Recently, I finished a pair of capri pants. This project came out of my pattern-making lessons with Ayumi-sensei. Trousers are a tricky garment and I wanted to make them one more time under the guidance of experienced pattern-maker/seamstress.
The medium-weight fabric from my stash (YAY!), used for this garment is a mix of wool, nylon and polyester. I added tiny Liberty patches to the visible pocket side. But I am not quite sure whether it looks like I forgot to take off my pyjama bottoms or if this tiny pattern adds some interest to the trousers. What do you recon?
For this self photoshoot I have another story to share. This time I went to a parking lot of a delivery company. I see it every day on my way to and from work and it struck me that most of the time it was empty. I had positioned my tripod at the very end of the parking lot in front of a brick wall when, five minutes later, a mini-van tried to park at the exact place where I was taking photos! Unfortunately, the driver could not put the car anywhere else because each car was assigned a particular place... SIGH
Autumn in Tokyo is very short: one can enjoy the beautiful autumnal weather hardly 6-7 weeks, and it can also be quite changeable. Only last weekend it was +30C, but since Tuesday we have had rains and grey clouds covering the sky most of the time. When sewing my trousers, I was anticipating such gloomy days and so decided to pick bright fabric. In the past, I owned a pair of raspberry cords and when people saw me wearing them they smiled. Isn't it great to make the weather with garments you wear?
