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. 

My latest collection: Dorami (Doraemon's Sister)

It's been 2 months odd since I last blog. During the 2 months I went South Korea for 10 days. Its been a 13 years since I last took a plane and it was exciting. Korea is one of the country I always wanted to go, having the chance to visit Korea is like a dream come true for me. Korea is definitely the best place to visit if you want to buy fabrics. I spent most of my money buying fabrics, their fabrics are simply beautiful.

Beside travelling I did an amigurumi of Doraemon's sister, Dorami. They were siblings as they were operate using the same oil can. I am currently looking for blue yarn so I can make Doraemon which is my favourite cartoon character. Without further ado, I shall present you my Dorami project.

 

 

 

Though my Dorami may look a little weird but it simply make me happy when ever I look at it.

Blue top with black collar

It has been a long long time since my last post. I been busy sewing clothes for my mum and myself. I will be posting pictures of clothes I sewed for my mum soon. :)

Recently when I was browsing the gmarket I got inspired by the clothes sold on the website and decided to design a top for myself. Thanks to my sewing classmate who brought me to a shop which sell cheap pre-cut fabric, I managed to get the blue fabric at a bargain price. As for the collar I used remaining fabric I have from my previous projects.

 

I wanted to sew a chelsea collar however due to my drafting of the pattern the collar look a little weird especially at the back.

 For this post I would like to thank my friend, Boo, for taking the photos for me :)

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?

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 )

Butterfly inspired bow tie

As the title suggest, this project is inspired by a butterfly that gave me a shock while I was walking home. It flew in front of me out of no where. I've used remaining fabric that I had from a project that I did recently which I will share on my blog once I finished hemming it. :)

Tada! The finished product

 

 

I notice when the French barrette are being attached to the bow, a gap would be visible at the side.

To counter the problem, I sewed a few stitches to secure the bow to the French barrette

After stitching the gap is closed.

I've wrap the ribbon over the French barrette as an extra precaution.

 

Amigurumi Penguin Couple

Recently I did 2 amigurumi penguins. It is a soft toy done using crocheting or knitting method. There is a saying in chinese, 好事成双 (hao shi cheng shuang) which meant good things comes in a pair. For this project, I made a penguin couple and added bow to its neck and head to show guy and girl respectively. This is also my first art piece that I would like to put on Etsy in the future to share. Hope you will like it too.
