Simple Everyday Blouse

Hi there, I'm happy I finally finished this orange blouse I started in February. The blouse has a round neckline, long sleeves finished with elastic and for the button-down style, I used hook and eye closures instead of buttons. I hope the closures will not come out while wearing. And for my safety, I will wear an undershirt šŸ˜Š  For the pattern, I used Burdastyle 12/2019 size 38. The original blouse has ruffles at the plackets and neckline. I omitted the ruffles and drafted the neckline facings.  But in the end, I had a little problem, the back side with the gathers was too bulky because of the thick fabric, so I had to remove the gathers and make the back flat.  Here is my fabric (medium weight crepe blend in orange) after cutting, I sewed the darts, fused the plackets with fusible interfacing and folded them.

Handmade Halloween-Lloyd Garmadon

Happy Halloween everyone! šŸŽƒšŸŽƒšŸŽƒ
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 šŸ˜€
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 šŸ’—šŸ˜€
