easy-to-sew Simplicity 3557

I've got the itch to sew… for myself. Just because I’ve own the black manny now. It helps me feel that I’m a professional sewer heheww..

I bet most of u already know that I have quite a number of sewing patterns (the envelope type) that I’ve purchased last year through Lynn of SpinningSpool Shoppe, and none of them were transformed into reality eventho I have tons of sewing planned for myself .

Yeah, I like to dream big when I purchased all the patterns. Unfortunately, I have limited time, lack of energy and enthusiasm to sew for myself.

Looking at my black manny makes me feeling revitalized and I’m sewing for myself with much gusto.


I used Simplicity 3557 - View D but i made a lot of variations to it. I omitted the ties and shorten the length. And it's not a dress anymore because of these variations. It's more of a blouse now. I just love the empire-waist and princess-seams design. It's really easy-to-sew indeed. Not having a zipper makes it even easier!

it looks great on her(the mannequin), right?

However, it is not really comfortable as it's a bit tight around the armscye area. Should make it bigger, if I were to sew it again in the future. Oh, the bottom of the blouse also sangat kembang.

For some reason, I am obsessed in making my own clothes, more,more and more. Or..maybe I should complete my unfinished baju raya first-lah.
Nonetheless, this is my second piece. But still, i forgot to adjust the sleeve/armscye area* sigh*


love the elastic thread :)

Dura, sangat cantik the blouse. Especially yg kembang warna hitam tu, tambah tali ikat belakang tentu feminin gitu! Ala, sukanya tengok. I peminat baju gini hehe...kalau takmau yg hitam tu, bagi kat I, kita tukar2, I bagi u beg hehe...

Zura, bhg neckline macamtu rasa selesa. tapi kembang kat bawah tu cam kembang sangat. kena adjust jugak tu next time.
material untuk hitam to jap cotton. yang kuning tu pulak, cotton yang lembut yang org panggil viscose tu.

Sue, alolo janganle sedih. tak berani nak amik tempahan baju dewasa la. baju yg aku buat ni pun tak berapa selesa kat lengan. kena improvise patterns & polish skills dulu baru boleh amek order from member2 :)


Liza, design asal ada tali ikat belakang. tapi i omit tali tu sebab tak suka & nak cepat. alaa, i dah pakai pun baju ni. takleh la nak exchange bag huhu..

Hi Durra, salam perkenalan...Wow, very nice blouse. Kembang kat bawah tu cantik sebenarnya. Boleh match up dengan skinny jeans or leggings. Mcm nak buat 1 jugak la.. :)
