Peasant Top

Finally... i have the courage to try peasant top pattern. I made it..yay! I'm using blue gingham fabric i bought couple years ago at a big fabric market in Jakarta. Honestly, it's not a good quality fabric, but i was too scared to use the good cotton fabric i have in my stash. My fabric stash is not as big as my yarn stash.. so i have to choose wisely for any 1st attempt project.

There's one more picture of Jessica wearing this top that i like, but her undies is showing, i took my phone cam position too low. I'll have to edit it first before i post it.

So, i made this peasant top based on some patterns i found here and here.

Round Neck Dress

I love to see her in this dress, it really makes me want to make more of round neck top/dress.

Now i know, if i want to stick on using my blackberry camera phone, i have to take pictures outside the house..

Round Neck Top from thatdarnkate

These are my nieces, Janice & Jesslyn. I made them those dress November last year, but i was too busy (with i'm not sure what :D) so i just gave them the dress a couple days ago. I made one for Jessica too (will post the pics later on). The pattern come from Round Neck Top by thatdarnkat. I love this pattern, you can make a top or a dress, just adjust the length of the body.

Itty Bitty Dress in Batik

More than a year ago, before i found out i was pregnant, i took a sewing lesson, it should be a 1 year lesson, but then i got pregnant and with so many execuses i stop coming to the class after 2 months, shame on me, i'm thinking to go back to class, hmm.. so i only know a little basic of sewing, i'm not even good at straight line sewing, result never neat & straight :D But i love to sew and to try new pattern, here is my first attempt in making Jess's clothes, found this Itty Bitty Baby Dress from Made by Rae, love it, but i don't know how to make piping, so i made a fake piping and.. it's the first time i made ruffle (sigh, took me a while to put them together, but now i'm getting better ha ha).

(right picture: my husband hold it for me ^^)
It's not neat at all, i know, but i'm happy with it. The fabric is Batik. Jess wore it on Indonesian Batik Day (left picture), October 2nd 2009, UNESCO made it official (yay!).

Crochet Hat for my baby JRoz

Here is Jess with her pink crochet hat, the pattern come from a japanese book, Let's knit series "Mama & Grandmama Knit for Baby" (ISBN4-529-04151-4). I used thinner yarn, so it's not as fluffy as in the book.
