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.

And then, I pinned the neckline before top-stitching it. I decided

This is another project for my palette challenge ss2012. I finished this top 5 days ago, but only today I am having time to post it on my little blog.
The style is very simple, basic on built by wendy shift dress. I will explain to you what I did with the pattern on the below post.

I've been reading and learning the book Built by Wendy Dresses, for this tops I used the shift dress pattern. I had to shorten the dress pattern more less right in the hip line. I created the neck line with a boatneck style. I also removed the bust dart and finished with high low hem line. No zipper or button inserted in this top.

Happy weekend everyone:))
