       I am very excited to announced the last project for palette challenge ss 2012 . I called the dress ''jamoo''. This is the second batik dress that I made, the fabric is very famous madura batik from east java - Indonesia. I bought two pairs of batik when I visited my hometown many months ago. Before I continue to write the details of the dress, click here if you want to see the first one.

      The dress not just cute but completely adorable sleeveless dress. Cord trimmed contrast yoke, two sweet green buttons, pockets, belt and embellishing the skirts with green bias tape. It's totally darling!

Here is the details of the dress:
  • Materials needed : the fabric is madura batik - 100% cotton, wine colour with small green and red traditional drawing from madura. 1/2 " green bias tape, two green self covered buttons, fusible interfacing, invisible zipper and hook-and-eye
  • The pattern is built by wendy dirndl dress, by adding two sweet buttons, pockets and belt.


       For the skirt, I sew 1/2" bias tape around the skirt about 6" up from the hem line / buttom of the skirt.


      The projects for palette challenge ss2012 are done! And here is the whole outfits that I sew for the challenge.


Happy sewing and see you soon on another sewing project:)
