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 :)



sesuai ke?

untuk lelaki.

macam tak sesuai aje..

memang tak sesuai.

tambah pulak dengan keychain doraemon safiya tu.

so, i ambik lah pencil case ni ye, hubbylovey.

ingat nak bagi sama macam fabrik laptop sleeve tu.

tapi memang tak sesuai.. haha

siap letak zip untuk jeans lagi.

konon nak tahan lasak lah.

almaklumlah, orang lelaki kan kasar sikit.

tapi takpelah, i buat yang lain lah untuk you ok.

so, this is officially MINE!

:D

The Tunic of Not Enough Fabric

Can you spot the not?

I stubbornly wanted to cut the sleeve on the bias even though I knew that the fabric will be insufficient.

Luckily I had the same material, which is cotton voile, for the bust area. The colour wasn't really well coordinated. No?

Cotton Voile agak jarang dan saya tak suka sexy. Jadi, saya lapik dengan tudung bawal yang saya dah tak nak pakai :P
