Hi there, welcome back 🌸 I refashioned my old scarf into a cozy tunic and love how it turned out. I planned to do this many months ago and glad I finally did it.  This tunic can be worn as a layer or as it is. It is so comfy and warm, perfect for the cooler weather we are having now.  The material of my scarf is a wool blend in a lovely print. I got it from a friend 15 years ago. The refashioning process was easy and fast, I started with making the neckline. Cut the length and use the leftover fabric for the neckband. I pinned and sewed the neckband to the neckline. And here is the look of the neckline on the wrong side. I got a little problem, the neckline was gaping and I reduced both sides by adding darts in both sides at the shoulder lines 0.50". And happy it worked, it fit nicely after adding the darts. After that, I measured 15'' from the hemline up to the armhole, pinned and sewed both sides. I...

Me-Made-May'13 Day 1-6

By -
It's time for me to start documenting MMM'13, a challenge to wear self-stitched garments or anything handmade during the whole moth of May.

Day 1
On Wednesday 1st, I wore My pink shorts. I, my husband and little Eduardo went out to the new garden here in our area and continue walked around in our small city, then we went for lunch at Chinese restaurant nearby.

Day 2
On Thursday 2nd, I wore My Shift Dress. We went for lunch in our friend restaurant (O Santos Comida Portuguesa) here in our city. I took a picture in the main square near the place where we had lunch.

Day 3
On Friday 3rd, I wore shop-made outfit but the bag is me-made. Same story as the day before, we went for lunch at O Santos Comida Portuguesa again.
As the Friday theme is water, I decided to take a photo near the river on the way back home but unluckily the rain is coming on the time when we took a photo. Well, I got double water:)
Here is the bag link, The G Bag

Day 4
On Saturday 4th, I wore my old dress. Sorry that I didn't blogged it, a very simple self-drafted  sleeveless dress with front and back gathered skirt. I made this dress just after I gave a birth to my son Eduardo.
We went to shopping at the shopping area in Macau ( New Yaohan and around Leal Senado). I also went to fabric store and bought some more fabrics for my stash.
I took a photo in front of Casino Lisboa and Whynn Casino, sorry for bad quality photo. It was very ugly day, fog and little rain.

Day 5
On Sunday 5th, not so much story to tell about that day. We stay at home during the whole afternoon cleaned up our storage room. Then we went to the supermarket nearby in the end of the day.
I wore Cinnamon Dress, its very airy tiered mini dress based on Burdastyle pattern.
I took a picture on the side of parking near our house.

Day 6
On Monday 6th, I spent the whole morning working on men's shirt for my husband. I'll post on the blog as soon as I've done it.
For MMM'13 day 6, I wore A-Line Dress based on Burdastyle pattern. My husband picked us for lunch and we went to one of the restaurant here in our small city.

That's all my MMM'13 recap for day 1-6, I also posted all my MMM'13 photos on MMM'13 Flickr Set. Or if you are interested to see all the MMM'13 groups photos, check out MMM'13 Groups photos on Flickr.
