Make A Garment A Month - December plan...

Hello lovely readers! I am so sorry for my absence, I am still here sewing some stuff but I haven't had time to update the blog post. So, today I'd love to share a quick update of my December plan for MAGAM challenge . I have chosen my pattern, fabric and nations. It will be a simple but pretty party dress for me to wear on Christmas dinner. For the pattern, I will use Burdastyle Embellished Tunic Dress 11/2013  size 34 with adjustments on the neckline, waist and hips. For the fabric, I will use 2 yards of med weight knit ponte in black color that more than three years stay inside my stash and as I don't have passementerie trim, I will sew some pearls on the front slit and neck edge.   Have a lovely and creative Monday to you all! ļ»æ ļ»æ
