Over this Christmas break I made this little dress, using this great two faced fabric I posted in my first blog post. I used the ever so inspiring & mentally stimulating book, Pattern Magic. For the pattern I started with a simple short bodice block and transferred the darts into the circle & center front seam. Then I just added diagonal lines from the hip to shape the skirt. It took three few days, two muslin samples and a lot of coffee to complete!
One of my New Year’s resolutions was to buy more vegetables at the market (especially during the winter!). These were for Japanese Sukiyaki with smoked tofu.
I love Roksanda Ilincic‘s Pre-Fall 2012 collection!
