I blame Fellini
2 years ago, I bought this 1950s vintage Simplicity pattern from Antique Dollhouse of Patterns. Only made this dress a couple of weeks ago while I was going through this Fellini phase and finding excuses to walk by Arab street to just look at fabric. Made some tweaks to make it more, 2010. Worked on [...]
Easy Peasy Skirt
Realised I have a crazy amount of fabric stashed away and made this skirt in about 2 hours. Super simple and easy tutorial here by Dacia Ray. Felt Flower by Rockit Science, Pinkpaws.
Another Blouse
Made this cute little blouse from this Japanese pattern book. It was the simplest one to make of the lot and after some attempts at sewing clothes, it is easier to understand the illustrations. Bought this cotton fabric with little flowers from People’s Park at $7/meter and only used about 1½ meters. Cheaper to make [...]
Fabienne Shirtdress
I made a dress! 0505 FABIENNE Shirtdress by Fitzpatterns. My first dress, this was easier to make after 2 attempts at sewing clothing. I love this dress (really just a very long shirt) and received quite a lot of compliments for it. This was made with a linen-polyester blend and took me 2 days to [...]
Sophia Carry All
The Sophia Carry-All is completed! It’s hard not to fall in love with the bag when you first see it on Amy Butler’s website. It has a great shape and something Audrey Hepburn-chic about it. This cute fabric is Bubble Bees Olive by Flutterby. It took me 2 full days and 2 half days to [...]
Le Sac
I made the Frenchy Bag! Eeet ees sooo preeeeety! I finally bought the Amy Butler Frenchy Bag pattern on ebay after weeks of consideration and I am so pleased I did because I am so so happy because I now have a bag that fits all my stuff and more should such capacity was required. [...]
Built by Elena
I’ve sewn a blouse. A proper one this time. A white cotton waffled blouse with shiny red hexagon buttons! Featuring the amazing as Pin describes “Imelda Marcos sleeves”! Quite a few years ago when I was a student living in Melbourne, I procrastinated. I’m not a very good student. One of the things I decided [...]
Kink’s Purse
So part 1 of my updates… My latest obsession has been learning to sew purses with purse frames. I started about 2 weekends ago with plastic frames I bought from Golden Dragon, an experiment I made for my sister-in-law’s birthday present. It turned out not too bad. I had made one for myself too and [...]
