Okay, so I have been a little fixated on sewing lately, and my poor knitting has fallen by the wayside, but hey, when the motivation hits, ya gotta go with it! I managed to make another blouse from the wonderful Machiko Kayaki home couture book:

Nice combo of pattern, fabric and buttons. I think I need to track down that book!
It looks like lots of bloggers have been branching out from their original handcrafts lately. It’s all good!
cuter than cute!
Very very cute blouse!
I just ordered her skirt book recently, so hopefully I will be able to decipher the patterns without being able to read Japanese.
I’ve been neglecting my knitting lately too, but I figured that I should go with what I feel like crafting at the moment. I’m sure that the urge to knit will return at some point.
Could you please post the isbn# pretty please? I would love to get my hands on this book! Your sewing is lovely!
So cute! It looks like a Japanese pattern somehow, must be the littl edetails and cuteness. Nice work.
WOW! You’re whipping out things so quickly! Love the blouse!
what a great blouse, very flattering. I really like the way the collar lies. I have been doing much more sewing as well, I think for two big reasons. The things I sew work up much quicker than knitting, and the cloth I buy is far, far cheaper than wool.
Awesome!! I have to order this book, the stuff is just too cute!! I always loved the peter pan collar. It’s adorable!
That looks fanastic on you. I really like the cut and the buttons are subtle but still interesting.
Love both those shirts! Looking forward to seeing more.
dude that came out super cute! 🙂 does a fleece fit over it? ha ha ha just kidding. which dress? what fabric? argh!
(and as to jan’s comment, i would say you were a sewer before you were a knitter, no?)
All of these great blouses you’ve been making? They’ll look so perfect with the Minx shoes!
So cute… both of them! And a dress next… can’t wait.
Great! That fabric is perfect for that shirt.
Yer killin’ me, you chic well-dressed thing, you. Just the idea of darts in the sleeves, the very idea! xox Kay
I am green with envy at all the home couture stuff you are pumping out! I have to get started!
ps the blouse looks fantastic!
nice!! and thanks so much for the help-hope the pie is already gone. . .
This shirt is so cute!
I absolutely adore Peter Pan collars — my fav! That blouse is adorable.
That’s utterly charming.
You must have the most awesome handmade wardrobe M. between your sewing and knitting. I only wish I could sew. Something about following PATTERNS that ruins it for me!
that’s adorable! how did i never think of using that fabric for clothing? (my crafty powers are beginning to atrophy)
