Designing a wedding dress for my best friend. From design idea to realization

Up until now, I would say that Thai Silk clothes are still worn in limited group of Thais. Probably because the good quality Thai silk one tends to be a lot more expensive than fast fashion clothing, but if you once ever wear real Thai silk, you will understand it worths the price. 現在のタイにタイシルクが着ている人は少ない。普通の衣服と比べると、高質のタイシルクはすごく高いのです。しかし、一回着てみると、それが高い値段に見合うことがわかるでしょう。 We got this beautiful tie dyed silk piece from one silk maker whom we have known long ago. Each piece is very l

As I wrote in the title, it has all started from my love of having fancy things on my head.... ok, this sounds a bit strange but it was something like that. Probably when I was younger, my hair was always in mess, so I had to cover it up with something, or I just thought I look prettier with it...haha I tend to love beret than other items just because here in Bangkok is a super warm, and humid city, it is difficult to me to put on hat all day, but beret can be easily fold int

This time Japanese Daruma doll takes the lead role of our design. Taken from the Japanese craft and illustration books, we used applique technique recreating the drawing. Different materials were gathered, also Thai batik fabric, put together to make our unique Daruma doll ornaments. Although we used both Thai traditional fabric combined with Japanese traditional design, we think the outcome is very unique and interesting. How do you think? 今回だるま人形は私たちのデザインの主人公になりました。日本の技術と絵本

One day when I was sitting and sewing this beret at a cafe, there was a lady, I would guess she might be old enough to be my mother, came and said to me " This beret is lovely, you do it as your hobby or you sell it too?" , " I do sell it too" I replied. " I think my mom would look good on this beret, you see, my mom she always has to be on bed, not that she would go out anyway, but I believe when all relatives come and visit her, she would look so delighted if she has this b

We had a very short time stopping by this place yesterday, located at the opposite side of Esplanade department store (MRT: National Cultural Center station). A big area with nicely done illuminated displays. Inside there are a few exhibitions of King Rama 9. We didn't do much photos but here are what we would like to share. The event is up until January 6th, 2018 (6PM - 11PM) which is this Saturday. Hurry up and Enjoy ❤️ Happy New Year everyone. งานศิลป์แสง แห่งแรงบันดาลใจ จ

We are still in the atmosphere of Christmas....at least for me ....is it only me? Anyway, sharing these photos is about the good time. This dress is made from Thai Silk. The using of Japanese Shibori  technique makes the silk looks extraordinary. To us, Thai Silk doesn't have to always be so formal, but the glamorous look is one thing you can't take away from it. #THAI #ThaiSilk #Bangkok #Thailand #Dress #Handmade #Shibori #tiedye #絞り #バンコク #ハンドメイド #タイ #シルク #タイシルク

A friend of mine asked me to create special presents for her friends which suit their personalities. Ok, what is being more unique than each person's face. #クリスマス #ハンドメイド #バンコク #タイ #Handmade #Christmas #presents #embroidery #Bangkok #Thailand

Christmas is just behind the corner and I believe many parties will be happened during a day or two, same as mine. Since a lot of people might be away during the season, the pop up party can't be avoided, and it is urgent! I went through Pinterest, and decided that despite the fact that Thailand has only Summer all year, this year I will dress up as Snowflake. What I need for this costume are very simple, but the most important one is one meter of woolen fabric..... ok and gl

Our family's new apartment is still under construction. From the last post of "Super Home Sweet Home 2" where we were talking about how we gathered our mom's collection of lamps. This is one part of them; the blue team, we put them all in dining zone with the combination of red and blue of furniture. The combination of the opposite colors doesn't always have a shape mood ...in my opinion. ตอนนี้ห้องคอนโดของที่บ้านก็ยังคงดำเนินการตกแต่งแบบค่อยเป็นค่อยไป ต่อการโพสที่แล้ว(เมื่อส

Today item is easy jacket made from Indigo Japanese cotton. The shades of indigo make my Friday so calm and creative.

Using Thai fabric on works has always been challenging for us. lately, Thai silk and Thai cotton are being used by many Thai designers who want to show their ideas, so the question is how to be different? Being your true self is one big answer, but how to translate that into designs? タイの布を使うことはいつも私にとって挑戦になります。最近は、多くのタイのデザイナーたちにタイシルクとタイの木綿を使います。その中で何か私がオリジナルなものを作るのは難しいでしょうか。ここでは自分らしさを失わないことが大事だと思いますが、その自分らしさをデザインにどのように活かしたらいいでしょうか。 This lemon yellow hand-weaved cotton from the

Last month I got one assignment from a customer (and a good friend) to design a decoration from demin jacket for one Thai actress who also happen to be my friend named Rodmay ( ok, we are all friends in this world haha). 先月は友達に私のもう一人の友達、タイ女優のロドメイさんのためにデニムジャケットを飾ることが注文されました。飾りのデザインは自由でした。知っている限り、私の友達のロドメイさん冷たい色が好きで、彼女は可愛らしくから、私は花のレースを使い決めましたが、ホワイトとグレイのモノトーン色を選びました。ジャケットの背中側にはステッチ技法で彼女の名前の最初の文字である「R」を刺繍しました。 The theme was no theme, so it is all up to me. I know Rodmay likes coo

Among of so many Hill Tribe fabrics that our mom has been kept for long, my sister took some of them to remake, and this is one of them. From the "sailor collar" inspiration, she turns the classic fabric into a bit modern style clothes, but still let the hill tribe fabric be the center of the design. 私たちのお母さんが持っている山岳民族の民族衣装布のコレクションの中に、お姉さんは一つを選んで、新しいものを作り直します。彼女は、山岳民族の民族衣装布を中心としながら、セーラーカラーからインスピレーションを受けて、 新しく見える服を作っています。 I think what so important on using old fabric in modern

I just finished my new work. I felt like doing something feel light and sweet, so I came up with this. Like flowers that fall and float from tree by the cool breeze in Spring....wait, I know it is Autumn now, but in Thailand is all year Summer, so I have a right to imagine. lol Since I use see-through fabric, I use organzas silk for decorating as well, to make more layers. Using little flower laces gives much more delicate look than big one. Finished! Let's celebrate with hot

Ok, let's order! We o

Just spotted new hall display at Siam Discovery department store in Bangkok using papercut-style work. All the same size with different colors, repeatedly put together may looks so simple, but make an incredible look of display. This type of technique can be adapted to any decorations such as T-shirt, party decoration, Christmas tree, etc. Later I will try using this craft technique and see what we can get. :) วันก่อนไปเดินสยามดิสคัฟเวอรี่ เห็นคนกำลังติดตั้งดิสเพลย์ใหม่ในโถงช
