Hello friends!<\/p>\n

Well, happy spring! We’ve had a few warm days here and there, but mostly lots of teasing (and sneezing) going on as the seasons change. It’s been a busy week, so I’ll keep this post short and sweet. I’ll see you here next week when we’ll have lots of fun new things planned for you.<\/p>\n

Pinterest Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are you sewing this weekend? How about a new spring dress for yourself? Here’s a little inspiration: use the Liesl + Co Bistro Dress<\/a> sewing pattern for a very similar look.<\/p>\n

Or what about a simple Playtime Dress<\/a>? I’m making one for S right now, and it’s really fast to make!<\/p>\n

And this is what I want. Right. Now.<\/p>\n

Weekend Reading (and Watching)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I loved this history of ramen noodles<\/a>, and it took me right back to college where Todd and I met when I started designing posters for the school’s film arts society. I think one of the first posters I designed was for Tampopo<\/a>, so I feel like that film played a role in our college experience and relationship. Ten years after we got married, we took a trip to Japan and ate at a tiny out-of-the-way noodle shop in Tokyo where all the locals came for lunch. I had no idea that our neighborhood in New York plays a role in the development ramen culture, and I was surprised what a recent food ramen actually is! I think of it as traditional Japanese food.<\/li>\n
  2. I promised my workshop students in Birmingham this link: how to understand and dress for your proportions<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. I know, another article about buying less and buying better quality<\/a>. Nevertheless, I found this article to be interesting and somewhat encouraging.<\/li>\n
  4. Those beautiful vintage mother-of-pearl buttons in your stash? It’s highly likely that they originated from Muscatine, Iowa<\/a>. Who knew? (And thanks to Jennifer for sending this link.)<\/li>\n
  5. Too busy to cook? What about too busy to wash a bowl after you eat a bowl of cereal<\/a>?<\/li>\n
  6. If you’re going to be in Atlanta this summer, do me a favor and don’t miss the Iris van Herpen<\/a> show, will you? Here’s an article<\/a> that tells more about it. I’m a huge fan and want to hear all about it.<\/li>\n
  7. Turning from new to old, here are three lovely stories about designers incorporating traditional techniques<\/a>–and including the artisans who practice those techniques–in their work.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
