top 2 - back and circle (Posted 16th May 2009)

i've cut the back piece out. the circle is drawn on satin with fray stopper and then cut out.

top 1 (Posted 16th May 2009)

cutting out my nice soft red fabric for sakura's top! i learnt something new!! Darting!!! the left side has been cut ready to be darted, the right side is pinned to be darted. it makes the top more fitted.

skirt complete (almost) (Posted 9th May 2009)

here is the skirt finished. i still need to add the small belt detail on the side but i need to make the rings first. done yay!!

buttons! skirt 3 (Posted 9th May 2009)

i decided that the best way to hold the skirt together was 2 buttons. the skirt is like a wrap around.
