Yummy Japanese Fabrics
I have had these fabrics sitting in my stash for a while. Not too long, mind you, but long enough to pine over them and contemplate never ever cutting them. But, I needed to make a few gifts. And not just for anyone, but for two of my favourite people. So the Japanese fabric was the order of the day. Here is a vintage style pinafore… or smocket, pattern taken from Mayfly.

and the back (easier to see on the house-model…)

the back...
and next was a reversible skirt. The pattern is by the long thread, inspired by this skirt, and the fabric was bought on etsy from the fabric worm, as were the previous fabrics in the smock. The long thread sells the pattern in her shop.

and…

the other side
I hope the recipients like their gifts. I won’t say who they are, cuz the gifts havent arrived yet, but I can’t wait to show you…
Have a wonderful Sunday, and happy Father’s Day!
MWAH!
