Spring Wardrobe Part 1

Hello! Has it really only been one day? I feel like I've crammed several weeks into 24 hours and the dark shadows under my eyes tell me that I need to stop feeling guilty if I don't fold laundry at midnight.

I completed my first project for Kumi's spring wardrobe. I give you the camisole top (or as the Japanese call it, "kyami-toppu"). I got the pattern from a fantastic Japanese book. The only stickler is that my Japanese reading comprehension isn't too hot, so I had to guess on a lot of things. But the illustrations are superb in the book, and once I figured out how to trace and cut out the pattern (I'll show you a picture of this madness later -- I'll be making lots from this book, I'm sure), the rest was pretty easy.

Cute, huh?

By the way, I'm fully aware that my blog archives are still acting strangely. Between play dates, laundry, cooking and deciphering Japanese sewing books, I just had to let some things go...you've got to choose your battles, you know?
