Lace Long Sleeve Flowy Blouse

I'm finally back to writing on this blog after being busy for two months, I still sew some small items and mend a few clothes but haven't sewn new clothes.  Until two days before Valentine's arrived, I felt like I had to sew a new blouse to wear to dinner. The blouse had to be in the shade of pink, so I checked my stash and found 2 yards of lace fabric in fuchsia that I don't remember when I bought it. After I had the fabric, I started making the pattern (based on my previous self-drafted blouse pattern) I modified the pattern into a flowy blouse. The pattern was simple, a round neckline, gathered front and back yokes and gathered sleeves with elastic bands. Here is the pattern that I drafted, And after the pattern was done, I cut the fabric as usual. The sewing process was fun and turned out to be easier than I imagined. I sewed the neckline front and back yokes and then attached them to the gathered bodices as shown below. After that, I sewed the shoulder lines togeth

Sewing Plans

Hello everyone,
Today post is about my sewing plans for Magam Challenge and about other things that I want to do in the next couple weeks.

For Magam June plan, I want to make an outfit - a very comfy t-shirt and a skirt.
For the fabrics:
T-shirt, I will use 1.5 yards of knit cotton in white color and for the skirt, I will use 1.5 yards of floral stretch cotton.

For the patterns,
T-shirt, Burda pattern 113/114 from Burda Magazine from June 2008 in Spanish edition. I saw the minimum size is 38, so I have to draw size 36 by myself and I saw that the t-shirt had nice detail in the armholes and sleeves, but I am not sure which one will suit me. So, I will try both styles - with or without gather. I will see later...
 
Skirt, I will use Burdastyle pattern 10/2013 - 123 size 36 - for sure I have to make adjustment on the waist. The skirt has a slight flare and decorative large hip-yoke pockets.

And for other plans, I want to make four summer dresses. I will use my orange floral cotton, grey gingham, dark blue polka dots stretch cotton and green batik. I will post the details of each dress when they are done. I already started work on the orange floral cotton - it's a sleeveless shift dress with square neckline.

Also, I want to make four t-shirt. I will used the fabrics below, all of them are knit cotton. I will post the details of each t-shirt when they are done.

I already made a pajama shorts for my husband with the dark blue fabric and planning to make the second one with the green fabric. I bought two of the fabrics (dark blue and green) 3 yards each, so for sure I still have left over fabric to make t-shirt for myself :)

I think is enough for today post and I hope I manage to make it all :-)
Happy sewing!

  3. You must have quite a library of Burda Style dress - going back some years :). It's good to have sewing plans, I think - that way, there is always something to look forward to making, and also things in mind to make, no being lost wondering what to do.
