More Christmas gifts. These matching tunics (or muumuus for alliteration's sake) for Charlie and my niece have a lucky kitty on the front and a fish on the back, inspired by the Japanese print used for the cat applique. Charlie has been asking me to make her something yellow, and this textured Japanese fabric with a tiny dessert print certainly fits the bill (and inspired the mochi name). The colors turned out a bit dull in these photos, but they are really quite vivid and cheery.
These projects represent the latest iterations of the peasant dress (blogged here and here) with new features like contrasting neck and sleeve trim used to encase the elastic. The short-sleeved version includes little pleats at the cuff rather than elastic, which make the sleeves puffy in a different way and a bit dressier.
