Hi there, Merry Christmas to all who celebrated it and Happy New Year 💖 May the new year bring you peace, joy and prosperity 💖 We had a different Christmas this year, we flew to Bangkok. Enjoyed a special Christmas eve dinner, strolled around the city, relaxed, enjoyed the warm weather and delicious food. And of course I made a new dress to wear on the dinner using a red drapey wool crepe fabric I bought months ago. I was planning to make a midi length dress but in the end I cut it above my knee because it didn't look good on me. The dress details: a v-neckline with tie front, long sleeves with elastic hems, above the knee length and I made it loose to allow me to move freely and to enjoy the delicious food 😊 I found this fabric months ago in the local shop, I wasn't looking for fabric but somehow it catches my attention and brought it home. It was good decision to buy because I need it to make a Christmassy dress.  For the pattern, I used my self-drafted...

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,  link here  to see more photos of the participants.  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. 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.  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.  The dress has a scoop neckline, long sleeve, front layer, and knee-length, inspired by a dress that I saw on the street. For the pattern, I used my self-drafted shift dress pattern and modified the front body to make a layer. I used a kind of crepe fabric in teal color with a ...

Happy New Year 2022 everyone, I wish you a safe, healthy, and prosperous new year 💖 On my sewing table at the moment is a Burdastyle blouse with a side knot, I cut the blouse fabric and started sewing on December 17 but I couldn't finish it until today due to the holiday season. So, instead of waiting for the finished blouse to update this blog, I decided to publish the v-neck lace dress that I made at the beginning of December. I posted this lace dress on  my Instagram  last month, the reason why I sew this v-neck dress was to wear it at our 10th wedding anniversary dinner. I finished the dress on time but somehow I think it was missing something in this dress, I tried to add a bow at the waistline and silk overlay at the shoulder but I still didn't like the dress. In the end, I keep this dress for future wear and went to the mall to buy a dress for the anniversary dinner 😁 Well, I love this v-neck dress, simple and the fit was good. The dress has 3/4 sleeves le...
