Green Floral Dress

By
Hello, I made a simple dress to wear daily. I used floral green rayon fabric leftover from my previous dress. 
The pattern was self-drafted based on my basic blocks.
Dress details: a very loose dress, short sleeves, v-neckline with pleat, no zipper but I sewed back slit opening finished with button and I made a waist tie from the same fabric.

The process was fast, I did this dress in five hours. The neckline was finished with neck facing and top-stitched by hand. 
I added pleat in the center front, folded the fabric and sewed it down until my waistline.
I sewed belt loops and waist tie (belt) from the same fabric, I attached the belt loops 2 cm above my waistline.
I sewed the sleeve hems and hemline with blind hem using the sewing machine. And the rest of the process was the same as the usual manner. So I don't need to explain more 😊

The tote bag was me-made too, I used leftover home decor fabric and scraps fabrics for the patchwork 😊

That's it for today, stay safe and well ❤
Happy sewing!

Pretty colors and pretty design print of the fabric. The dress design lets us see the floral design nicely. I enjoy seeing your pretty sewing, and always look forward to your next creation.

Striped Shirt

I was planning to make this shirt since the day I bought the fabric last year and I'm glad that I finally made it. This shirt is my entry to Sew Your Wardrobe Basics, a challenge that I participated in Instagram hosted by Stefanie @seaofteal The February theme was "stripes" and it was a great opportunity to use my stripes fabric and sew the shirt that I planned for so long.
I posted the original plan on my Instagram but I changed my mind and skip the embroidery as I don't have enough time at the moment. Maybe, I'll be doing the embroidery later.

DIY Hair Tie

Hi all,
Today post is about hair accessories! I made these hair ties from the leftover fabrics that already sitting inside my stash for so long, I think some of them already there for almost 3 years. I took them out, washed and iron it.
This is very easy, fast and fun small project to make and I'd love to share the step by step tutorials with all of you. I hope you like it:)

Prepare the fabric, light weight cotton or silk. Cut rectangular shape, 30" x 6" (1/2" seam allowances included). Serge all the edges of the fabric using an overlock sewing machine. And cut elastic 7".
With right side together, fold the fabric and pin it. Then stitch the fabric 1/2" seam allowance with the sewing machine.

Turn it inside out. Insert the safety pin into the elastic and pin it on the edge of the fabric as shown in the pictures.
Insert another safety pin in the end of the elastic, and insert the elastic by pulling the safety pin inside the fabric.
Knot the elastic together.…

Yesterday was the day 27 of Me-Made-May challenge on Instagram and I took the opportunity to wear my new dress. We went for lunch at the local restaurant for the first time in the past three months. What a joy! My son also back to school on Monday and I hope that things will be better in the future. 

Sewing and baking were two things that entertained me a lot. I managed to make my basic pattern blocks and baked delicious breads. Besides, the quality time with husband and son during this time, it brought us even closer 💗

Well, let's talk about the dress 😊
I finished five days ago and glad it turned out as my plan. The dress has a round neckline, short sleeves, four darts at the front, two darts at the back, invisible zipper at CB and ruffle hem. The neckline finished with facings, I used 1.5 cm seam allowances, 2.5 cm sleeve allowance and 1 cm hem allowance.

The pattern was self-drafted based on my basic pattern blocks, I followed the book "Basic Pattern Making" by Lu…
