Childrenswear












After the New Year, I confirmed the date to fly back to Hong Kong. I'm also going to Osaka to visit an old friend and her family. Had been thinking what sorts of things I can bring to her family. As she has two very cute daughters, one at five and another at one, I decided to make some clothes for them.

I'm not so sure their sizes, so tried to design clothes which are easily fitted. At the end, I made a printed blouse for her five-year-old daughter. This light weight Liberty printed fabric inspired me to design a simple raglan sleeves blouse for her. For accessories, I made a pink origami flower hair band using silk organza. I also finished a little corduroy patch-work dress for the one-year-old girl. All buttons and waistband are adjustable so that she can still wear it when she's getting bigger.


It was my first time to make childrenswear. I found there are lot of fun but also challenging at the same time. I really hope they will like the garments I made for them.

New Year














































I had a wonderful break in Paris in the New Year. I was so impressed in the Musée du Louvre. The interior atmosphere is totally breathtaking. Also visited many nice shops including the best concept store in Paris - Merci. Love the displays for Christmas. I wish I could visit it more often.

My New Chino







Always dream of a pair of chino pants which fits me well. Taken a couple of weeks to finish this chino. New experiments on the box pleats and hidden belt loops details.

Before Christmas








Minus Sun's stall in Bust Magazine Christmas Craftacular



Museum of Childhood















































I was pretty busy in last couple of weeks with no time to update this blog. Blame on the Christmas, busy with shopping and making stuff...

On 27 November, I went to Bust Magazine Christmas Craftacular in York Hall, East London. It was a great event with lots of interesting stalls. After that, I visited V&A Museum of Childhood. There are so many adorable old toys and clothing. I was really inspired by those vintage graphics and hand made children-wear.

The following few weeks, I have been preparing Christmas presents for my friends. I finished a patchwork cushion cover and two leather pencil / glasses cases. Christmas is always exciting for everyone!
