Main reason is, I am out of time.. I just started my short course (over 3 months). Yes, I finally did it! I finally enrolled myself to do the Basic Certificate in Human Resource Management with SHRi! Self sponsored, people! It is interesting to know that many of my coursemates are self sponsored like me too!
Another reason is that I have been busy dressmaking my whole wardrobe! Hah! Yes!!! I have finally magnet myself to take up and love dressmaking! We all know I always have complaints about the readymade clothes that are just not Muslimah enough.
So, I took up the challenge and do it all myself! I am not THAT perfect, afterall I am relatively new (though not that VERY new) to dressmaking. There are flaws, needless to say.. However, as shameless as can be, I will share my work here!
I am just very excited that my nieces and some friends have asked if I could make them one as well. SO yes, VERY excited!
I first started off with sewing my own hijabs...
 |
| Tudung Labuh Bulat. :) |
 |
| Due to many requests, I did this! |
 |
| And this! |
 |
| Well, and this too! |
 |
| I had to succumb to teamwork with my mom. |
NERVOUS I must say!!!
I was ambitious to want to complete all four in 2 nights.. Obviously, that didn't happen. I only manage to complete these two over 2 nights of work.
 |
| Simple Tunic |
 |
| Peplum with loose bodice and longer skirt |
I continued working a few days later to complete the other two:
 |
| This is by far the most complex dress I've sewn! I love it! |
 |
| Look at the room I had in this dress! |
Needless to say the above was one without the mercy of mistakes. It was initially supposed to be a full length dress, but I cleverly only cut one side, so I had to cut it in half and make it a short dress to be worn with pants instead. The sleeves got mixed up so my left sleeve ends up on my right hand and vice.
Since it is for my own, I didn't unpick it and just leave it as is. This is to remind me for the next time I attempt sleeve placket! :) I love how deep the pockets are! I can fit a 500ml bottle in the pocket easy! Hehehe...
 |
| This is something I create. I dunno what to call it. hee.. I just love pockets! Can't you tell? |
And so I decide to also venture more into pants.. and this is what happened!
 |
| I love this! |
 |
| But I love this more! This is SKANTS! |
Now see!! I am addicted to dressmaking now! If you are keen, my facebook page is here. :)
So, when my birthday comes, perhaps you can get me pretty fabric, yes? And throw some sewing party of some sort, right?
Until next time,
Your sewing addict!
Wassalam.
