The first skirt in the March challenge. I revisited my simplicity 2451. I didn't make much modification to this version, but I added 2 " to the sides and center back pattern and removed 1" from the waist. I cut size 16 in the earlier version which maked it snuggle on the hip until I reduced the seam [...]
Yes another shirt for the office, I am really rocking this pattern lol. This time I made view D in a light weight broadcloth. I have one more to go , but not sure if I will make the last one with this pattern...... who knows.....I bought this fabric because of the colour which I really love [...]
As per my earlier post, I am now working on my March challenge. I am planning on making about 10 garments this month... So here is the first, I used my wearable muslin to make this shirt in another beautiful checks fabric. Needs real pressing Close-up Arm-hole finishingRemember I said I didn't make any alteration on the [...]
I can't believe tomorrow is the last day of this month.............. I thank God for everything........ Not so much sewing was done this month as I have envisaged this is partly due to my sewing mojo and some other kids activities, I am hoping to be back in full force hopefully next month. For the month [...]
This is one of Newlook patterns that's been in my stash for some time. I usually try a simple pattern like this to jump start my sewing mojo, like I said in my last post, I have been having a little set back in my sewing since the death of my boiler iron, so to [...]
Oooooooooh one of my most valuable gizmos died on me recently and sewing has never been the same. I got this boiler iron Shark Euro-pro exactly 2 years ago for $39.99 on ebay and it has taken my sewing into a different level to the extent that I do more pressing than sewing, I just [...]
Thank you all for all your wonderful comments on my last post. That dress really made me look 10 years older and it's a goner, goner goner............lol. I nearly lost my mojo after making it, but fortunately got it back from my TNT pattern.....................Talking about the right dress... I love my Newlook 6429. This is my [...]
I didn't have any good time with this pattern at all. It was drafted way too big. I had to take about 4" from the sides and 6 " from the length, I finished it since Monday but it was just on the form. I love my fabric though. I am not sure if I [...]
One of McCall’s newest patterns (M6035) I guess..... It' s so easy and fits right out of the envelop....Yes no alteration at all, I lengthened it by just 1" because I wasn't sure of the length but, I actually I don't need the extra length. It has different cup sizes so I made a C cup [...]
