DIY Batik Dress And Ruffle Hem Gingham Dress

Image
Hi there, today I'm making a test to share my Youtube video on this blog. It's about the making of my two dresses that I wore during the Easter holiday and a bit of our life during that week. 🔹️ The green batik dress. Fabric: I used an Indonesian batik from my stash. Pattern: self-drafted and I made a few dresses using this pattern before. This dress has sleeveless, no zipper, a loose and knee length.  🔹️ Ruffle hem gingham dress. Fabric: I used gingham cotton fabric from my stash. Pattern: self-drafted. This dress has v-neckline (front and back), no zipper, ruffle hem and a little bow at the front neckline. Both dresses are easy to make and comfy to wear. Perfecf for summer 😍 Thank you for stopping by and happy weekend 🌺❤

Ruffle Sleeve Blouse

Ruffle sleeve is on trend now, so I decided to make this blouse for myself and I love it. For the pattern, I modified the dress pattern H from Casual Sweet Clothes  by Noriko Sasahara and for the fabric, I used the leftover Korean cotton from previous garment.  The original dress pattern has v-neckline and finished the sleeve with two pieces of ruffles, you can see my dress version  here . And as I want a round neckline blouse and a little bit fuller ruffle sleeve, I have to change the pattern pieces, 

Sew Merry May, Tunic Dress

Hello, I finished MAGAM sew along  May dress with theme "Sew Merry May" in the middle of the month and so glad that I recovered the dress and it turned out so good. You can see how happy I was, wearing me-made dress for mmmay day 17. The print truly made me happy and the black piping match perfectly with yellow 😊

Refashioned T-shirt

Hello,  I refashioned my dear stepson brand new t-shirt that didn't fit him to my active wear 😀 Actually the t-shirt fit me as it is but I didn't like the style. It looks too manly for my preference and I like more loose style t-shirt, so I decided to add colour block in both sides.  I used left over black knit cotton from stash and I think black and grey are matching nicely.

V-neck Shift Dress with Ruffled Cuffs

Hello, Time flies so fast and can not believe that we are in May. I am participating Me-Made-May 2017 and this is my fifth year. And especially for day 1, I am wearing my brand new shift dress that I made last month for MAGAM  April with the theme "Sew Anything". Picture below taken this morning in the Garden of Flower City, I like to visit this garden from time to time to enjoy some flowers and fishes. Sorry for the wrinkle at the front dress, cotton fabric is so easy to wrinkle, especially after sitting a while inside the car. Anyway, nobody cares 😁
