Done it! I joined the Sew It - a sew along organised by lovely Mayya at Sew Chic and Unique when I saw they are sewing this simple sundress, an online tutorial over at Habitual.
I've seen this tute before but never got around to sewing it. So, this sew along is a great motivator for me to create. And of course, as I found out the best way to get Hanan to wear what I sew for her is by sewing identical garments for her sister, I made two! She gets really excited now and pestered her sister to put on the dress quickly and had a big smile when both of them walk hand in hand.
Aisha wears everything with jeans and not very keen of dresses. So I made this as a top for her. Fabric is Heather Bailey's Pop Garden - a bright red essence for Aisha and a softer peachy one for Hanan. I love this collection so much...
Sewed both dress & top for 2 hours. Really simple, pillowcase-style construction. The armhole was quite large so both my daughters wanted the t-shirt inside. Seen here at their grandparents house for a lunch party.
And this little cupcake always warms her mommy's heart with that smile :)
zura...they look very pretty with their new dress. I love the fabric too...

kak nurain - mekasih...cubalah tutorial ni, senang je..tapi pattern yang arwah mak akak ajar tu pasti lebih special & meaningful kan? bagi i menjahit ni eratkan kasih sayang ibu & anak :)
I love them! And I love your fabric selections!
ReplyDeletethank you amy! could not have done it without your fabulous tutorial :)
ReplyDeleteI love this dress. I tried to make one. I guess for a beginner at sewing I did okay but I hope that I can better my skills as I get more practice. Here is my blog if you'd like to check it out, http://recycleurclothes.blogspot.com/ I have only posted a couple of my projects but I hope to keep posting something new everyday.
