The Ugly Scarf Challenge

Pattern U from the "Stylish Dress Book #2" (without the sleeves)

Fabric: H&M scarf with a somewhat Japanese theme...

The result: better than expected. Added a belt also purchased at H&M that emphasizes the Japanese theme.

The long sleeve version of the same pattern created a few weeks ago. I really love this top!

A "girlier" version of the previous pattern

Pattern #24 from the Japanese pattern book "Otona No Couture" / Fabric "Sacrés Coupons", 4bis rue d'Orsel, 75018 Paris /Liberty Ribbons & Buttons "La Droguerie", 9 rue du Jour, 75001 Paris

My first Japanese pattern! Perfect for the warm weather...

The ruffle skirt

The pattern is quite simple: measure your hips
and divide by 2, that is the X measure!

A top for Gudule

Somewhere buried in my 'sewing' closet was a bag which had been forgotten for 2+ years. Fabric had been cut out, and then the previous sewing machine died. I finally finished the top yesterday (Newlook pattern 6239) and not only are the fabric lovely, but I think my sister Gudule will love to wear it as it is now officially summer in France.
PS: In case you were wondering Gudule is not her real name...only a nickname...
