Wardrobe project_ Collar shirt

2010-04-21T22:38:00.007+08:00

I am so envy looking at all Alviana's wardrobe collections.. ^_^.. It's weird that I have no time.. (ah-hemm actually lazy.. ;-p) to make my own wardrobe collections..

Ok.. I think it's time.. ^_^

I been making some clothing for myself.. but never post it on my blog.. My sewing projects blog..

My latest project for my wardrobe.. ^_^.. Collar Shirt.. I love collar shirt.. may be will make more with different designs and types of material on next projects..

My shirt design.. I prefer front button.. (Saved fabric too.. ;-p)

Using cotton material..

I am making my own pattern.. ^_^

I prefer to have side dart on front.. last time I hate any shirt or dress with side dart.. but when I learn to sew and I know what the dart effect on our outfit.. it's like a must to have it on almost all my clothing.. LOL

Let me tell you a secret.. I am XXL lady.. by having side dart will give shape on my outfit but still loose on tummy area.. do you get me?? NO?? well to bad.. let me keep it for myself.. ;-p ;-p

Cutting the fabric and above showing my pieces of pattern..

Happy sewing all!! ^_^ (Can't wait to create more.. ^_^)

I don't want to become blind fast.. So have this as a light support when doing any sewing.. ^_^

Sewing using readymade pattern?

2010-04-17T14:55:00.005+08:00

(Photos above from Google)

I Saw some sewing blogger using a readymade pattern to do their sewing projects.. I never tried using this yet.. but it looks interesting tho'..

I wanted to try but I am afraid I will lost among the mix up pattern.. LOL

I was train to make my own pattern to make my projects.. So I am quite worry if I can do it or not.. ~.@

But.. If you never try you will never know.. So I am going to 'dive in' and see what I can do.. ^_^. I think we can gain extra knowledge on how to cut fabric for new style too.. Uhhh.. I can't wait..

So much things I want to try.. but I know I must start with something.. ^_^

Project _Baju Kurung Pesak Gantung

2010-01-30T00:37:00.006+08:00

My recent project. Baju Kurung pesak gantung.. Here are some of the process..

Note: This is not a tutorial.. Just showing the process of my project. But It might inspired you on my future coming tutorial. ^_^

1. Cutting the pattern (Pola baju)

2. This is the way how I take the body part. Measure the wide of the 'body' 1st and fold into 2.

3. Place the body pattern on fabric.

4. Trace pattern on fabric.

5. Always mark 'X' for front part of baju.

6. Cutting sleeves and trace.

7. Trace back neck line on 'kain gam'.

8. Trace front neck line on 'kain gam' and iron both into fabric.

Note: For this baju pesak gantung, I make the neck separate (Not like Kurung asli just round). Because this baju required NO shoulder pad, so the shoulder line down for 1.2".

Will continued..

Intro_ Baju kurung Pesak gantung

Just finished doing this project.. I will upload the process soon.. Nak edit chantekk...chantekkk... dulu... ;-p

Creme Blouse.. Front Lace..

2009-11-21T00:03:00.003+08:00

Hi friends.. I am so sorry for lacked of update in here.. It's end of the year and I am quite busy with few things.. ^_^ (Do visit my personal blog to see what I am up to ya.. *Wink*)

Let me show you my latest project. It's for my MIL. She is attending a wedding and I totally forgot about it and I quickly cut and sew this last night.. Will continue with the button later.

Cutting process.. I am cutting the border lace to make a simple decor infront of this blouse..

After cutting and edging.. This process, sewing the dart..

Sambung bahu..

I already sew the lace infront of the baju.. Iron semua jahitan supaya kemas.. ^_^

Badan dah siap..

Now I jahit kolar lah pulak.. Kali ni tak guna kain gam keras.. Sebab nak pakai dalam masa terdekat so I use yg nipis je.. ;-p

Bucu kolar.. I always use this method.. Supaya nanti bucu kolar nampak kemas je.. No need use benda tajam utk korek.. ^_^

Snip sekeliling supaya senang nak iron apabila di terbalikkan nanti..

Ha.. Ni lah method yg I guna utk kemas kan bucu kolar tadi tu.. Time terbalikkan kolar just tarik benang tadi and bucu keluar dengan kemas.. Practise make perfect.. I pun tersasar jugak sometimes.. ;-p

Join kolar and badan blouse.. Lepas tu sambung kan tangan (Cara jahit tangan.. style kemeja yer)

Ok.. yang ni dah complete.. left the button.. I will do it later..

Kain pun cukup2 je.. Uhh If tak tau nak jimat kain... Siap laporan lah lu.... ;-p

Hope you enjoy watching.. ^_^

My Fashion fav from Msian Woman's weekly Oct 09

2009-10-02T20:32:00.000+08:00

Bought Malaysian Woman's weekly Oct issue.. and Fashion that I 'heart' this month was..

I just love the sleeves... Such a simple dress yet so fashionable... This 1 quite short but for those who loves short dresses.. sesuai lah tu... Mmm.. May be can 'improvise' make it longer to knee level?? ;-p

(Org pandai menjahit je yg tau buat... ;-p)

Class menjahit dah mula.. just refer under 'Classes'...

(Part 1)_ Alat Jahitan Yang Diperlukan dalam Kelas

2009-10-02T15:33:00.004+08:00

Sebelum kelas di mulakan, saya akan bermula dari pengenalan dahulu.. Khas untuk mereka yang betul2 belum pernah menjahit.

Pengunaan perkataan mungkin berlainan dengan apa yang anda pernah dengar atau belajar.. Ini adalah cara saya memanggil alat2 ini dan cara saya mengajar yerr... So jangannn mareee... ^_^

1. Alat2 asas yang saya perlukan dalam melukis pola pakaian.

Shapping ruler (Untuk membentuk bahagian pinggang atau punggung)
Big head ruler (Saya akan lebih menggunakan pembaris ini utk melakar pola yerr..)
Gunting kertas (Untuk mengunting pola kertas.. di nasihatkan jgn lah gunakan gunting kain yu... nanti tumpul.. ;-p)
Pencil utk melakar. Saya selalu menggunakan 2 warna (1 utk melakar pola depan dan warna 1 lagi utk melakar pola belakang). Tapi dalam kelas ini saya akan menggunakan 'marker pen' supaya anda boleh lihat dgn lebih jelas (Korang jgn pulak pakai marker pen yerr...)

2. Alat2 asas yang perlu dalam jahitan :

Big head ruler
Gunting kain
Peniti (Perlu dalam kuantiti yg lebih yerr...)
Kertas surih
Roda surih
Pembuka benang
Pemotong benang
Kapur jahitan
Mesin jahit dan benang (Ni tak payah lah ambik photo kan... dah tau kan??)
Kain

End of part 1. Next Part 2 (Belajar 'hemming' atau sembat.. Kalau org sabah kata 'jahit tgn'.. ;-p)

My working Place..

2009-09-28T17:46:00.003+08:00

(Took this photo from my main blog.. ;-p)

It's time to re arrange my working place.. Buy some IKEA stuff..

Previously was our guest room.. but now I take it as my working place.. ^_^..

Excited!! Still in a mess tho'... ^_^

Kemeja wanita berkolar

2009-09-25T13:25:00.005+08:00

Note : This is not my tutorial. It will be something like this but much more detail.. ^_^

Showing you my 1st project for this blog. ^_^. Any sewing I make I will called it a 'project'.. Just for your info.. ;-p

Project : Kemeja wanita berkolar, tangan 3/4.

Pola yang sudah dipotong dan sudah di jahit tepi. Siap sedia utk dijahit.

Untuk kemeja berkolar, sambung kan bahu terlebih dahulu.

Kolar yg sudah siap di jahit.
Iron kolar supaya nampak lebih kemas apabila proses mencantum ke badan baju.

Proses mencantum kolar ke leher baju.
This part a bit tricky.. Practise make perfect.

Done..
Iron bahagian jahitan.

Selepas selesai menjahit kolar, baru lah jahit setiap dat baju.
Tips: Akhiri jahitan di bucu dengan mengikat benang seperti di atas (Ikat jauh dari jahitan). Supaya apabila anda menerika jahitan dat, ia tidak kembung pada bucu.

This step showing cara mencantum tangan ke badan baju.
Cantum kan bahagian bahu terlebih dahulu..

Kemudian baru lah jahit sekali, dari lengan ke badan.. Ikut anak panah.

Semua bahagian sudah di jahit. Seterika supaya kemas.
Now, I am ready for the buttons.

Selalunya saya akan hantar ke kedai untuk membuat lubang butang.
Kali ini, saya akan menggunakan kaki lubang butang (Given by my sister from KK ^_^) saya sendiri.
Jenis ini hanya boleh digunakan pada mesin lama (I tried to us it on my SINGER heavy duty machine.. tak boleh larrr... T_T)

I am done.. Hope you enjoy viewing.. and I hope my BM is ok.. lol..lol.. Sila betulkan penggunaan bahasa saya jika ada kesilapan ya...

Terima Kasih.. ^_^
