[...] thrifting. It is well known how much I am inspired (shameless copycat?) by Anabela – her books, the patterns she makes, even the sandwiches she eats! It’s going to be so much fun going through their trunk at the [...]

In Japan I saw so many dresses and tops that looked like the ones from this book and was inspired! I have to make a bunch now that I’m back. The girls there almost never wore the dresses alone, they always layered with t-shirts, leggings, pants, etc. It made me see how versatile these elements are, and you can wear them year-round!

More dresses, yah!

melinda – i saw this dress on sartorialist the other day too! it’s so cute. (and i love bryant park) i’ve seen necklaces made of fabric yo-yos that are similar. it’s a really fun idea that might need to be moved to the top of my project list.

Again, I love the dress!

It looks great on you because you are so slim and elegant… I think I would just look pregnant!

Can’t wait for your NYC posts!

Ooh, love this dress, too. I never would have noticed this fabric for it — great eye, as usual!
On another note, the patchwork class at the workroom tonight was so fun I can barely sleep thinking of all the gorgeous/crazy combinations I can use in future projects. I am in trouble — I think I might be seriously hooked. I’ll end up being one of those old ladies at the farmer’s market selling her quilts for barely anything because I just love making them…Actually that doesn’t sound SO bad. Those old gals must get some free apples or something to keep them alive…
