Fabric Project No.7 "Flying Kite"

Happy Tuesday, friends!

I hope you all are enjoying summertime. #fabricproject No.7 is here!

The other day I was outdoors on a steamy sunny day. I looked up, and the blue sky was so joyous without clouds, so mysteriously endless. Light breeze was swifting by. Then I looked down, and saw kids playing with colorful kites, their tails waving in the wind... I was inspired!

I remember seeing S/S 2012 collection of 3.1 Phillip Lim and I thought his "kite" inspiration was so genius. While sorting out my studio fabric, I found sand linen and green sheer cloths and I know they've been sitting inside a dusty closet for a while without a particular purpose. I immediately knew how to put them to good use! I thought I would tweak the idea and create a shift dress.. We'll see in a few days how it will come out!

Here's the inspiration:

3.1 Phillip Lim S/S 2012

 And here's my version:

Stay tuned for a completed design in a few days.
