Velvet Ribbon

Me Made May 2017 has come to an end 😢 It was a great International sewing month and glad that I managed to participate again for the fifth year. Nothing changed from the previous years, my outfits were dresses with very little separates garments in between. Before I write more about the outfits that I wore, I want to say thank you to  Zoe  for organising this great challenge, my dear Husband who very patiently took pictures and all sewing friends in Instagram  and  Facebook Page  for the comments and likes during the whole month of May.

Ruffle sleeve is on trend now, so I decided to make this blouse for myself and I love it. For the pattern, I modified the dress pattern H from Casual Sweet Clothes  by Noriko Sasahara and for the fabric, I used the leftover Korean cotton from previous garment.  The original dress pattern has v-neckline and finished the sleeve with two pieces of ruffles, you can see my dress version  here . And as I want a round neckline blouse and a little bit fuller ruffle sleeve, I have to change the pattern pieces, 

Hello,  I refashioned my dear stepson brand new t-shirt that didn't fit him to my active wear 😀 Actually the t-shirt fit me as it is but I didn't like the style. It looks too manly for my preference and I like more loose style t-shirt, so I decided to add colour block in both sides.  I used left over black knit cotton from stash and I think black and grey are matching nicely.

Hello, Time flies so fast and can not believe that we are in May. I am participating Me-Made-May 2017 and this is my fifth year. And especially for day 1, I am wearing my brand new shift dress that I made last month for MAGAM  April with the theme "Sew Anything". Picture below taken this morning in the Garden of Flower City, I like to visit this garden from time to time to enjoy some flowers and fishes. Sorry for the wrinkle at the front dress, cotton fabric is so easy to wrinkle, especially after sitting a while inside the car. Anyway, nobody cares 😁
