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. 

Pink Polka dot Sleeveless dress

It has been quite awhile since I last blog. Today I would like to share a project which I have completed a month ago (Thankfully I am still able to fit into the dress as I have put on weight lately. -.- ) This is my first attempt doing a sleeveless project. Hope it does turn out well :)

 

This is my design of the dress. It's a rather simple design since it is my first attempt. Instead of making a full box pleated bottom, I've made the pleats below the dart area fold towards the centre.

 

 

 

 

I've used the pink bow hair tie which I did previously to match my dress. :)

 

 

I've placed a belt so as to make my waist line more visible.

 

 

 

Does the dress look better with or without the belt?
