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.

Palette Challenge - Spring & Summer 2012



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!
