Lace Long Sleeve Flowy Blouse

I'm finally back to writing on this blog after being busy for two months, I still sew some small items and mend a few clothes but haven't sewn new clothes.  Until two days before Valentine's arrived, I felt like I had to sew a new blouse to wear to dinner. The blouse had to be in the shade of pink, so I checked my stash and found 2 yards of lace fabric in fuchsia that I don't remember when I bought it. After I had the fabric, I started making the pattern (based on my previous self-drafted blouse pattern) I modified the pattern into a flowy blouse. The pattern was simple, a round neckline, gathered front and back yokes and gathered sleeves with elastic bands. Here is the pattern that I drafted, And after the pattern was done, I cut the fabric as usual. The sewing process was fun and turned out to be easier than I imagined. I sewed the neckline front and back yokes and then attached them to the gathered bodices as shown below. After that, I sewed the shoulder lines togeth

Tunic

I made this tunic especially for my mom. I used lightweight cotton with batik. Pleated style infront to add the space in the bust area. 3/4 long sleeve, as i always remember that's my mom favourite. I was so happy that the tunic fit well on her. She likes the style and the colour. The picture above is the front side of the tunic. The picture above is the back side of the tunic. I made the two covered button with the same material. I also add simple pleat on the back side. Well, it's all about my project on this moment. I wish I could post this project earlier, but delay with the long holidays with my family in Indonesia. And now, I am having so many ideas for my next project after the holidays. There is so many fabric sitting inside my sewing room waiting for me to sewing them all.
