Seam binding Peter Pan collar for Mum

This is another post of a top I sewed for my mum recently. My mum went to Chinatown last weekend to get this polka dot cotton fabric which is made in Japan. For this top I decided to add blue binding around the collar so as to make the collar more outstanding. This is my first time sewing mitered corner, I followed tutorials on YouTube on how to sew mitred corner and it turn out presentable on the right side of the collar (the wrong side is horrible as I have difficulty sewing the bias tape to the fabric). For the bias tape I used cotton bias tape instead of satin bias tape.

The fabric wrinkle after wearing it for a day at work.

Polka Dots Blue top for Mum

This is another top I did for my mum last weekend. My mum bought this polka dot fabric many years ago from Chinatown. My Mum wanted a low cut boat neck design but how could a boat neck be low cut? I then decide to change the boat neck collar to a wide round neck instead. I added collar to it using remaining fabric from the previous blue top project. Material of the polka dot fabric is cotton. 

Drape blue top for Mummy

Over the weekend I manage to complete 2 top for my mum. (She was extremely happy when it was completed) She found this fabric while cleaning up her craft stuffs, there are many fabrics "buried' with her craft materials. I am quite overwhelmed by the amount of fabric hidden in the house which I think I will take years to complete.

For this post I will share the first top I've completed. For this top I used the design published on Lady Boutique 08/2013. This is my first attempt doing drape design hope it turn out decent enough to wear :). The shoulder of this top have a overlap at the wrong side thus covering the shoulder seams. The fabric used is polyester which is wrinkle resistance = does not require ironing.

             This is the underside of the shoulder which I had attached an overlap piece and did a slip stitch.

My amigurumi Doraemon!

This is my first 2014 post for my blog. It has been a long long time since I last blog. I would like to share a project which I had done a couple of months ago. This is the first amigurumi Doraemon. (My favorite cartoon character)

I love this Doraemon size. Small and cute. 

Turtle neck blue top

Continuation from my previous post (butterfly inspired bow), I would like to share with you the top I made using the same fabric. It is a turtle neck top. I've made the turtle neck wide and lower so I won't feel hot wearing it. This top could have been better if I picked a fabric which has better resistant to wrinkle. (This fabric wrinkle easily T.T )

Princess seam and pleated skirt dress- Part 1

I would like to share a fabric that I bought recently. It's for my new sewing project. I will update this blog post once the dress is complete. Hope it will turn out well. :)

Fabric: Made in Japan 100% Cotton

I love the design as it look like flower motif when you look closer.

This fabric can be used on either side.

This is the design I intend to sew using this fabric. (Please bear with my horrible drawing)
