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

Crochet Pumpkins

By -
Hello,
I made five pumpkins for Autumn and Halloween decoration. All of them were in different sizes and I really love the way they turned out :)

Materials:
Orange, yellow and brown wool yarns from stash, G-hook 4 mm, tapestry needle ( I used normal needle because I don't remember where I put mine) and polyester filling

Pattern:
I found this the pattern from Petals and Picot, Little Pumpkin Crochet Pattern. I made the first pumpkin exactly like the original pattern, then the other four were a little bit bigger in different sizes.

Process:
The first thing I did was the magic ring followed by every rounds as instruction said. Except when I made it bigger I just added more round in between.
I cut the yarn 60" longer for the tail and much longer for the bigger pumpkin.
I stuffed the pumpkin with polyester stuffing and did the last round. Fasten the hole with needle.
Then created the pumpkin shape using the needle by pull the tail in the center of pumpkin.

After the pumpkin done, I did the steam with brown yarn, longer and bigger than the original pattern. Also decrease the stitch (sc2tog).
Sew the steam onto the pumpkin using the needle. Done!

And here are the results :)


Also, I shared this post to Show Off Saturday

Have a lovely weekend to everyone!
