Hi there, today's post is about a new dress I sewed last month. It's a midi-style dress with puff sleeves and a front tie. I made this dress to wear to a special dinner. For the pattern: I lengthened my selfdrafted v-neck dress into midi length. And for the fabric, I used a linen blend in green color. I bought the fabric in Bangkok during my summer holiday in August. The dress pattern had 6 pieces, front and back darts and I fused the facings with fusible interfacing. As usual, the sewing process was relaxing and it finished faster than I planned. The picture below shows the process of sewing the zipper, I pinned it before sewing it using the zipper foot. To make the puff sleeves, I gathered the sleeves before pinning and sewing them to the armhole.  After attaching the sleeves, I sewed the sleeve allowance 1 cm and the hem allowance 1.5 cm.

Summer has arrived. Finally I feel the warm weather here in my place:) I miss summer so badly because winter here in my place is longer than I expected. I am planning to make many more summer tops, dresses and shorts. Yeah...look like I will have time for all of that:))

Well, talking about this batik top, I am wearing today for the first time ever since I made it. Here the details of my batik top:
  • It's very simple and easy to make. Very good for the beginner. The top has short sleeve, round neckline, bustdart and lace on the hemline.
  • Material needed for the top: 1,5 yards batik cotton, buttons and lace.
  • I need 6 hours in total to finished this top, including making muslin and ironing.
The picture below is the front side of my top. I inserted the lace on the way of my shoulder down to my chest, then I stitched the three buttons in the middle of the front top.


Here is the top back, I made a tear drop style on it and finished with covered button. I think it's very difficult to see on the picture :(

The hem line finished nicely with the lace that I found inside my stash. I was lucky that the colour matching with the top:)

 Happy sewing everyone and thanks for stopping by on my blog:)
