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
What cute outfits. I learnt to sew by making clothes for my Barbie doll, so I am a little partial to admiring other people's hand made Barbie clothes. She probably needed a new wardrobe if you found her in a market - she will be pleased :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah Liz. I did that too, but I hand sewn my Barbie doll clothes when I was little :)
DeleteClever girl. I made a wardrobe for my grand-daughter's Barbie a few years ago, but I used a Vogue craft pattern for vintage 50's designs. Yes those teeny tiny seams are very tricky. The photos are on the Barbie Wardrobe page of my blog. Your self-drafted clothes are lovely, I may borrow your designs for my own Barbie who could do with a change of clothes. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathy. You can use my design anytime you want :)
DeleteI didn't know that you sewn Barbie wardrobe, I will pop over to see them.
What beautiful clothes for your Barbie. I love making doll clothes ..so fun.. You did an excellent job , drafting these clothes.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Judy. It is really fun to make doll clothes :)
Deletemy life these are just too adorable- I just don't have the patience to do such fiddly items much to my daughters disappointment
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda :)
DeleteThanks for sharing your pattern designs and measurements. My granddaughter's doll is here and this is something I just might try.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Dorothy. Hope my measurements and pattern designs will help :)
DeleteThese are so cute Hana. And I am sure Barbie is very happy with her new outfits! x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dawn. I think she is happy now and soon I will dye her hair for better color :)
DeleteYour Barbie looks beautiful in her new clothes! I still have the Barbie clothes my grandmother made for my Barbie. Sometimes she would make matching dresses for me and my Barbie too. Great job on your drafting. Either of those outfits would be a beautiful garment for an adult to wear!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lisa. I agree, especially the green dress will be great for adult wear. I was thinking to sew for myself one day :)
DeleteThat's a really sweet story about your grandmother.. <3
