DIY Midi Dresses

Hi there, Happy Friday 🌸🌸 Today's update is about two new dresses that I made to wear on special outings. The sleeveless orange midi dress was made in October and the long-sleeved dress was made at the beginning of this month.  Both patterns were self-drafted, and the dresses had ruffles at the bottom tier. And to complete the look, I added a removable bow and pinned it to the neckline.  For the sleeveless midi dress, I used a linen blend fabric a souvenir from my trip to Bangkok and the fabric was enjoyable to sew. As usual, the sewing process started with pinning and sewing the darts and then attached the facings to the front and back pieces right sides together. I pinned it around and then sewed it, but I left a few centimeters open to sew the shoulder lines. I love this method, the finished facing looks clean and neat. I closed the opening area with hand sewing. I gathered the bottom tiers and then sewed them to...

Julia Tote Bag



I drew the tote bag pattern by myself. I worked for more less one week, including the transfering the pattern, cutting the fabric and sewing it. The size approximately 43 x 35 cm.

Material needed:
- Home Decor Cotton for body bag, bottom bag, handle, and flap.
- Light Cotton for interfacing and pockets.
- Bias Piping
- Zipper
- Magnetic fastener
- Wooden Hoop, diagonal 4 cm
- Threads


The wooden hoop are really cute, I brought from the local market for MOP $5 each.


The picture above is inner bag, one side with the zipper and another side with two opening pockets.
