Floral Dress

Time flies really fast when you’re having lots of fun J. It’s very close to mid year and I haven’t updated my blog even once this year. Oops. Things have been very busy, busier than normal. My sewing practice is still ongoing and the usual knitting and crochet still happening as well.
All craft activities were put on hold for about 2 months earlier this year due to my pregnancy sickness. For some reason I can stand the view of needles of any sort, knitting, sewing, crochet, whatever types of needles.

But, I’m back now. And I’ve been busy sewing and knitting to reach project deadlines.
I made this dress for my beautiful cousin, the dress is vintage looking and really fun to sew, especially the neckline. Added that one thing in my repertoire of sewing and I can guarantee it will be used in many projects to come.

The skirt is full and fluffy. It’s really cute and this is the first time I made this type of skirt as well.



The balloon sleeves are new to me as well. This is probably the second or third time I sew sleeves and I got better at it this time. I would say it’s probably because I took great care when cutting the fabric and I baste the 2 pieces together before machine stitching.

Overall, I’ve gained great experience in sewing this dress and I can’t wait to make another one.

Blue Cheongsam Top and Black Sateen Skirt

So by this time, I was already addicted to sewing and I started experimenting with different types of garment and fabric.
I bought this oriental fabric from Spotlight and a matching black sateen fabric for the skirt.





Now, I need to find frog closure to complete this project.
I haven’t been lucky in my search :-(
If anyone know an awesome shop that sells frog closure, please let me know.
I’m trying not to buy on eBay from overseas seller, if I can. I might have to resort to that though.


(Completed 11th Oct)
