I bought this stripy cotton few years ago in Finland. I didn't know what to do with it but I liked it a lot. Dark blue-red stripes look really cool but this is also such kind of pattern which from distance makes your eyes tired. Anyway the textile was used finally.
I made a dress with kimono sleeves (found in Burda). The sleeves were a little bit tricky but everything is a matter of practice. I decided to sew inseam pockets instead of patch pockets - I found it really easy technique thanks to Burda step by step manual.
The dress is very comfortable and unexpectedly works out perfectly on a hot summer day!

Materials: cotton, zipper.
