris, it's not really a tourist site, it's crowded and a bit dangerous .. you must be very vigilant when you plan to go there ..

in fabric heaven :)
I bought some fabrics (I wanted to buy more, but I have to strict with my budget!) .. and already made one outfit from the fabric bought in Saint Pierre. I definitely must go there again one day ...


make one project from the new book! :)
