Wiksten and Bari J

 One of my best friends, Janice got me hooked on the Wiksten Tova Top By Tova, Pattern Here I know a lot of sewing blogers made this pattern and it is very popular. I might be a little late in the game but I love this top!
I made mine in Bari J's beautiful Emmy Grace fabric collection by Art Gallery Fabrics. I used the VOILE floral floats fresh.
I made this blouse in the Largest size. My friend Janice made about 10 Wikstens! She made the Medium and that size fits me as well. But the larger size is great if you want to wear your garments longer and loser. I love this Wiksten pattern its is amazing and is very flattering as well as easy to make. It has a packet and no buttons yay!

The Lovely Sanae Ishida and her gorgeous creations using "Cherie" #cheriehop

 This Summer I was enamored by trying to sew garments. It is not something that I have been interested since I graduated college, with all the quilts and needle work and crafts that I love to do, I had very little patience for garment sewing but suddenly my fire was kindled. As I was researching new patterns and blogs, I stumbled upon a stunning blog by Sanae Ishida who's tag line is: "A crafty little atelier in a grey city" Her sewing , crafts and paintings have a mark of elegance sofistication simplicity and beauty.
VIEW HER BLOG HERE
Well needless to say I simply fell in love. And the photography had me mesmerized. I immediately wrote to Sanae and to my amazement she immediately wrote back. (Not everyone wrties back even if you offer free fabric believe it or not!)
Well, Sanea asked for 2 fabrics skews from my Cherie fabric collection:
Les Points power and  En Route Sable.  And this is the gorgeous dress she created for her daughter "K".  Please read all the details of how she made this dress on her blog.
