Toddler's Dress

Yet another first! A dress I made for Ee Hui's baby girl, Yun Xuan. 

I curved the front neckline cause square neckline seemed uncomfortable. 

I'm thankful for having an overlocker to finish the seams nicely. 

Close up on the armhole.

Fold the dress and put it into the re-useable 'wrapper' neatly.

Draw the string and all ready to visit its owner! :) 

Delivered! hehe

Pouch's fabric: Cotton from Spotlight

Dress's fabric: Double cloth cotton from fabrictales.com
Pattern from following book:

New book I bought from Taipei. Step by step pictorial guide helped me understand the instructions much better. 

Peasant Dress

Another dress from a japanese book titled "Dress Style Book". It's called peasant dress. I used raglan sleeves instead, with elastic bands inserted. I like how the elastic band makes the creases look neater. :)

Closer view of the dress. This was the first time I worked with bias tape. 

Matched the dress with Naraya hat form Thailand and shoes from Taiwan.

Kitty decided to join in the fun.. 

The dress is comfortable and airy for humid Singapore. My friend commented that it can double up as a maternity dress too. :) 

Summer Dress

Finally found time to take picture of the first dress I made - Summer Dress! Pattern from japanese book titled "Dress Style Book". The neckline is made higher than original. I've worn this dress out many times.. It's perfect for the most-of-the-time-sunny Singapore. :)

Look at those awful t-shirt sleeve tan lines on my arms! I should hide from the sun when I ride. 

Currently...

Working on this.

There are many firsts in this project:

- using the 'eyelet' stitch

- sewing sleeves

- elastic sleeves

- drawstring collar

Low Waist Ruffles Dress

This is my 2nd dress from a japanese book titled "Dress Style Book". The original dress has 3 ruffles which I felt was too cluttered. I took a long time to decide using 1 instead cause I had the hardest time hemming all the ruffles! XD

Love the dress! Great for wedding dinners!
