Velvet Ribbon

Hello fellow sewists, showing you the refashioned garment for my entry to "Frumpy to Fabulous" February -  #magamsewalong  challenge. Saddly Sarah Liz is no longer hosting the challenge after some years supporting us to make something we really need. But glad that #magamsewalong will continue and we have three lovely ladies hosting the challenge ( Sue ,  Helene  and  Suzy ) 💗

Hello, I finished my first project for 2019 Make Nine "Farrow Rib Scarf" faster than expected. Free pattern found on Ravelry. But before I write more about the scarf, I'd love to show you my official plans for Make Nine this year. This challenge is very popular in Instagram hosted by  Rochelle New  and I decided to make basic wears and accessories to cover the hole in my winter wardrobe. Also, I want to use yarns and fabrics from my stash but in the end I have to buy the missing yarn for the sweater because I didn't have enough. All my fabrics and yarns choices are posted  here.

Hi fellow sewists, here is my first garment of 2019! A jersey shirt based on  Burdastyle Draped Jersey Shirt 09/2018 . This shirt is my entry to January's  #magamsewalong  with theme "Joy" and also I've chosen my theme of the year "stashbusting". So, this month I chose a bright pink jersey fabric from stash and pink is a happy colour to me 😊

Happy New Year 2019 to all fellow sewists and followers. I've been away for a while, busy with a lot of good things but still sewing and knitting. Hope all of you had a lovely time as much as I did. And today, I decided to share my 2018 Make Nine round up. I didn't complete the nine garments that I was planning but glad I finished six garments and one in progress.

Hi fellow sewists, I mentioned in my  Instagram post  two weeks ago that I finished the boucle jacket but I postponed my blog post because I wanted to make a new high neck top to wear with it as the model wearing in the picture below. Both garments are my entry to  #magamsewalong  October and November "Seasonal Stashbuster" hosted by  Sarah Liz . The boucle and brown colour silk satin lining fabrics were inside stash for ages and I bought the grey knit jersey last year.

I decided to make this wrap shirt last week for my entry to  #burdachallenge2018  on Instagram and so surprised that I did this shirt in three days. I didn't make a muslin or wearable muslin, I was too brave but happy the final result wasn't so bad. It was a little bit loose at the shoulder and the wrap was too low for my liking but I can wear it. I will raise the wrap and make better fitting at the shoulder one day I make this shirt again. Pattern:  Wrap Shirt 07/2018 - 107  I used size 36 for the bust, 38 for the waist and hip. I did full arm adjustment and I'm happy with it. Fabric: I used printed knit jersey, leftover from  my previous dress  that I made in July.

Hello fellow sewists, I made one wearable muslin and three dresses based on  Burdastyle Bow Back Maxi dress 129 - 11/2013  size 36 last month. And I'm glad that I wore the three dresses during my trip to Bangkok in the beginning of this month. They were perfect to wear in hot weather because I used cotton fabrics and the style was little bit loose and cosy 💕
