It has been months since last time I have blogged and (again!) many things have happened in my life and I believe and hope for the best. Anyway, I've gained much appreciation for people who blog regularly and frequently about their creations and ideas, How do they do it?<br />
<br />
Anyway, I love this new creation of mine, Actually it has been a while that it was done, but the weather was too cold for it and it was not photographed. Finally I found the time to photograph it and voila! here it is.<br />
<br />
It is made of this beautiful navy polka dot fabric in 100% cotton.<br />
<br />

I used a pattern from the book "I am cute dresses" and I made a few changes, specifically I narrowed down the waistband a little bit, because I didn't like it that wide, I also let the front triangles (cups) overlap, so that one can wear it bra-less especially in warm weather, it should feel good and free.<br />
<br />
Till next time then, I hope it doesn't take me another 4 months.<br />

Maybe the reason is I post once a year. Anyway, I quit my last position to move in with my husband. Now I live in Orlando, Florida and I will be an adjunct soon starting next semester. We have also visited Tokyo for a few days which was fantastic and I hope I can go back again for a longer visit.<br />

During my absent months, I have done a couple of sewing projects. From the time that animal print became a trend again, I wanted to sew a zebra skirt. But I found out that I also love Cheetah and Leopard prints. When I saw this fabric, although it wasn't a real animal print, I though I give it a shot. It is a 100% cotton fabric and that's why I liked it. This is how it turned out.<br />

For my first project, I found a project in one of the books I bought
when we were in Korea. I used cotton and linen and I think it looks
cute. <br />
