Peasant Blouse

Finally I've completed a dress for my soon-to-be-arrived-baby-girl. Thank you so much to Maya for the wonderful tutorial and the effort to make the tut for the world to learn. The tut is so easy to follow and you do not need a pattern for it. Her explanation on cutting the fabric is very well presented. :) This tutorial is for 6-12 months old baby so I guess it's going to be in the closet for quite some time before the owner could wear it. :) Btw, the pants tutorial is not included. I actually just applied the same method for the ruffle on the short tutorial. I thought I'd be great for baby girls pants to have ruffles on it. ;)

I bought the fabric from Kamdar and it was on sale. It cost me less than RM5 per meter and for this dress, it only requires half a meter. The fabric isn't as cute as the designer' fabric but it's good enough for a rookie like me. So I won't feel miserable ruining the expensive designer fabric if I screw up.. ;p I think I could make another dress from Maya's tutorial - The dahlia dress - out of the left overs fabric. Yay! :) How I wish I have stashes of fabric to work on.. Oh well.. :)

Boy's button-up shirt - v2

It's hard to make the kids sit still for the photo session. Haha! Thanks to Brittany, so far I've managed to make 3 button-up shirt for my son and nephews. :)

I love the rainbow fabric. It suits well with my nephew Haziq and I love the dark blue burberry fabric on Amir. :) Since I didn't get the chance to measure them myself, it's all based on a hunch.. lol! The pants and sleeves are shorter for Amir and for Haziq, it fitted just nice which means, he can only wear it for a couple of weeks. Haha! :)

As for the felt design, I was looking for how to stitch a blanket stitch and I found a great webby - Crafty Daisies on the how-to.

Pants + Kimono shirt = Pajama! YAY!

I found an awesome tutorial on how to sew shorts as it's one of my goal to make Zhafran's short since I took up sewing. It's so handy to know the how to when you really needed one. As of now I've made several shorts and long pants for my son. Never knew it'd be so easy. Although my sewing skill still sucks. LOL! I'm so thankful to have found the tutorial. I can pair it up with the kimono that I made on the last entry. Now I can make a pajama out of it!

P/S: I hope I can make my own pants/shorts based on the tut!

Here are the devils!
