DIY V-neck Tiered Dress

Hello, I made three dresses to wear on my trip to Bangkok during the Easter holiday and this dress is the first one I made. I will share another two in the next posts.  I started working on this dress two weeks before the trip and I'm glad I managed to finish it on time, as well as my other dresses.  This dress was fun and relaxing to sew because I made one before in a midi length, so this time I shortened the length until my knee and sewed it easily. For the fabric, I used a printed rayon from my stash and white cotton lining leftover from my previous make. For the pattern, I used my self-drafted pattern. At first, I didn't want to add the lining but I had to because the fabric was a bit transparent, the lining fabric wasn't enough and I connected the pieces to make the back skirt. Here is the look of the fabric after cutting and the skirt was pieces of a rectangle: the first tiers - front and back, the last tier on the fold ( I forgot to take the p

Handmade Halloween-Lloyd Garmadon

Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃🎃🎃
I made this costume for dear son to attend a party at his school. So glad that he liked and wore it this morning complete with plastic sword that we bought in the local supermarket last day.




The process of making the costume started with sew the black t-shirt and sweatpants as a base, I used Burdastyle patterns for both Boy's raglan t-shirt 03/2013 size 134 and Boy's sweatpants 10/2013 size 134 with adjustment on the length for both patterns and also omitted the hem band on the sweatpants.
I added the green decorative pieces in both garment based on Lloyd Garmadon character that I found in Google. I cut and sew them directly on the garments. Easy and consumed less time.
All the materials I used for these costume are knit cotton in black and jersey knit in greens.
The t-shirt has raglan sleeve and finished the neckline with sew the ribbing knit fabric in black. The sweatpants have pockets, front fly and finished with elastic inserted in the waist band.

I used a lot of pins on the process and gladly I didn't baste anything, pins and sew 😀
After I am done the garments, dear husband help me to paint all the symbols and let them dry overnight and continue paint the final touch in the next day.

The costume completed with balaclava pattern from Pinterest with adjustment to his size, bandanna in green with hand painted yellow symbol and belt in dark green colour.

And here is the whole look of the front and back views. He looks pretty cool and happy in his costume 💗😀



Thank you for stopping by and see you soon on my #magamsewalong garments.

Love,
