Visited by the Sewing Fairies

Hahah..... I must've been visited by the Sewing Fairies these days because I just can't stop sewing.  See what I mean....

Project:       Marina's Shorts

Details:       Using leftovers Baju Kurung fabrics.  Super soft, 
                     bright coloured and suitable for warm weather.
                     Inspired by the Baroque Period.
The Vote:    Marina loved the shorts but said that it was a bit
                     short for her to wear outside.  She's a modest
                     mom heheh..  ^_^

Project:       Brenda's Grey Dress
Details:       A friend gave the dress to her but it was way
                     too big.  Funny dress because there was no 
                     zipper or buttons on it.  Hmm.. wonder how did
                     the wearer put it on?  I altered the dress to a 
                     more updated look with bit showy zipper
                     out front.  
The Vote:    She loved it.  It's more comfortable and easy to
                     wear.  But she wore the dress with zipper at 
                     back.  So old fashioned of her hehe.. ^ ^

Project:       Brenda's daughter, Girlie dress for outings and 
                     going to church.
Details:       Girlie is only 14 years old and was given some 
                     money to buy fabrics to make a dress.  She 
                     ended up buying just 1 meter of the polkadot 
                     fabric material  which was not enough to make 
                     a dress.  Fortunately I saw a designer style days
                     before in a website somewhere that I've wanted 
                     to make and thought that the polkadot fabric 
                     would be perfect for the skirt part.  For the top 
                     part, I bought a white fabric cool touch fabric 
                     which I really like that I also bought                     
                     black colour to make my pants.  
The Vote:   Brenda informed me that her daughter was 
                     thrilled to see the dress and it fitted perfectly.

Project:      Marina's work pants.  
Details:       Marina handed me 4 meters of black fabric that 
                     she'd kept for a long time and asked me to make 
                     her a pair of pants.  Eventhough this was my 4th
                     pair of pants that I made, I was still struggling 
                     during the process of making it.  Reason is 
                     because of the long duration from the last one 
                     made to the present one and I sort of trying to 
                     remember the steps with much difficulty.
                     Important notes to remember:  1)  It is easier to 
                     make a pattern out of the customer's current 
                     pants that she/he is comfortable with.  2) If you 
                     have to make patterns, pay attention to the 
                     crotch area.  Remember to measure the 
                     customer's thigh.  3) Pay attention to what 
                     the fabric material you're using e.g. whether 
                     fitted/tappered pants are suitable or not.
The Vote:   I haven't yet given it to Marina.  Hehe.. to be 
                     advised :P
