inspiration

When I was in elementary school, I used to love water painting lessons at art class. Something about mixing colors and spreading them over a white sheet of paper was so soothing and relaxing to me as a kid. One time I drew water color cherry blossom trees and got many compliments from the teacher..maybe that’s why I remember the class as a fond memory.

Anyway, these silk tie-dye reminded me of the elementary art class. Each piece is so unique and some of the details are handsewn! Wish I could own one, why does it cost $500 a pop…

The photoshoot of my mini Spring collection is coming up this weekend! I am busy sewing, preparing and coordinating for the shoot, and really excited to share the result here sometime next week. I am working on a fun collaboration which I can’t wait to share with you very soon..

Here are some of the photo inspirations that I’ve collected for the shoot. All the top photos are from Liebemarlene Vintage and two bottom are from That’s Chic.

We are aiming to catch the soft light from the background, and the main shoot will be done right before sunset..I’m really hoping that it won’t rain this weekend! Wish me a luck❤

Wow, I love this collection so much. Everything looks so fresh and new after gray and black dominant winter collections.

I am inspired by the top left dress, and hoping that I will be able to find similar fabric to make a dress like that sometime!
I also like how conservative and classy these clothes are – the neckline is higher and those pink and beige pleated skirts have moderate length. It seems a bit hard to pull off the below knee length skirt, but I certainly want to try this Spring.

Wide leg pants are in my to-sew list as well. I think Bella pattern from Burdastyle fits the bill. I already have pattern downloaded and cut out. Unfortunately high waisted design is not really working for my pregnant body, so I have to wait for a bit until I give birth!
