Have been sewing for Hanhan and others for most of the time, now it's time to sew for myself.
Made a top during the weekend. Not very successful, but after alteration still wearable. This is the second top that I have made for myself. My 1st attempt in making a top for myself a long while ago (haha... just checked my blog, that's 2 yrs ago :P), I made it too small and in the end I altered it and give it to my sis. So this time I use a bigger size without considering the cutting of the top design :P and it ended way too big. Daddy thought that I had made a sleep wear when I show him.*faint*
Determined to make it my own (don't want to let it go to waste or give it to my sis again) I start to alter it. To make it smaller, I cut quite a bit out from the sleeves, sides and bottom. The neckline is also way too big, but I'm too lazy to rip it, so I did a fold at the middle front.
And Ta-Dah!!
Ok... not fantastic... but very comfortable, which is my 1st priority in choosing clothes :) Made with Atelier Akiko polka dots with doodle (pink), a double gauze cotton, very soft and comfortable.
More selfishness came along after the top.
Fabric used: Kyo Yasai Radish (blue)
A wristless for myself.
Have been wanting to make one for myself but I just don't know why I didn't, and I really need one badly. I have never been one who know how to shop( not very women.... I know, oh.... forgot to mention that exclude shopping for fabrics and crafting supplies ) and knowing how to sew just give me more reasons to say "I can sew it myself, why buy?" even though I can't really sew all stuffs HAHA... and that's why I really need it badly.
This wristlet is triggering more of my selfishness........
