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. And then, I pinned the neckline before top-stitching it. I decided

Hello!
I arrived home on Friday and have been busy with a lot of stuff and taking care my little boy. He is recovering from cough and flu, poor baby:(

For sure, I will be back to sewing and blogging after my boy recovered. And here are three batiks that I brought from my holidays in Bali-Indonesia. The first one is silk batik in printed shiny purple that my mom gave me as souvenir, the second one is batik sarong in printed green color and the third one is batik keris in printed white and brown color. Both of the second and third batik I bought in Matahari Plaza-Kuta, Bali. The three batiks are going to pre-washing, ironing and stay inside my stash box waiting for the right pattern:)

    I do hope your little boy gets better soon. I guess you are also busy tidying up after your vacation. The fabrics are very pretty - good idea to save them for the right garment :)
