Liberty (style) dress

Last weekend, I have finished a maxi dress for my sister in law. It's ready to go!

Of course, I have started next dress for me.. However British summer is little cool now..
Hopefully I will be able to wear summer dress made by me!

Now I have just finished Liberty style dress. The fabric from my favourite indian fabric shop.

When I saw this fabric, it was very pretty but I was not quite sure that fabric could be suit for me or not as I have never chosen liberty style dress in my life..

Interestingly while I was researching the liberty dress from various dressmaking blog, this blog gave me so many inspired of ideas of fantastic dress making.

merci! paris

Now I have done my first liberty style dress and I will try to wear for going out! yay!

Have a nice day,

Lining day

It was very nice day yesterday.
After came back from shopping at Indian fabric shop, I spent time for practicing...
Ukulele

I have got this Ukulele last year's birthday (my 21st birthday - again) and I have been practicing little by little.

At the beginning, the sound was horrible, I watched YouTube and reading beginner's book to modify my posture of fingers.

Now sound is better but I still only knew few chords.. maybe in 10 years time, I could be better. Haha. :)

Today, I'm working for finishing pink maxi dress for my sister in law. I'm adding lining to this dress.
This dress nearly done.  This dress will be for her one of holiday clothes on the beach!

Have a nice evening,

Elephant Dress

Few weeks ago, I have bought the fabric with Elephant print at Indian Fabric shop.

My husband said this fabric was so lovely, I must buy it - but I was not quite sure what kind of dress or skirt could be used? This print is too indian and my poor imagination was stuck with dress from indian dress shop..
As my husband said I must buy it! I bought it..

I have been checking many pattern or fashion magazine - and reached at this print could be used long skirt or maxi dress. But not so fabulous idea..

But after making brown dress, I thought this was it! I could use the same pattern to make a dress!!

And the result.

Good! Well done me! :D
While cutting fabric, I carefully choose the print part. Back and Front has to match the print pattern.

Here is the attached part between front and back.
Almost perfect.

Also I added lining as well - no worries about inner.. :)

Summer has started from Last week(finally!) and I will wear this cool dress during summer time!

Have a nice day,
