thinking of spring (part II)

Some more inspiration for spring/summer clothes, from my new japanese sewing pattern books



Otona no couture (Stylish dress book)
ISBN 4579111850








Cotton and linen
ISBN 4277722520









And tomorrow I'm trying rafting for the first time, so wish me luck ! Have a great weekend :)

That second book - cotton and linen - looks beautiful and simple. Can you tell me where to find it, please?

What is the sizing like for each of these books. The patterns are appealing but I have quite the bust (42") and imagine that without doing some serious pattern alteration, I'd be out of luck.

Olá Tânia! Aonde vais fazer rafting? Ao rio Paiva? Também já fiz (várias vezes no Paiva, uma vez no Minho) e é muito giro. Há lá uma parte para dar um salto de uma rocha e é uma maravilha!

Boa descida!

Sarah, the sizes on these books tend to be on the smaller side. But since they're usually very simple and straightforward patterns I think it would be relatively easy to make them bigger.
