</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I made this layered dress for a special dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary last week and also for my entry to Magam Details December challenge on Instagram, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/magamdetailsdecember/?hl=en" target="_blank">link here</a> to see more photos of the participants. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My first plan was to make a flare dress from Burdastyle pattern but in the end, I didn't like the look of it on me. I was disappointed but I will re-design the Burda dress later when I have time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Soon after that, I decided to sew another dress and I was a little bit nervous because the time was so close, I had only two days to complete it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I didn't make a muslin as I used to but fortunately, the dress turned out okay and I wore it happily to the dinner. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The dress has a scoop neckline, long sleeve, front layer, and knee-length, inspired by a dress that I saw on the street.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the pattern, I used my self-drafted shift dress pattern and modified the front body to make a layer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I made this oversized blouse last month for my entry to #magamniftynovember challenge on Instagram. I chose to make a nifty (stylish) blouse to wear daily and I was glad that I had all the things needed in my stash. I had 3 yards of linen fabric in pink color and almost matching the color of the buttons, I still had leftover fabric enough to make a sleeveless blouse for summer later.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the pattern, I used Burdastyle oversized blouse 10/2019 size 40. I omitted the back yoke and welt pocket and also, shortened the length by 8 cm.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Another time-consuming consuming was sewing the buttonholes and buttons, I wanted to do it at night but I gave up because I knew I would make a mess.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, I did both in the next morning. I used automatic buttonholes, which sounds easy but I have to measure carefully before sewing it. And then the buttons were sewing by hand.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And here are the pictures on the dress form and on me. I love everything about this blouse, the loose fit, the pockets, and the back pleat 💗 I'm thinking of making one more in heavier fabric as a cover-up. The weather is getting cooler and I think it's a good idea to make it in heavier fabric.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So, I decided to make one last month in a yellow batik fabric <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CydITv1xBBv/?hl=en&img_index=1" target="_blank">detail here on my IG</a> (in case you are interested to see it).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Apparently, one top wasn't enough and I made another in floral cotton fabric last week. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">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. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The floral cotton fabric was from my stash and I still have leftover to make another top. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the pattern, I used my self-drafted basic v-neck top.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is the last garment I made last month, a wrap-style swimsuit made from lycra fabric from my stash. I made two similar swimsuits before and I was happy with the fit. So, I was okay with the process and was sure it would turn out as well as the previous ones. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The process took me two days, just right before our holiday. And I immediately packed it as soon as it finished. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love this wrap swimsuit, the design hides the fatty tummy and is comfortable to wear for swimming. Also, the wrap style adds something special, so girly and stylish.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the pattern, I used my self-draft (TNT: tried and true pattern) and the sewing process was started by cutting the fabric pieces, sewing the elastic on the front lining and continuing to pin the necessary parts.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I prepared the bands for the back ties and the side wrap.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I pinned and sewed the bands (ties) on the right front piece (wrap) and backside. Stitched the front pieces (the main fabric and the lining) right sides together and did the same for the back pieces.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After that, I stitched the shoulders together (the main fabric and the lining) right sides together and then folded the wrong sides together, as shown in the picture below,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And then, I inserted another band for the wrap at the front left side. Sewed both sides right sides together and the last two parts were top-stitching the armholes and bottoms (legs opening) using zig-zag stitches.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I was happy that I made this swimsuit in two days and wore it for swimming during the holidays.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here are more pictures of the swimsuit, front, back and on me 😊</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As I mentioned before, here are two additional dresses that I designed to wear during my holiday. Both dresses were inspired by a previous self-drafted dress I made last year, which featured a ruffle yoke. You can see the original dress on my Instagram, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CkLLbCPv8Xd/?img_index=1" target="_blank">link here</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the printed red dress, I skipped the ruffled yoke and the polka dot dress was the same as my first version. Also, I changed the elastic waistband into a waist tie and I like it more because it's easier to adjust, finished with the knot at the center back.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This red dress was transparent, so I had to wear a slip dress underneath. The dress was comfortable to wear and perfect for the holiday. I wore it from breakfast, as a swimsuit cover and lunch. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the fabric, I used printed cotton gauze that I bought last month in the local shop. It was the last 1.75 yards from the bolt and the shop gave me a better price.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The sewing process was fast because I worked on this pattern before, it started with cutting the fabric pieces and continuing sewing it as usual. The only thing that needed attention was sewing the band to the neckline, I basted it before sewing to make the process easier and neater.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The rest of the process was okay, after I sewed all the pieces and hems, I worked on the waist tie. I love the waist tie better than the elastic waistband because I can adjust it easily. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The polka dot dress was made from a cotton fabric leftover from my previous make. The sewing process was faster than I thought, I did it in one day, maybe because of the excitement before going on holiday that made my sewjo high. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I was happy with the final result, everything about this dress turned out as my plan. The dress was transparent and I wore a slip dress underneath, I made a white slip dress as well but I forgot to take a picture. But, I'm planning to make more slip dresses and I will post them at another time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I made a new dress last week, another simple design and comfortable to wear. I decided to make it the day before our trip to HK and glad that I managed to finish it in one afternoon. Bravo for me 😁 </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The dress has short sleeves and a square neckline which I like so much, the darts on the front, the invisible zipper at the center back, and the dress length just above my knee. A perfect dress for summer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used my self-drafted pattern and linen blend fabric in printed boats I bought in the local shop last year. The two yards of fabric weren't enough to make the full dress, so I tried my best to use it all, and in the end, the backside of the dress was made from two pieces that I sewed together. Nobody will notice it, except when very close.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The progress started with drafting the dress, my flat sketch is far from perfect but I have fun. After that, I modified my basic self-drafted dress pattern into a square neck and omitted the back darts. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have been planning to make a casual jacket since last year and I'm glad I finally made it. I love the final result, easy to wear and comfortable. Spring is finally here and this jacket is perfect to wear. For the pattern, I used Burdastyle jacket 01/2023, my dear SIL gave me the magazine pattern and I was thrilled, so many lovely patterns that I'd love to make. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The original jacket was using wool fabric with the lining but I used double-knit fabric and facings. Also, the jacket has in-seam pockets and is finished with a front zipper. Simple design which I really love.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The sewing progress was easier than I thought, so I will be making the original version with the wool fabric and fully lining later to wear in the winter. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I realized that my last post on this blog was in November, wow! Time flies so fast, I was busy, low sewjo but glad I still managed to sew a few simple garments. I posted them on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/velvetribbon_sews/?hl=en" target="_blank">my Instagram</a> and I will show the collage at the end of this post.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And today, I want to show my recent make, a simple shirt that I wore at Valentine's dinner last Tuesday. Also, this shirt is my entry to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/magamsewalong/?hl=en" target="_blank">#magamsewalong</a> challenge "February Fling" on Instagram hosted by Sue, Suzy and Morag, thank you, ladies. To follow the theme, I just make something to fling on, to get rid of one more fabric in my stash and make something nice to wear for dinner out 😄</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used Burdastyle pattern 12/2019 -101 A size 38 and changed the neckline into a v-neck by lowering the center front 11 cm and creating a new v-line. I moved the front shoulder line to the actual shoulder, omitted the ruffles and inserted elastic on the sleeve hem (the original pattern was with a sleeve slit and band). Here is <a href="https://velvetribbonsew.blogspot.com/2022/10/ruffle-shirt.html?spref=pi" target="_blank">my first version</a> of the original shirt in case you are interested to see it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the fabric, I used a kind of crepe fabric with a little stretch in purple color from my stash. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As shown below, I extended the center front about 1.2 cm and used it for snap buttons later. I created a front-facing and placket together and also back-neck facing as well. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The sewing process was according to the usual manner. I fused the facings with fusible interfacing first and then sewed them together before attaching them to the shirt.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I pinned and basted along the front facings before top-stitch them using a blind stitch from the right side of the shirt.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I inserted the elastic inside the sleeve hem and really love this fast method to create a puff sleeve. And then, pinned the hemline and after that, I just sew/top-stitch from the right side of the shirt from the back neck to the front line 2.5 cm and 2 cm for the hemline.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And hand-sewing the front corners.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The last part was sewing the snap buttons/snap fasteners, I sewed the buttonhole at first but the fabric was slippery and difficult to behave, so I removed the buttonhole and use snaps instead.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I went with pink because I think my friend will have a baby girl and I was right. We are all very happy for her and her husband. Such a happy occasion 💗</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After a few days of thinking and planning, I decided to wear an a-line batik dress with a kebaya over it. I drafted the original style kebaya pattern from Indonesia with front plackets and a long pointy hem but unlucky for me, the style of the original kebaya will not be good with my a-line dress. So, I shortened the length of the kebaya pattern, I marked it 3 cm below my waistline, and made a new line of the hemline.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And for my husband, I made a striped shirt using the Ottobre Design pattern 07/2017 and for the fabric, I was happy to find a nice shade of maroon color with a little hint of dark pink striped cotton blend fabric in the local shop. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">More photos of my husband's shirt are on my IG, the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ClPsEiePmM6/?hl=en" target="_blank">link here</a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I really love this black with a pink floral cotton batik fabric and I'm happy that I can make a dress out of it. The lace fabric was from my stash, 1 meter only and I'm glad it was enough for a cropped jacket. </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The dress pattern is self-drafted, based on my basic a-line dress pattern and I changed the neckline into a diamond style.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">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. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So happy that I had two pairs of very comfy memade boxer shorts now and for sure I will wear them daily at home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">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. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But at least, after over a month and hard work, I finally finished the shirt and will wear it soon when the weather drops.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the pattern, I used Burdastyle 12/2019 - 101 size 38. I shortened the sleeve by 2 cm and shortened the sleeve length and hemline by 1.5 cm. And I also added 0.5 cm in the sides and sleeves for ease.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the fabric, I used rayon blend fabric in deep green from my stash. I bought this last year from the local shop. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I always love to see how nice the look of the fabric pieces is after cutting 😍 I had 11 pieces but in the end, I just need 10 pieces as I skip the right front placket. I decided to use the usual simple placket that both sides are the same.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Also, the original sleeve slit pattern was longer than what I wanted, so I reduced the length.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The progress started with sewing the bodices together, the back side has a double yoke and little gathers at the other piece, it looks nice and adds room to the back.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After that, I sewed the sleeves to the bodice before I work on the collar.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I fused fusible interfacing into the outer collar pieces and sewed them together. Pinned the ruffle piece in the middle between the collar pieces. Basted and stitched together.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And then, pinned and basted again the collar to the neckline right sides together. Sewed carefully.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After that, flip the allowance of another collar piece inside the neckline, pinned, basted, and hand-sewed it as I want a smooth finishing collar.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In the end, the result of the ruffle placement wasn't the same as the original shirt, it moved a little bit away from the center front but I like it, not too formal look 😊</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I started with gathering the ruffles and stitching the upper side of the placket pieces with 1.5 cm seam allowance right sides together, clipping the corner and turning it inside out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And then I flipped both allowances inside and iron them, as shown in the 1st picture.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I pinned and basted the ruffle, and pinned the front placket in it.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After the plackets were done, I worked on the sleeve slit, I measured 12 cm long and 3 cm wide, and fused them with fusible interfacing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I pinned the slit piece and the sleeve's right sides together. Sewed carefully with a space of 0.5 between the slit line. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Cut the middle line. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Turned the slit piece inside, ironed it and top-stitched it 0.5 cm.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I finished another UFO, yay! I started working on this swimsuit in May, I cut the fabrics and stopped. Only in August, I picked up the fabric pieces again and I finished it in a few days. I'm glad I finally made this colour block swimsuit that I had been planning to make for so long, I love the fit and the design because it hides my food belly 😊 Also, this will be a great addition to my handmade wardrobe.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the fabrics, I used lycra in black and green from the local shop. I bought 2 yards each and I still have leftovers enough to make another garment.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I finally finished my UFO from March, I'm so glad. My first plan was to make a blouse but I changed my mind the day I cut the fabric, I saw the border print and I felt terrible if I didn't use it. So, I lengthened the pattern down until my knee. And to make the shirtdress more stylish, I sewed a black slipdress to wear under it. In this case, I skip the buttons and let the dress open. I love the look and I will wear this set more often for sure. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The process of making this dress was lovely and relaxing, I started it in March and then I stopped. Only in July I pick the pieces up again and started sewing them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As shown below, I managed to capture the progress. The only difficult part was sewing the collar, I did a lot of basting before sewing and I used black bias tape to finish the collar. I love the result, it looks neat and clean.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div>I finally finished my floral silk dress that I was starting to make in March. It took me a long time to finish because I was ill and low sewjo after I recovered. I'm glad after four months of waiting, this dress is finished and I'm happy with the result. I hope I will wear it for dinner out when the lockdown ends. </div><div><br /></div><div>Four months ago, I was planning to make a silk dress for my entry to Sew Recreate The Look, a challenge on Instagram hosted by Jen and Sharlene. My plan was to recreate a summer v-neck dress with piping detail by Alexander McQuenn. I made a flat sketch as shown below, but in the end, I omitted the flounce at the hemline because I think the dress will suit me better without it. My fabric choice was printed silk charmeuse and silk satin for the lining, I also used black drapey fabric for the bias tape piping. I posted my inspiration and plan <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cat69qtPkd2/?hl=en" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CbDIIjEvBLk/?hl=en" target="_blank">here</a>.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><br /></div><div>I used a self-drafted pattern for the dress and modified my basic dress sloper into a v-neck high waist dress with a flare skirt and piping detail at the front bodice, waistline and back neckline. </div><div>Before I cut and messed up the beautiful silk charmeuse fabric, I decided to make a wearable muslin using drapey cotton blend fabric and posted it on my IG <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cckd0kfPExO/?hl=en" target="_blank">here</a>. The wearable muslin dress has four pieces skirt pattern ( I followed my inspiration and plan) but it didn't work and it made the skirt bulk. So, I changed the skirt design into a simple two pieces flare skirt and insert the piping on the bodices only.</div><div>Here is the look of my pattern pieces.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><br /></div><div>As usual, working with silk fabric wasn't easy. I basted the fabric before sewing and attached the bias tape piping carefully to the fabric. The progress was a little complicated and time-consuming and actually, it wasn't a good idea to sew when in low sewjo but I'm glad I did and happy with the result.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div><br /></div>I tried the dress as soon as I finished (except to sew the hemline) and the dress was too long for my liking, so I reduced the length by 3 cm for the printed fabric and 6 cm for the lining. After that, I stitched the hemline using a narrow hem-stitching as shown in the picture below.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hello, as promised here is my late update of Me-Made-May challenge for day 25-31. I was busy and didn't have time to update this blog but good thing I'm still sewing and knitting a little a day. The situation in Macau is terrible at the moment because of covid-19, many local cases and we are on lockdown. Hope this pandemic will end soon and we will go back to our normal life. Besides sewing and knitting, I'm baking more during this difficult time, I made a sourdough starter and enjoy baking with it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, here are my outfits for MMMay'22 challenge day 25 -31, I realized that I wore my two sneakers almost all the time because they are comfy and perfect for a busy mom like me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Day 25.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I wore my green cotton Josephine dress, Ottobre design pattern 02/2018.

</div><br />That's all my recap, Me-Made-May 2022 was a great and fun challenge. I found many inspirations for my future makes and realized that I need to replace some of my makes as they are getting too much used. I wrote a note of what I should make to improve my daily wardrobe and also, to clean up and get rid of things that I don't wear anymore. I will try to refashion some of them.</div><div><br /></div><div>My special thank you to Zoe <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sozoblog/?hl=en" target="_blank">@sozoblog</a> for hosting this challenge every year and my DH and DS for taking daily pictures. </div><div><br /></div><div>Until next... </div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://velvetribbonsew.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default</div>@velvetribbon_sewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04952545797711547613noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655516312180486520.post-84364463781788679532022-06-06T10:33:00.002+08:002022-06-06T10:33:20.990+08:00Me Made May 2022 Day 15 - 24 <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hello, I'm participating Me Made May challenge again this year and this is my 10 year of participating. Time really flies too fast. I still remember my first MMMay in 2013 and I posted my daily outfit on Flickr. I found many International sewing friends during the challenge and I'm glad we continue connecting on the blog and on Instagram until today. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Me Made May challenge is hosted by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sozoblog/" target="_blank">Zoe Edwards @sozoblog</a> and is a wardrobe challenge to help us to improve our relationship with our handmade items, more details are on Zoe's blog <a href="http://sozowhatdoyouknow.blogspot.com/2022/03/me-made-may-22.html" target="_blank">link here</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I wear my handmade clothes every day with very little rtw, so I'm not going to find any difficulty with what should I wear. Most of my garments are old makes, they are still in good condition but some are too loose or too tight and I want to fix those that I can. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, here is my pledge for Me Made May 2022, I Hana of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/velvetribbon_sews/" target="_blank">@velvetribbon_sews</a>, pledge to wear me-made clothes and refashioned every day during the whole month of May.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Besides analyzing my everyday wardrobe and noting what I really wear and feel good wearing, I will try to sew or knit a little every day during May in hope that my sewing mojo is back. Also, I'm going to finish the two March garments and do small projects that were on my list for months.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm posting my daily outfit on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/velvetribbon_sews/" target="_blank">my Instagram</a> and also will update this blog with a recap of my seven days' outfits.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hello, I was planning to make a basic outfit (long sleeve t-shirt and denim pants) in February and I managed to finish the long sleeve t-shirt on time. I posted the detail on my IG, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CaZaRUzhNN5/" target="_blank">here is the link</a> in case you are interested to see it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After waiting for almost one and a half months, I finally finished the denim pants. Too bad that the weather is getting hot, so I will wear them in cooler weather. Both the long sleeve t-shirt and denim pants were my entry to "Fit February" <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/magamsewalong/?hl=en" target="_blank">#magamsewalong</a> challenge on Instagram hosted by Sue, Suzy and Sheila. I'm happy I finally finished the outfit that fit my daily life.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is the fabric I used for the denim pants, a medium-weight denim fabric that I bought during my trip to Bangkok in 2018, I bought 3 meters and still have leftover enough to make a skirt. Also, I used green cotton scrap for the pocket bags. The rest of the materials, zipper, snap fastener, fastener and threads were from my stash.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">For the pattern, I used Burdastyle trousers 10/2013 - 127 A. I made some pants before using this pattern size 36, and also modified the pattern into the denim pants. And as I gained a little, this time I used size 38. </div><div style="text-align: left;">I didn't have too much time to sew or trace a new pattern, so I added 1,3 cm in all edges from size 36 and it worked.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The picture below is the look of my pattern after I modified it into jeans-style pants, I cut the back piece into two. And this time I skipped the front fly zipper and changed it into a centered zipper on the backside. Easy method 😊</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm glad and thank God that I'm recovering and slowly back to my normal life, also starting to sew again (so happy). </div><div>I managed to make two tops and scrunchies in January, a long sleeve t-shirt and a hand-knitted cowl in February. I posted all my makes on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/velvetribbon_sews/" target="_blank">my Instagram</a> in case you are interested to see them.</div><div><br /></div><div>I started to sew again yesterday after I took a good rest and I managed to finish the patchwork tote bag that was on my sewing table since the beginning of this month. I used scrap fabrics left-over from my previous makes. I cut them in a rectangle shape and sewed them together.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm glad that I finally finished another project from last month, a silk blouse with a side knot Burdastyle pattern 12/2019 size 38. My plan was to make it for my entry to magamsewalong "December Dreaming" challenge on Instagram but life was so busy and I couldn't make it on time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the fabric, I used my dream fabric from stash, floral silk crepe de chine. I bought it in the local shop a while ago and I really love the print. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div></div></div></div><div>The sewing progress was difficult but I managed to finish it after many errors, basting and pinning (my pattern instruction was in the German language, no time to translate, just sew the blouse with my self-taught). </div><div>Firstly I was working on the front pieces and created them into a side knot. After that, I worked on the left shoulder line, sewed the band for the buttons closure in the back shoulder piece.
