Simplicity 4760 Pattern

One of the first things I ever had to sew in fashion school was a shirt. Back then it took me a good few weeks to get it done and to this day I don't even wear it (however my friend Miriam begged me to have it and she actually wears it) and I don't even know how the teacher accepted my attempt at a shirt. By now I have gotten the hang of it and can make in about a few hours.

My brother's closet consists of t-shirts and short sleeved shirts so he asked me to make him one. I had only made one woman's shirt before but it was basically the same steps.

 

This is the pattern I got for him. I ended up making the yellow one in a small size.

at least smile.

This was the first shirt I made him. It came out pretty good for my first try.

So then I made him a second one.

I told my bro he's my new male model. haha.

The second one came out a lot better except it shrunk (you can see it fits tight on the sleeves) and this shirt was originally a light pink. My brother said he wanted to wear a pink shirt but once he tried it on he no longer liked the pink color (he's actually really picky) so I improvised and dyed it this color (this was one of the first garments I ever dyed).

I'm now in the process of making him a denim shirt.



New Look 0165 patterns

I had lots of good amounts of cotton fabric laying around from previous projects so I decided to make some dresses for this summer heat with them.

For this first dress, I used this pretty patterned fabric my friend Grace brought me back from Indonesia.

This second dress reminds me of the tent dresses popular in the 60's. I would actually wear it to a 60's theme party if I wanted to.

 

These tent dresses were the easiest dresses I have ever sewn and I think they are really cute.



Studded trucker hat

My new studs from China arrived two days ago. Of course, I went crazy and studded everything I set my eyes on, including this trucket hat.

Poor hat never stood a chance!

If you're interested in the hat, I have it listed in my shop on Etsy.

I decided to open my own little shop on Etsy and sell some of the stuff I make or refashion.

If you have a chance, please take a look at it.

I will slowly be adding more stuff on it.
