Projects from Pochée Spring 2010

Here is a quick roundup of some garments I made from Pochée Vol. 9 Spring 2010.  This Japanese magazine features some really nice shirt patterns as I mentioned in an earlier post, but there are more than just great shirts in this issue.

Did you know? "Stylish Dress Book" translated to English!

Now Available for Pre-Order

Yes, it's true....  The much coveted and admired Stylish Dress Book vol 1. by Yoshiko Tsukiori will soon be out in ENGLISH!!  Yay!  It is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com at an attractive price, only $11.27.  The publication date is Sept 10, 2012 so there is still quite a long wait for this title but fans of Japanese sewing books will know the wait is worthwhile.  The title for the english version will be "Stylish Dress Book: Wear with Freedom".  Click the link for more details and pictures!

Fashion Inspiration - Pochee

Pochee Spring 2010

Today is one of those days where rest is involuntary... I am very tired and keep getting dizzy.  It's not a good day for sewing.  Plus I have a bad feeling about my half finished dress upstairs, that I did not cut that plaid fabric quite right and the seams will be wonky after all...  But I am too tired to look and see, and I don't need that discouragement today. EDIT : I found out the plaid lines up just fine :-) but now I have to add darts to the back..

Instead I will share some fashion images and pictures from pattern books that I am in love with right now..
