Cheongsam Dress

I attended a teaching workshop this morning on drama and acting. And now somehow I couldn't switch it to sewing mode, my brain just resist to switch : ( So, I'll just show you what I've been completed with in the week. It was a long pending sewing project after many sewn, ripped, sewn and ripped. Finally... da..da... a piece of Chinese traditional ceongsam with modern touch. It's my size of M/L in 100% cotton fabric, oh, my favorite.


I've added a set of chinese button right on the collar. I couldn't think of any other color besides light purple tape for the bias.

This piece of ceongsam indeed was a detailed careful handmade, and that makes me couldn't resist to put it on me, but it would be better that I only wear it on special occasion... unless if I manage to make a few more pieces, that's another story ; )
Hope you have a wonderful weekend...

Apron and homemaker

It's school holiday, my lesson with them at home is going on as usual besides having more play time ^_^ I incorporated as much play as possible so long as they are not turning to be just a bookworm. I've sewn some bean bags for them to toss around, each of them has got at least two. It is an activity that could practise hand and eye coordination and a kind of balancing for both of it. It's kinda fun, I play with them as well.


This week I made an art apron for kids with a thick cotton fabric and layered it with another less thick one. They shared one previously, but it's quite troublesome if one used it, the other don't get to use the apron. It's best for each of them to have one. The whole sewing project took around 3 hours of work, if there's break in between, it may take half a day. But the end result is quite satisfying, just another mama made thing.




I think I do need a new kitchen apron soon. It's kind of not complete for a homemaker without her kitchen apron right? yeah... all homemaker and mama reserved to have more than one.
