Velvet Ribbon

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  my Instagram  and I will show the collage at the end of this post. 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  #magamsewalong  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 😄 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...

Happy New Year 2017 everyone. May your new year be blessed with peace, love and joy. I finally managed to take pictures of my November blouses, the first blouse is a wearable muslin in pale pink colour cotton and the real blouse is yellow lightweight jersey knit as shown in the picture below. My first plan was to make the real blouse with knit tulle dot fabric in salmon colour but it was ruined because I accidentally cut the sleeve while trimming the excess fabric at the seam allowance. The same day when my overlocker machine broke. Uh oh, that must be the only day that I had two consecutive bad luck. Anyway, I put the knit tulle fabric plus the leftover inside plastic bag and will be making another garment later. And gladly that the overlocker machine fixed after three days stayed in the shop for repair.
