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.

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.

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!
