Midi Dress With Puff Sleeves And Front Tie

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.

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.

Cosy Cardigan and V-neck T-shirt

Hello fellow sewists, I made a cardigan and t-shirt for my entry in Instagram sewing challenge  #cosycardichallenge , both garments are based on Simplicity pattern 8059 size xs for the cardigan and xxs for the t-shirt. I was planning to make the cardigan only but decided to make the t-shirt after I finished because I don't have a matching t-shirt to wear with it. Luckily that the pattern came in five different models and one of them is a asymmetrical tunic that was easy to modify to a simple v-neck tee.

Hello everyone, I am back after my last post in 31 August with two new me-made shirt blouses that I made to participate  #magamsewalong  September with theme "Shirty September" hosted by lovely  @sarahlizsewstyle .

So, I will give you a link on my IG in case you want to see the dress  Open Back Butterick Dress .
