Love Sewing!!

Marine T-shirt

Recntly I have been trying to reduce my fabric stash...　This is very rough and thin linen & cotton jersey fabric. I have kept it away because it seemed to be a little difficult for me to sew well. To use it, I decided to draft very, very simple pattern for it.

I really love the dorman sleeves, which is very easy to make and is perfect to hide my fat upper arms... :)

And I made a bow brooch from the scrap.
It can be moved anywhere I like. I also love put it on the back. It's cute, isn't it ? ;)

Butterfly Sleeve Blouse

I drafted patterns for this blouse, and sewed this as a trial. I used this soft and thin fabric which was only 100yen per meter. But it is good enough to wear to go out. Yey!
( Yes, it's absolutely needed a camisole. )

These sleeves like a butterfly feature this blouse. I saw this kind of sleeves so oftern while shopping that I tried to make it. How does it look? It's gorgeous, isn't it? ;)

Now I need to modify some parts of the patterns, and I will sew it again.

Cozy Nighties

A month has already passed after the last post... I'm alive...My interests have been changing day by day, and gone so far from sewing so long...thus I didn't intend to sit in front of my sewing machines.....

After a long time, I made 2 nighties. Here in Japan, because of a rainy season, temperature and humidity are tooooo high even at night. Cannot sleep!! :( So I absoluterly needed some cozy and cool nighties!

The first one.

And the second. I used double-gause fabric.

I made it longer.

Neck details were changed a little.

I prefer the second one.

*****************************

I started 'BIOTOPE'!!

Water-lily, which is one of my favorite flowers!, and some water plants are planted together in the bowl. Small fish, which is called Medaka in Japanese, is also swimming happily in the water.

Crinkled Dress

I used the same pattern as a tiered long dress I made before.

This time fabric was short a bit, so I made it a knee-length dress.

I added this frill on the top of front, and I like it so much. :-)

Can you see this crinkle? I made it by myself!

At first, it was TOO voluminous just like the pregnant or a baloon !

(OH, I should take a before photo... what a stupid.. )

That was just because the fabric was stiff a bit.

I was thinking how to do with it, and I remembered a wonderful idea!!

I got a dress wet in the water, made it twisted,

and left it under the sun one day.

Just did this.

I got a good fit!!

I was satisfied with the result so much.

I highly recommend this way, but please note it can be only for cotton.

And do the same when you wash it.

Tiered Pullover

As after washed, it is tribbly wrinkled... :-(

Pattern is from Japanese pattern shop which sells e-patterns,

and we can also buy the same fabrics as ones used in the sample photos.

I tried this shop for the first time.

Unfinished frills and hem are cute, I think.

And it looks complicated, but in fact, it's very easy to make!

It took only in an hour!
