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

Stuffed Elephant Toys And I Won A Giveaway

By -
Hello everyone,
Look what I've made! Two very cute stuffed elephant toys for my DS :-) 
 
 
Pattern     : free elephant toy pattern from stitchcraftcreate.co.uk
Materials : I used two fabric scraps from stash - both of them are printed cotton, fusible interfacing for the ears, polyester stuffing, buttons for the eyes and threads.
The sewing process is very fast and enjoyable, I did two of them in two hours. The only tricky part is hand sewn the elephant body but the rest is so easy.
Here is a picture of my sewing in progress,
a. My fabrics after cutting
b. Sew  all the edges according to the instructions
c. Turn it inside out
d. Stuffed with polyester stuffing and ready for hand sewing the opening area, done!

More pictures of the final project,
