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

Jamoo



       I am very excited to announced the last project for palette challenge ss 2012 . I called the dress ''jamoo''. This is the second batik dress that I made, the fabric is very famous madura batik from east java - Indonesia. I bought two pairs of batik when I visited my hometown many months ago. Before I continue to write the details of the dress, click here if you want to see the first one.

      The dress not just cute but completely adorable sleeveless dress. Cord trimmed contrast yoke, two sweet green buttons, pockets, belt and embellishing the skirts with green bias tape. It's totally darling!

Here is the details of the dress:
  • Materials needed : the fabric is madura batik - 100% cotton, wine colour with small green and red traditional drawing from madura. 1/2 " green bias tape, two green self covered buttons, fusible interfacing, invisible zipper and hook-and-eye
  • The pattern is built by wendy dirndl dress, by adding two sweet buttons, pockets and belt.


       For the skirt, I sew 1/2" bias tape around the skirt about 6" up from the hem line / buttom of the skirt.


      The projects for palette challenge ss2012 are done! And here is the whole outfits that I sew for the challenge.


Happy sewing and see you soon on another sewing project:)
