DIY Sleeveless Shirt Dress

Hi there, I finished my sleeveless shirt dress, and I'm happy with the final result. The dress is comfy and perfect for summer. I will definitely wear it a lot.  This summer, I'm focusing on building my capsule wardrobe, and I'm glad I managed to create three garments (a skirt, top, and sleeveless dress).  I will continue sewing more garments to complete my plan. My progress will be slow, but I'm sure I will complete it before the end of the summer 😊 For the pattern, I used Faitmain shirt dress May 2019 size 38 and I used this pattern before to make two long-sleeved shirts. And this time, I omitted the sleeves and reduced the shoulder length by 2 cm. I used cotton fabric in blue and white gingham and I planned to add a pocket, but in the end, I gave up because it didn't look good. The sewing progress was slow as I have a lot of things to do. The only difficult part was sewing the collar.  And in case you are interested in seeing ...

DIY Women's Boxer Shorts

I made two boxer shorts to replace the old ones that aren't in condition to wear. I decided to sew them yesterday as soon as I have free time and I'm glad the first boxer shorts in brown printed jersey knit are done in three hours. And then, I continue to sew another one this morning.  So happy that I had two pairs of very comfy memade boxer shorts now and for sure I will wear them daily at home.  For the fabric, I used a brown printed jersey knit that I bought last month and a white printed floral knit cotton from my stash. I still have leftovers of both fabrics to make other garments. Maybe boxer shorts for my husband, I will see.    I had a self-drafted boxer shorts pattern before, but I couldn't find it. So, I decided to draft another but this time I used my self-drafted pants as a base.  I laid both pants pattern pieces and added 6 cm space between them.  Added 2 cm at the upper line at the waistline. Lengthened both crotches fr...

Ruffle Shirt

I was planning to make this shirt last month for my entry to magamsewalong "Shirty September" challenge on Instagram but couldn't finish it on time. I thought this shirt was easy to sew but I was wrong. The sewing progress was taking longer to complete because I have to baste some parts before I sew them, such as the collar, the ruffles, and the plackets. Even so, I managed to make mistake on the collar and the ruffle, I sew them upside down and I have to remove them and start the progress again. It was a pain 😖 Also, I changed the plackets design into the usual one and I used a simple way to sew the sleeve slit and cuff. My problem was the pattern instruction wasn't in English and I didn't have time to translate, so I just used my self-taught.   But at least, after over a month and hard work, I finally finished the shirt and will wear it soon when the weather drops. For the pattern, I used Burdastyle 12/2019 - 101 size 38. I shortened the...
