Pinafore dress

Now I can sleep well knowing I have already started ticking my list and able to update my blog....seriously I had sleepless nights sometimes. Over! I started with No. 1) Refashion : Nia's dress using denim jeans and remnants (soft cotton corduroy and plain cotton) of previous project. Happy with how it came out, even though quite different than how I imagined but can't help the creativity (ia la sangat..) juice flow influence me to deviate.

My vision : (L) Nia's dress and (R) little one in the tummy's dress Not done yet.

The front. The plain dark pink cotton I used for lining only on the top yoke so that it gives a more sturdy structure. I didn't add any ribbon at the yoke lining coz I think it is nice looking plain like this.
Closer look of the top yoke. How it looks at the back. It can be worn over a short/long sleeve blouse like the pinafore but of course for Nia it has to be in a cooler temperature area. She sweat on her scalp easily which gives her the wet look. :p

Cut away

Today I only have mood and time to cut. Since I have so many things I want to do and organize, I brought out all the material I want to use and start cutting. It's probably the nesting period where a preggy mummy starts organizing and cleaning stuff. I am happy with today's progress. This will keep me busy for some time since I am on leave for 3 days this week but one thing for sure I have to go and watch a movie. I've not done that in ages. I feel like watching Merong Mahawangsa.


The cut bit done.

Top & Skirt Jeans Apron

So finally I finished the refashion jeans I planned to make which I purchased recently. I really like how it came out. I hope the owner likes it too. I got this idea from a blogger friend Ms SewLove :) The pictures doesn't do justice here but that's how it is with me and my camera phone. We do have our good times, just not this time :)

The flared jeans. It already has a nice studded pearls just below the pocket line.

Opened up the seam to get the front and back and cut off the flare bit
(which is for other projects)
So you know now what I am going to do with the back part? Another apron....yes!
Coming up soon I hope.....

The personalised embroidered print 'Senior Masterchef Mummy'.

Didn't have any other ideas at the moment, so added the string belt.

It looks much better in real life, trust me.
