murah tapi cantik

Last weekend was stay-in-a-house-day. i didn't plan to go anywhere as I have commisioned dresses to sew. But I was distracted by remnant fabrics I hoard all these years. One was the batik-like-el-cheapo fabric that I got for RM2.50/m. Eventho it was a cheap fabric, I like the batik motif, looks like Malaysian Airlines stewardess :)

I made a pair of night pants out of it, many moons ago , even the colour had faded. I still have aplenty of the fabric that I decided to make pants for Safiya. And being me, masih sayang to throw out all the scraps, I intended to make a matching top for her. Kali ni tak berapa cukup kain, I needed to selang selikan dengan kain yang lain.

I created panels, so the fabric will be enough for a top.

panels for front and back of the top(body)

i'm using what my stash offered, that includes unmatching zipper and commercial gingham bias tape

Finally,

my cute model who wanted to pose as if she was sleeping :)
