Over the weekend I purchased this lovely Japanese craft book, I Love to Make Now Dress and Tunic (I love the interpretation). Another book chalk full of simple, clean designs.
Take a gander at all the loveliness inside...
The one thing that draws me to Japanese craft books, is the simplicity and clean lines. The occasional trends are cute and quite hip, no doubt, but it's the classic styles that stay true to my heart.
Ah! I love this top. Simple, ay? I have plans for this design...
Look at this pattern. A simple wrap dress... or how about a spring robe to lounge about in?
My heart swoons over this one. A light sheer fabric that drapes your body with a little camisole underneath. Perfect for the warmer days ahead.
Such a yummy book. You can get it here, along with many other books you can peek at. One of my many favorite places to go.

BUT, before I go...
Here's what we're going to make tomorrow! Come and join me , won't you? I'd love to see you again!

Happy Monday!
