Hi there, Happy Friday 🌸🌸 Today's update is about two new dresses that I made to wear on special outings. 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. And to complete the look, I added a removable bow and pinned it to the neckline.  For the sleeveless midi dress, I used a linen blend fabric a souvenir from my trip to Bangkok and the fabric was enjoyable to sew. 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.

Make A Garment A Month - December plan...

By -
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!

    The pearls will add such a lovely touch to this dress - it will be very S(C)hanel and very elegant. And great to use up some stash too.

    I guess you have been busy with your little boy. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Xmas and blessings for the New Year.
