A historical day



Last weekend marked a historical day in my life, I get to meet one of my idols. Before planning our trip there, we're undecided. At last, we managed to get to the resort island and dine here.
I'm neither a politician nor a powerman in the house. I admire him as a general citizen would coz Tun Dr. Mahathir is an inspiring leader not only in our homeland but also a significant world leader.

And I think I need to thank my cousin for looking after my both kids while I was busy squeezing myself into the crowds. I would make a dress for her and would not reveal much now till the dress is completed.

My skirt


We all need to update our wardrobe at least twice a year; which means in about 6 mos once in our just 1-season climate. Also, I don't want to bore my friends and people around by wearing the same set of clothing in and out throughout the year.

Looking at my collection of fabrics, I picked this cotton of Japanese print to make this simple skirt with a under layer and hidden zipper. Aunt is a dress maker staying a kilometer away, she gave me some tutorials and tips on how to make the skirt. Over the weekend, I had got it done - a new skirt for myself ^_^.
Also being sewn is my younger sister's skirt from the same pattern as mine, hers is pink. I'll upload her skirt here some other day because it's still in progress.
I think I like to make skirt : ) What have you sewn recently?
