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.

Make A Garment A Month - February Plan..

By -
Happy Monday to you all!
My February plan for MAGAM Challenge will be a very simple yet elegant everyday blouse based on Burdastyle pattern 08/2012 - Printed Blouse 109. For the fabric, I will use my pink viscose that I bought last month. The thread and the buttons are from my stash.

I traced the pattern yesterday and I found that this pattern has funny bust darts. The bust darts are starting from the waistline - you can see the picture above. But according to the pattern description,  this blouse is flattering on any body type because of the shaping bust darts :) 
So, I am curious and can not wait to see how the blouse will turn out.
 
Happy sewing!
