Velvet Ribbon

Hello.. I made this sweatshirt especially to participate in  Share In Style . But I am late again.. :( I supposed to publish it on Monday but I was so busy. Share In Style theme for 16th March was "yellow" and I immediately think about my yellow knit fabric inside my stash that waiting for me to sew. After looking for the right garment and pattern, I decided to make a basic wear which I need more to fill my wardrobe. And for the pattern, I decided to use BurdaStyle but I skip the color block because I couldn't find the right fabric combination. Pattern : BurdaStyle Boatneck Sweatshirt 09/2014#114a   size 34. I have to grade down the pattern to size 34 because the minimum size of original pattern is 36. With the size of sleeve bands 17 cm length x 12  cm width - the final result 6 cm width of sleeve bands. And hem band 90 cm long x 12 cm width - the final result 6 cm width of hem band.  source from BurdaStyle Materials: 2 yar...

Hello.. Here is my finished top for  MAGAM February. Based on Moda Diana no. 75 -3P size 34/36 with adjustment. You can see the detail of my work on the pattern grading and adjustment on my previous post . This top is my second version of pattern no. 75 - 3P and I already cut another fabric for the third version. I love this pattern and this is one of my favorite top and I am planning to make more in the future, summer will be arriving soon and I need some short sleeve tops :) The sewing process of this top is quite fun. Firstly I need to removed the shoulder darts (remember that my first version was too big at the shoulder and I have to add darts to make it right). Then I transfer all the pattern pieces on new sheet of papers. After that I cut fabric plus matching the striped, pin and sew the top. The two tricky parts to sew this top was matching the striped and sew the neckline. My work on matching the striped was not so good...

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my last post :) And also a warm welcome to my three new followers on Bloglovin'. I finally finished my basic sleeveless top :) I cut the fabric many weeks ago but only yesterday I managed to finish it. This top is my second version of boatneck top based on Built by Wendy book - the shift dress pattern. You can see my first top here, hi-low top. This time I didn't want a hi-low style, so I just follow the original pattern. For the fabric, I used the leftover polka dots silk satin from the lining of my double breasted cape. I think the fabric is not the best to wear in the hot summer day but the polka dots print makes me want to sew it so badly :) I think is fine to wear it at home but not for outside. Pattern modifications: I used Built by Wendy Shift dress pattern size S, followed the instructions of making a boatneck style on project 4, as shown on the picture below - dress in color block in front ...
