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.

Palette Challenge - Spring & Summer 2012

By -


I might be a little late to be participating on Palette Challenge - Spring & Summer 2012, I should starting this challenge by the middle of april but only now I had time to start it. Anyway, it's better a little late than never!
This Challenge is about making a mini wardrobe for the spring & summer, and make it according to your plan.

I already choosed the fabric, pale pink colour, yellow colour, beige colour and batik green. Lucky me, I still have many fabric left inside my stash that I did not use.
Now, my head is spinning arround! What kind of garment that I really like and will suit my everyday life????? The answer is: as usual, dresses, tops, pants and shorts.

About the pattern, I planned to make dresses from basic bodice pattern and built by wendy book pattern (because that's what I own right now), tops from sorbetto pattern and pants/shorts from burda.

I excited with this challenge, and want to go to sewing my first challenge right now. But before I go, I will show you my moodboard that I created from Polyvore




Happy sewing everyone!
