I realized that I dont have much dresses I can wear to work. They are either too casual(read: too much boobs), or too fancy and formal (I work at a place where most wear a Tshirt and jeans). So I decided to make one that is cute, casual, but has enough coverage. After flipping throughContinue reading “Dress 9 to 5”

Juebejue’s Dad sews #2
As mentioned in a previous post, my dad is a really talented tailor. Most of time he follows a pattern, but sometimes he dreams something up and after some fabric tearing, frantic sewing, and comes up with dreamy stuff like this: That is an old photo of my mom modeling a beautiful skirt dad madeContinue reading “Juebejue’s Dad sews #2”
Frock by Friday – Purple Tulips Tara
When I saw the cute tara dress from verypurpleperson, I fell in love with the Tara pattern and vowed to get some cute florals to make one very similar to hers. I started shopping on fabric.com and got a japanesy fabric that is perfect for this dress. Of course, in a pro-fabric-stasher fashion, I proceeded to purchaseContinue reading “Frock by Friday – Purple Tulips Tara”
Dart Dress Fail
I really need to take some photos! I had finished the burda dress 2010-02-125: Not exactly thrilled about the result — the fit is really weird with all the darts, and I am no good with fitting darted garments. I loved the fabric used in this project — silky, stretchy, dark and luxurious floral prints.Continue reading “Dart Dress Fail”

I gave away almost all of those soft toys to my friends before I left Singapore. But I kept my first creation, Mr Towel. As you can see, being a teenager andContinue reading “Mr Towel”
Purse on a Roll
I was waiting for my new fabric shipment from fabric.com since none of my current fabric inspired me to make anything for the summer. So I pickup a cute upholstery fabric in my stash and new handles I got from etsy, and made this: Isnt it adorable? I love that print! Bought it at hancockContinue reading “Purse on a Roll”
Hawaiian Purse for Mom!
When I was in Maui with my husband, I saw all these little cute Hawaiian print purses for sale. They were going for 35-50 a pop, depending on which gift shop you are at. As adorable as they are, I just could not stand spending that much on a purse! So even though I reallyContinue reading “Hawaiian Purse for Mom!”
Up-cycled Shirt
Made this shirt out of an unwanted shirt from my husband. This is one thing great about being a LOT smaller than my husband, I can make something even out of striped shirts! It is made with the same pattern I made for the white for maui dress: The shirt was actually from Walmart yearsContinue reading “Up-cycled Shirt”
