Hi, if there is anyone. This is something like a photo-only post for my new vogue 2900, version 2016. I hope you're doing great. I've been doing OK-ish, in case you wonder. I haven't been spending time in front of my sewing machines as much as I used to have. I haven't bought any clothes for a longer while either, so it may be fair to say that sewing hasn't left me anywhere but it's just "no new clothes" phase of my life. I think it's kinda cute. Life needs ups and downs (^^)
Have a great weekend!
Hugs and kisses,
yoshimi

pattern: V2900, style A (straight grain version) from Vogue Patterns. Lengthened by 10cm for a fuller skirt. I tried pattern matching of the pieces and it was a light nightmare.
fabric: Summer wool, plain woven, thin and smooth, dry, slightly stretch-y and lovely.

I hope you have a good summer and find time to sew!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gillian!! I hope you have a good summer too!
DeleteIt's a beautiful dress Yoshimi, I hope you get the time to make some more soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Andrea. I'm trying to choose less complicated projects so that I don't feel rush(^^)
DeleteBeautiful dress!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vicki!
DeleteStill here! Nice summer dress!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're here, Jen! Thank you!
DeleteI agree with the others, a really beautiful dress, very feminine. It is nice to see you back but like you I too am having a bit of a hiatus, a bit with sewing but mostly blogging, but I do love to read others. Have a really lovely Summer, ours is a bit wet and soggy at the moment!
ReplyDeleteHi Maureen, thank you for your comment. Yay for having a happy hiatus, for both of us!! I hope your Summer is going be better and brighter!
DeleteHi Yoshimi, so nice to see you back. I love your oretty dress:) Hope you have a time to sew in summer.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, Hana! I always love your posts, so I thank you for blogging too!
DeleteLovely! I saw your dress on Instagram and am happy to be able to click to the pattern here. I really like your longer length.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jenny! It is a very useful pattern that you can use for many kind of fabrics. Though it wasn't showed nicely in the pictures, the fabric I used was a rather formal summer wool and it was a great match for the pattern.
DeleteVery pretty dress! I go through phases too! Just finished 2 failed projects so I'm not very motivated right now.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jenny! Let's hope we get nice winds for the victory very soon.
Deletevery pretty and I am so happy to see a post from you. Every time you sew that pattern I think about ordering it :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beth! I'm happy to be able to talk to you through internet, too! :))
DeleteI like all your versions of V2900. This one is beautiful, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, BMGM! Now it's my tradition to make one in June for coming Summer ;)
DeleteGorgeous as always! Hopefully sewing time will return soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margo! I love your new jeans, you look pretty in them, as always!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Carolyn! Things around us are getting better these days and I am very happy about it. I hope you're having a happy winter too!
DeleteSo lovely and like the way you paired the dress with cute little red shoes.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! (and these shoes are my best favorite at the moment ;))
DeleteYou and the dress look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!

DeleteSo lovely to see your smiling face and your beautiful new dress!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon!
DeleteIt's always inspiring to see your impeccable work! But I agree with other ladies...sometimes less is more. I hope you're having a great summer in Japan :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Maya! I hope you a great summer too. BTW I love your blog and your beautiful garments very much!!
DeleteSuch a beautiful dress on such a beautiful lady! And those oh-so-cute red shoes! You are always inspiring whenever you post. Hope things are better your way soon. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa! Hopefully I can make some new summer garments before the hot weather comes. We'll see...
Deletebeautiful, feminine dress, I love it. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm looking forward to seeing more.
It's a gorgeous dress and sometimes we just need to step away and take a creative break. Enjoy yours!
ReplyDeleteAh, so good to see that you are well! I bought this pattern admiring it on you but haven't sewn it yet. Maybe never, but it's there!
ReplyDeleteI have long breaks between sewing, too. It seems that I have to find a need to sew before it starts up again. Right now it's nightgowns as I can't find ready made that satisfy my needs, too sheer, too thick, whatever. Best part is that I get to use cotton florals that look too old fashioned for day wear. Love wearing them!
Ah nice to see you back! What a beautiful dress! I hope you enjoy your summer!
ReplyDeleteWe are here and love to see and hear from you! Such style and grace. It is always a joy to read what you have to share. And see your beautiful creations. You and our friend Carolyn are inspiring.
