I love buying small things during my travels to remind myself of the place I visited (we all get souvenirs, right). While I was in NY in February, I met up with Sonja of Ginger Makes at Garment District (more update later on our meetup!). I didn’t buy a lot, but one of the things I bought was one yard of this mint green cotton. The fabric is very soft. It feels like a gauze fabric. I also bought the same color elastic, hoping to launch into making lingerie.
Recently I have been busy making clothes for the customers and just did not have enough time to make things for myself. Then I realized whenever I went out, I am wearing some clothes that I either thrifted or bought at forever 21, which is okay, but I get asked why I don’t wear what I make. I needed to update my own wardrobe to better represent my brand.
I only had one yard of this fabric, so what I could make was limited. I wanted to make a long flowy dress, but I didn’t have enough fabric. So, I used the same pattern as this dress, just added a peplum below the waist band.
And guess who took these photos….{find me elsewhere: shop, facebook, etsy, twitter, pinterest}

Ginger says
This is so cute! I love it! You shouldn’t sew only for others– your clothes are too adorable to not wear! Come back to NYC!!
Chie says
Thank you! I love this new addition to my closet! I already wore it twice since I made it.
