Versace, folded in an envelope

More designer patterns.

The envelope needs some surgery, but look at that side hip ruffle. I say make it in a mid-weight crêpe de Chine.  There are very few Versace designs that Vogue made patterns of, this was no. 2375. I wish this draping style or even just sarouel trousers, would make a comeback in the US. (Update July 2016: Oh, I guess they have...)

Boots of Cover

It was a long, rainy walk from the Ebina station when I asked myself why I always did this to myself: suffer wet feet when abroad. The next afternoon I scoured the Shibuya shops for a pair of travel rain boots, light wellies, or as these seem to go by, "Shoes Cover of Boots Type", which in my mind I still call "Shoes Type Boots of Cover". I also scored a set of retractable earbuds with 3 different pads sizes to custom fit your ear's outer canal. It seems that if you think of it, they're already selling it in Japan.
These "Shoes Cover of Boots Type" pack flat, taking no room in your bag. I didn't have my phrase book on hand to ask if I could try them on, so I bought two sizes. If I had the phrase book, surely I would have been asking, "Size rain buy, for try, me the to boots, please?" and ended up buying three pairs. This is where I offered the too-big-for-me pair.

Child-friendly weaving

This table loom would be great for small projects or, as seemingly intended, for children to learn about weaving.
There is no app for that. It was sold from  here.
