Although it’s still hot during the day here in Japan, I started to feel fall in the air. The air is crisp in the morning and at night. I began planning for the fall/winter sewing. As a starter, I sketched new designs. I don’t always sketch when I start on new designs, but I am trying to be better at it..
And as soon as I sketch, my hands start to get itchy and I have to jump on my sewing machine to turn the sketch into a real clothes.
What are you working on this fall?

Ooh, I love your sketches! I’m trying to focus on wearable separates this fall– fun wardrobe building blocks!
Chie says
separates are great idea! when i go to my closet, i always realize that im in terrible need for more separates, especially tops, but i always end up making myself dresses. why is that?!
Inna says
This yellow dress is darling! In terms of fabric, I’d like to sew more knits and silks. In terms of style, I’d like to create several classical and feminine outfits.
Chie says
Hi Inna, I haven’t ventured into sewing silks much, so I wonder what your experience will be like! Let me know how it goes..:) I like sewing knits. No darts make me happy!
Ai says
these are pretty sketches! i’m trying to sew simple fall dresses that i can layer with coats and trying to finish my first knitting scarf.
Chie says
Thank you Ai! I can’t believe the seasons of coats and jackets are approaching so soon.
