silk-top-monoI found this pattern on the internet and is by the Japanese designer, Nani Iro. She has a great website that used to be a little difficult to navigate as most of it was in Japanese characters, but she seems to have had parts of it translated now. It is particularly good for baby and children’s clothes but has one or two adult pieces on too. Here is the link to her site:

Unlike my own patterns which are already drawn, this one you will have to draw up yourself.

Shown here is my version made in Liberty silk. For more information about the size and ideas for fabrics have a look at the blog.

      Hi Ashlynn, I came across you on Pinterest yesterday – love the name of your site! Feel free to share my stuff on your website but please link back to my blog posts rather than linking directly to the PDFs ( I can see you do that anyway). I will upload some of my patterns to your Pinterest board – thanks for the invitation. Laura x

        I’ll be sure to link directly to your blog and also change that in the other tutorials I have up. Not sure what people prefer more but going to blog definitely makes sense now that you say it 🙂
