Going RED with the Kimono Blossom

I suppose that you have noticed some fresh, vivid changes regarding my layout....yes, I have finally changed my header:)
Fresh poppies, hot summer weather and my latest creation - Kimono Blossom dress made me do it...and I LOVE it!!!!

It features the most beautiful Oilily reprint fabric, very pricey and very hard to find. I'm so lucky to have it still in red and even blue colorway and I love how it turned out.







We had a wonderful, hot day at our weekend getaway house, and Marta and I had a great time doing the pictures of this stunning dress. I will try to upload the rest of the pictures tomorrow and maybe even list it on eBay, but in the meantime, here are some pics of the Work in Progress (I just love the bodice and being a perfectionist, I just love to take care of all the details, lining, tags, etc. while creating)

Japanese inspired

I'm totally addicted to buying fabrics. A lot. From everywhere:) I like US fabric designers like Anna Maria Horner , Heather Bailey , Sandi Henderson or Joel Dewberry . Than I like European textile brands like Oilily, Room Seven, Bizzkids, Hilco, Stenzo and I mainly shop them here .
But lately, I'm obsessed with Japanese fabrics, crafts etc...and I ordered a few prints from that part of the world too.































Sometimes, I buy them to match certain of my wardrobe favourite pieces






I bought this sakura print in brown to match my Sugar morigami boots. I wanted to make a bag to match...well, still haven't:(










But it is on my to do list;)...like other 1000 things to do,LOL.....it's only that when it comes to sew something for me, I always think that I can do it any other moment, and than that moment hardly arrives.
Being Japanese inspired, I'm also planing to do something sweet and neutral...for kids...using whites, beiges and maybe some pale blues...just as touches. I just love that neutral look of linen used in Japanese crafts















I also love those crochet flowers used as details










And I think these will be great for a start;)









I also adore those yummy japanese fabrics like these








or these cupcakes
already used, and will be listed next week on ebay;)



Than, finally, I'm planing to do something fun with these fabric.That's my favourite all times:)
Oilily Kimono Blossom.Yummy!





It's not neutral, but on the contrary very vivid and very eye-catching. But yet, japanese inspired.
:o)
