Guest Post: Stylish Dresses

Images by THE WORK ROOM

Hi everyone! My name is Amy from the illustration blog Pikaland and I'm going to fill in for Ez for a post or two while she settles into her new home in Oklahoma.

I love pretty things -- which I have to point out, isn't just all about illustrations! I'm a girly girl at heart, and though my hands are better at drawing, I wish I could master sewing so that I can make these pretty dresses from the book "Stylish Dress Book 3." Japanese patterns for dresses tend to be a little too oversized for my tastes, with some of the patterns looking more like loose and shapeless (albeit stylish) overalls than dresses befitting lovely ladies, so I was happy to see that some of the patterns in the book are fresh and well-fitted.

D.I.Y. Removable Fabric Wallpaper

I am crazy in love with this D.I.Y. Removable Fabric Wallpaper idea from Ruche blog.  I wonder how easy the cleanup for this project would be in the long-term?  I might just have to give it a try and find out.  They've also got some more fabulous DIY wall treatment ideas that can be found right here.  Enjoy!  xo Ez
