Sack dress

Actually these dress is only another (longer) version of the previous blouse. The fabric I've got on sale in Chinatown for $4/yard. I loved the fabric, it's pure cotton, soft and the color is also pretty. The kids wore it to a friend's farewell party this afternoon and they looked comfortable playing and running around in it :-)

old t-shirt, new look!

Here's daughter's request to get her old t-shirt a makeover.

I only need to add some leftover fabrics from my previous projects and add lace to finish the new look :-)

Boho blouse

I got the pattern from my friend in 3 sizes: small, medium (for kids) and LARGE (for my self) heheh .. I like these kind of blouses, roomy and comfy both for kids and adults and I'm thinking to make the blouse for the three of us.

First project from the book

I tried the first project in the book "Making Children Clothes" by Emma Hardy and thought that this project was not too difficult to follow with the clear step by step instruction and illustration. This blouse is size 2/3 years, fit perfectly for my little one .. when it's finished her big sis wanted me to make one for her too .. gosh, that's what happen if you have two little girls at home .. :-)

I started the project around 5 PM and finished the blouse just in time to go out for a Friday night family diner. Now it's past midnight and I need to have some rest .. have a wonderful weekend, all!

The second blouse I made on Monday afternoon, just after the kids back from school and the internet went down, so I worked on the other workstation just in front of my laptop .. yep, the sewing machine!! .. and finished the bigger version for my bigger daughter :-)

Tshirt dress

I saw my friend made a t-shirt dress for her daughter and wanted to try to make one for my daughter. The t-shirt only cost me S$ 1 (or we can also use an old t-shirt) and the fabric I had since 2 years ago. The design is simple, but need to be careful when putting together the 2 pieces and then got to be extra careful when sewing the ribbon around the waist for a neat result.

I've made this dress during lunch time, while waiting for a meal that I bake in the oven. My daughter likes it and she said she'll wear the dress to her friend's birthday party on Saturday afternoon.

Batik skirts

Next month we'll attend my cousin's wedding in Jogjakarta, so I'm thinking to make Batik skirts for my girls. The Batik fabric has a classic motif, Parang Rusak, I got it 2m length and 1.20m width for around S$ 10, meaning S$ 5 a meter.

I made these skirts almost the same as I've made before, only now I use waist band with white fabric and chose light brown lace. I'm thinking to make the matching Kebaya as well, I think I still got the time to do it, but if not, maybe I could use any white shirt and put some matching flowers like in the picture and finish the look with a bow around their waist with a matching chiffon or organza. I'll let you know what I'll do later ... ;-D

They're arrived!

These are the books that I've ordered from Amazon.uk last time see older post, I'm happy that they come faster than estimated delivery which is still a week more. Now I can get busy!! .. I'm so excited to try all the cute projects inside! ..

I think I might stay indoor more these days ;-D
