Silk Crepe Tailored Pants

I have been looking for nice tailored pants and I found

that's very difficult to find the right one. Maybe I'm 

being too fussy, anyway I decided to make the one.

 I basically used McCall pattern M6403 but I extended 

back and front crotch length to make it to have loose 

appearance. It comes up very comfortable to wear and 

very happy with it. 

A wonderful new year - Summer Silk Top

I have been spoiled during this Christmas. I should thanks for

my lovely husband and daughter. First thing I did on Boxing Day, of

course went to Tessuti Sale. I bought 6 different silks: black, white,

biege, floral, graphic...etc. I just realised that how pleasure to sew with

 a quality fabric. Those two tops are my first products of this new year. 

Wishing you have a wonderful year in 2013!!!

A Happy Holiday - overall

I'm really enjoying summer; hot weather, holidays, beach and 

beautiful summer outfits. I got this DKNY fabric in Fabric 

shop on Brunswick st very very very cheap. I promised to my self

that don't buy a cheap fabric but I couldn't resist to buy this

one. Because I was thinking to make my first overall for this summer

and this fabric was perfect for the experiment. My husband called

 it circus clown costume, actually I liked that name and enjoy wearing it.

The Bridal Dress - Valentino

 Galaxy Print Dress

This astro Galaxy silk fabric was captured my eye 

immediately at Tessuti. So I couldn't resist and bought

a metre. When I come home my daughter liked it a lot and 

a few days later went to Tessuti to buy more of this,

 it was sold out. I knew, everyone see this can't resist it. 

I made a pattern raglan sleeve with pleated shoulder for 

something different. Also I used a plain grey silk fabric 

for sleeves. 

Printed Pants

You know the printed pants is latest trend now on the street.

I was looking for structured print pants fabric since then 

and I found it of course in Tessuti. It is double woven

cotton, I think the price was reasonable but don't remember

exactly how much. Anyway for me a metre fabric is plenty

enough for the pants. I used same old my favorite McCall 

pattern M6403. I experimented this geometric pattern 

mix with floral top. Everybody liked this combination

except my husband. I think I need update 

my husbands fashion sense!!!!!

Ruddy Pink and Apricot Grey

Recently, I bought this Stuart Weitzman shoes from Amazon

 and when I saw the online the colour was more vivid, brighter 

but when I've got the shoe the colour wasn't I expected one. 

That is bad side of the online shopping. Anyway, the shape 

and comfiness is great and the hill so sexy. Then I  decided to 

keep it and make an outfit for this shoes. For top fabric is philosophy 

jersey from Tessuti,the skirt is silk linen fabric from Rathdown and 

the jacket woven fabric from Mad Fabric. I love the jacket colour 

at once I saw it and it was $5 a metre, can you believe it!!!
