Reminder: LA Sewist Meet-up 2/21/15

Don't forget sewing peeps, there will be an LA-area Sewist meet-up this month!! Come join us to view awesome costumes, meet fellow sewists, and shop for fabric together!

When: Saturday, February 21st at 11:45am**
Where: Hollywood Costume Exhibit (afterwards at Mood for fabric shopping)
6067 Wilshire Blvd, LA 90036
(the Wilshire May Company Building on the corner of Wilshire and Fairfax)

Exhibition Ticket: $20 for adult ticket
Purchase tickets using this link.

I apologize for the short notice, but hopefully you read about it on Instagram or on some of the sewing bloggers' websites {Marrie of Purls and Pleats, Kathy of The Nerdy Seamstress, and Erin of Miss Crayola Creepy}. This is a super informal, casual get-together. I had so much at the last meet-up in June that I really wanted to have another one and meet more amazing sewists, but I'm not so into planning large events, hence the non-polished meet-up announcement (and lack of organized lunch, which Erin did an amazing job of planning).

*Please note, tickets for the exhibition are timed every 15 minutes. I bought a ticket for Noon (12pm) and the website asks you to arrive 15 minutes early. I'm not sure how many tickets are available for each time slot, but it is highly encouraged you purchase your ticket in advance. The next time slot is 12:15pm, so if we can't all go in together, hopefully we won't be separated by too much time.

Here is a map of the area and parking info.

Please pass along this info to anyone who may be interested. There are a lot of sewing bloggers/enthusiasts in the LA area and I only know of a very small percentage of them so I'm counting on word of mouth to let people know about it.

Also, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know if you're thinking of coming so I know who to look out for and expect. You can leave a comment or email me at kaorumarie.blog at gmail [dot] com.

Hope to see you there!

{Travel} Tokyo Train Travel

One of the things I obsessed over while planning my trip to Tokyo was train travel. I knew we could sight-see all over Tokyo by just using the train, but how exactly would we do it? What tickets did we need? How much were the fares? What lines to take? I consulted with my brother (who lived there for a couple years in the 2000s, my mom (who was born and raised in Japan and lived there till her mid-20s and has gone back every now and then over the years), and friends. I also read a lot of blogs and websites scouring for info. If you're traveling to Tokyo and only staying in Tokyo, which is what we did, then here are some train travel tips to save you some headaches. Do note that I'm notoriously frugal, but in some cases I'm not always suggesting the cheapest option. Sometimes, it's worth paying a few extra yen to save time and travel easier. 1. Choose a Hotel Near the JR Yamanote Line My #1 suggestion for visiting Tokyo, is book a hotel near one of the stations al...

What's your definition of "Work Appropriate" when it comes to dresses? Of course, one's work environment will determine the definition of "work appropriate" so it's not necessarily a one-size-fits-all situation. I started drafting this post before I read Charlotte's recent post about dressing for work and loved reading her post and the discussion in the comments. Personally, I work in a fairly conservative industry. I'm an engineer, I work in an office, and when I go to client meetings, project interviews, public outreach meetings, and professional work events, the guys are in suits (mostly with ties) and the women are in similar attire (suits, pencil skirts w/ nice blouse, sheath or fit-and-flare dresses). Go to Banana Republic or Ann Taylor's website and check out the work styles. That's my "work appropriate" attire. Apparently my husband severely disagrees. And I found out we had drastically different opinions regar...

{Finished Objects} 1...2...3 Monetas!

I have several Monetas to share with you today. I thought about doing separate posts for all three since they were made with different types of knits and I constructed each of them a bit differently. Buuuuutttt, I figured that might get a bit boring for ya'll. So instead this will be quite a photo-heavy post. I made my first Moneta Dress in a black ponte knit that I got a Jo-Anns. I was so excited to make this dress that I couldn't wait till the weekend to find a knit so I stopped by Jo-Anns on my way home from work one day and bought the solid knit that had the nicest touch. There's not much stretch, but it's really soft. I originally cut the bodice in a size XS, but due to the lack of stretch in this fabric, I could barely fit it over my shoulders and bust so I re-cut the bodice in a size S (I don't know about you, but I find that Colette Patterns suggests a lot more fabric than is needed, at least for the smaller sizes; thankfully this time I bought the su...
