DIY V-neck T-shirt Dress

Image
Hi there, I hope you are well. I had a leftover knit cotton fabric in a lovely printed pink and decided to make a simple summer dress with it. 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. The sewing process was easy and fast. I did it in three hours.  It started with sewing the shoulder lines together and the dress sides together using my overlocker machine. And then sewed the V-neckband piece and attached it to the neckline. I sewed around the neckline with a sewing machine first and covered the raw edge using an overlocker machine. And top-stitched the neckline 0.25 cm using a sewing machine. ...

Farrow Rib Scarf - 2019 Make Nine

Hello, I finished my first project for 2019 Make Nine "Farrow Rib Scarf" faster than expected. Free pattern found on Ravelry. But before I write more about the scarf, I'd love to show you my official plans for Make Nine this year.
This challenge is very popular in Instagram hosted by Rochelle New and I decided to make basic wears and accessories to cover the hole in my winter wardrobe. Also, I want to use yarns and fabrics from my stash but in the end I have to buy the missing yarn for the sweater because I didn't have enough.
All my fabrics and yarns choices are posted here.


About the scarf, I was working on a simple scarf for DS using this deep blue new wool + acrylic yarn but I gave up and unravel the yarn because he didn't like it. After I unravelled, I use the yarn and two more balls from stash to make a scarf for me 😁
Pattern detail: Farrow Rib Scarf by Claudia Krisniski - free pattern found in Ravelry.
Yarn: Lana Liza 6 ply yarn, 40% new wool 60% acrylic. I used 3 balls in deep blue shade (120 m / 50 grams each).
The process of knitting this scarf was enjoyable, I liked the stitches very much and they weren't curling.
I started with cast on 43 stitches (multiple of 3+1) on 4.5 mm circular needle.
After I had enough length, I bind-off in rib and decided to add fringe. I followed tutorial from Very Pink Knits, I like the final result and the process of adding the fringe wasn't difficult.
And here is the whole look of my new scarf, size approximately 148 cm long x 15 cm wide, it's long enough to wrap around my neck to keep me warm in cooler weather.
As the weather is getting hot here in my place, I decided to show you the scarf on Ellie my dress-form. The white tee is me-made, pattern I used from Sew Your Own Active Wear book by Melissa Fehr. I made some and will write a blog post about them later.

That's it for now, happy knitting/sewing lovelies 💕
