Hi there, today's post is about a new dress I sewed last month. It's a midi-style dress with puff sleeves and a front tie. I made this dress to wear to a special dinner. For the pattern: I lengthened my selfdrafted v-neck dress into midi length. And for the fabric, I used a linen blend in green color. I bought the fabric in Bangkok during my summer holiday in August. The dress pattern had 6 pieces, front and back darts and I fused the facings with fusible interfacing. As usual, the sewing process was relaxing and it finished faster than I planned. The picture below shows the process of sewing the zipper, I pinned it before sewing it using the zipper foot. To make the puff sleeves, I gathered the sleeves before pinning and sewing them to the armhole.  After attaching the sleeves, I sewed the sleeve allowance 1 cm and the hem allowance 1.5 cm. And then, I pinned the neckline before top-stitching it. I decided

V-neck Cotton Top

By -
Hello dear readers,
I was checking my wardrobe and found out it lacked a simple top to wear daily. So, I decided to make one last month in a yellow batik fabric detail here on my IG (in case you are interested to see it).
Apparently, one top wasn't enough and I made another in floral cotton fabric last week. 
I wore the floral top yesterday for Sunday out with my family, I paired it with me-made denim pants. I love the top, comfortable and easy to wear. 

The floral cotton fabric was from my stash and I still have leftover to make another top.   

For the pattern, I used my self-drafted basic v-neck top. It has a side front dart, short sleeve and finished neckline with a neck facing with a back button closure. 

After I cut the fabric, I sewed the top according to the usual manner and it was easy and fast. I did the top in less than three hours.

Here are the results, front, side and back views.





That's it for today, thank you for stopping by ❤
Happy sewing!

    I do so enjoy seeing your garments , and wanted to ask if you learnt your pattern cutting skills from a particular book or did you attend a course? It makes so much sense to make/design one's own patterns - they are so expensive these days!

      Thank you, Judy. I learnt pattern drafting from a book and also from Youtube which I think is the best because of the step by step with videos.
