I suppose I’m allowed to post this since it’s up on Amazon 😉Latest book illustration (AKA labor of love) to be published in September 2019 (early summer in the UK). This one is done with all layered watercolor and I’ve estimated 1,000s of brushstrokes—if you think about that, it’s actually a lot of intense, fine motor work for one little shoulder (rinse, palette mixing, test, paint, repeat). I’ve switched to hot press watercolor paper and the colors have been reproduced AMAZINGLY. More images to come with the official press release. I guess I only illustrate books about rainbows. Hopefully Isabel Wyatt is pleased somewhere out there in the spiritual world. #thekingdomofbeautifulcolors #saraparrilli #waldorfillustration #isabelwyatt

I made a bra(lette). Free pattern #barrettbralette by @mmadalynne . It’s not 100% perfect but it’s pretty close and I will make some slight pattern modifications next time. I think my favorite thing is how the lace flowers/scallop edge match up! Since it’s a free pattern, I can’t complain too much about the instructions but I’d give them a solid 3 out of 5—not clear enough for beginners and there are unnecessarily large photos of some steps while there are others that aren’t photographed at all. There are however some great videos on the assembling and sewing process. Regardless I mostly ended up using what I’d learned from the two swim tops I recently made. Since I didn’t line the inner cup pieces (experiment on my part), I used bra channeling (my new favorite thing) in the center front to stabilize the tension. I also used it for the ring tabs since I realized that the scallop edge was too wide to fold over and the unlined lace needed extra support. Should have waited for the extra wide plush bra band to arrive but the 5/8” is good enough. Last three photos are from the second one I started while I waited for the elastic to arrive. Lined inner cups are more stable but perhaps a little less fun (sexy) and somehow remind me of a figure skating costume 😉 Notions are from @emeralderinsews and lace and power net are from @surgefabricshop Note: I really love this power net—thin, strong, nice hand, and just enough stretch.
