another installment of this is fashion because i say so. spent the weekend sewing the summer wardrobe .
i've lost a lot of weight-not complaining because i'm close to my old self-but that means either sewing or spending time taking in clothes. and i much do the former than the latter.
i scored this wonderful linen fabric in nippori's fabric town when i was in tokyo. There's something for everyone in fabric town ; notions nice quilting fabrics, gorgeous fabrics as well as very ugly tacky ones, upholstery fabrics, you name it. it was made clear there that japan is a textile manufacturing power.
the bad was that it was golden week and 90% of the shops were closed.the good is that my visa was more than grateful.
back to my fabric it is a bluish grey double weave linen with circular areas of double weave known to weavers as pockets.
the pattern is a download from tessutti in australia. fun sewing and very easy wear boho looking ^_^ !

Um, love the fabric from Nippori! I have there a few times including the time I showed it to my Japanese friend. There were few vintage shops further on the street.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that fabric, too! Maybe if all the shops had been open, the choices would have been overwhelming!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric find. And I like the pattern, too. Looks perfect for the warm Barcelona summers!
ReplyDeleteThe Eva dress? I have made it twice already and wore my linen one all the time over summer!
ReplyDeleteVery nice fabric! I love that dress. How did you resist adding a layer of dyes to it?
