Midi Dress With Puff Sleeves And Front Tie

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

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.
