Gathered Waist V-neck Dress

Hi there, as promised, here is the second dress I made to wear on my recent travels. It is a gathered-waist v-neck dress with puff sleeves. It is comfy but stylish and also perfect for hot weather. I wore this dress the whole day, exploring the city. The rayon fabric was perfect, airy, and didn't make me sweat. I bought the printed rayon fabric from the local shop and it had been inside my stash for years. So, I was glad I finally made it into a dress. And I used my self-drafted pattern, I made a few dresses based on the same pattern. But this time, I added puff sleeves.  The pattern had seven pieces ( front on fold x1, front lining on fold x1, back x2, back lining x2, sleeves x2, front skirt on fold x1, and back skirt x2). The sewing process started with sewing the darts, sewing the front and back pieces together at the shoulder, both sides and the linings. After that, I pinned and sewed the bodice and lining together.

Crochet Pumpkins

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!
