Lucy Batik Dress

I really really like this dress pattern. It’s sleek, feminine, and a bit regal in a certain way.

Luckily my last 2 Batik fabrics are great for this pattern.

The neckline on this dress is new to me. Again, I love it. It’s great attempting new things while learning. It gives you confidence and the skill that you gained out of it is just priceless. You’ll see some more of this neckline in my future projects, you can be sure of that. J

Agnietta Batik Dress

This dress has very simple cut and vintage look. It’s just perfect for the pattern of this Batik fabric.

It’s cute and fun, and it has those two adorable little front pockets to complete the look.

Fifi Top

Another pattern that I like very much, it’s simple but has a bit of detail with the pocket and the little sleeves flaps.

I like this top so much that I completed 2 of them in different sizes and colours.

Alison Weekend Jacket

I knitted this jacket because I fell in love with the pattern. It’s so feminine in a casual relaxing way. The bottom front parts are longer than the back and sides so they will flow elegantly when the wind blows.

It’s a great piece and I enjoyed knitting it very much.

Little Jessie Rompers

This is my first attempt on sewing baby clothing. As I have expected, I encountered a bit of difficulty in controlling the fabric during sewing process. I think it has something to do with the size of the pieces and also the shape.

There are lots of curves on them, which I struggled with at the beginning. But after sewing 2-3 pieces, I got used to it and may eye, hand, and foot coordination got better. J I’m so happy and to think I almost gave up.

There is another challenge in this project, buttonholes.

I bought the brother buttonhole foot attachment, it’s working, but for some reason it doesn’t fit 100% and I had to keep adjusting the foot so it will touch the buttonhole gauge on the machine.

Again, after probably a dozen failed attempts (on scrape fabric of course J), I finally got the hang of it.

These cute little rompers are available in my Madeit store.

Red Cheongsam

I made a blue cheongsam top late last year. When I bought that fabric, I also bought this beautiful red silk fabric to be made into this red cheongsam or qipao dress from my lovely cousin who’s getting married very soon.

The fabric is a bit more challenging to work with because it’s very slippery and it frays a lot. In the end I have to use anti fray liquid to stop it from further fraying.

The pattern is just gorgeous and I had to alter it to make it into a tight fitting dress. Original pattern was more casual in look and recommended fabric was cotton.
