Simple And Classy Dress With Removable Bow

Image
Hi there. Today's post is about a simple and classy dress with a removable bow. I made this dress last week for the annual dinner at my husband's work.  I remembered I had two yards of cotton blend fabric with elastane in my stash, so I didn't need to buy new fabric.  For the design, I chose a simple dress with a little bit of something like a bow or a flower. And in the end, I chose a silk bow. For the pattern, I used my self-drafted dress with long sleeves. At first, I was making a midi length but cut it below my knee. The sewing process was fast because of the simple design, I did it in two days.  The process started in a usual manner, I sewed the darts, sewed the invisible zipper, sewed the front and back dress together, attached the sleeves, etc. I tried on the dress and found out the neckline was a bit gaping and the dress was too loose and too long. So, I reduced the shoulder line by 1 cm on both sides before attaching the facing...

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 💗😀
