DIY V-neck T-shirt Dress

I was checking my summer wardrobe last month and it lacked t-shirt dresses and some summer tops. So, I started to sew this t-shirt dress and will continue following my plans. For the pattern, I used my self-drafted t-shirt pattern and lengthened it above my knee.  And here are the pattern pieces: - Front (on fold) 1x - Back (on fold) 1x - Neckband 57 cm long x 5 cm wide.

DIY Jeans And White Cotton Blouse

Image
Hello everyone, I made a new outfit and these garments are my entry for  #magamsewalong  October and November. My plan for October Original was a self-drafted skirt and white blouse in the picture below, the skirt turned out fine but I'd love to make adjustment next time. So, I will post the skirt detail separately later. For November Needs, I was planning to make jeans and bought two pieces of jeans fabrics in dark blue and black. I decided to sew the blue colour first as wearable muslin but in the end I like the result and I am in the middle of finishing the black one but no time to complete this month, so I will continue next month. Coincidentally the jeans and white blouse are lovely match, so I just wear it together 😁 Patterns: I modified both blouse and pants patterns to my liking  Burdastyle Shirt Blouse 03/2013  size 36  and  Burdastyle Straight Pants 10/2013  size 36.
