We've had a series of very hot and beautiful summer days here, so we've been enjoying going on trips and swimming and hanging out on the beach. Two days ago, we went swimming in the sea at midnight, under the full moon. It was the best thing I've done all summer.
I finally got brave enough to cut into the piece of Nani Iro double-gauze I bought last year (from this Japanese etsy shop). I had been hoarding it and not able to decide on a project. But the sunshine prompted me to make something light and airy- I used Simplicity pattern #6239. It's a little on the, shall we say, 'tent-like' side, but fairly cool (temperature-wise) and nice to wear. And I think it would improve with a belt of some sort to give some shape.
This Nani Iro double-gauze is lovely to handle: it's soft yet kind of thick and I found it easy to sew. I truly adore the other designs too- you can see more and some project ideas at the website here.
