Inspired by all things Japanese

I picked up this stunning Japanese fabric at the store where I did my overlocking course and whipped up this skirt using a pattern from a Japanese pattern book. I am so thrilled with how it’s turned out, and it was seriously quick to make. Best of all I didn’t have to trace off a pattern from the scary Japanese pattern sheet because the skirt is made form four rectangles of fabric sewn together. The underskirt is made from denim which at present very stiff and makes the skirt stick out as though it has petticoats under it. I’m hoping this will soften as it is washed.

Here’s a picture of Zoe in her new skirt:

Here is a picture of the inside of the skirt. Aint those seems stunning!

And here’s a picture of Zoe tuckered out on the couch after a day visiting friends (this is a rare shot I tell you!).
