HOW TO MAKE AN OFF THE SHOULDER DRESS

DIY off the shoulder dress
Hello, my fellow sewing babes! Do you love the off-shoulder neckline? You know I am and to continue my addiction, I'm back with another off the shoulder dress sewing tutorial that I made with this beautiful polka dot fabric. Loving the print so much, but I would not recommend using polyester fabric though when making this dress, but since I'm still kind of on a mission of not buying fabric, I just went for it. If you're interested, you can get the polka dot dress pattern right here.

DIY OFF THE SHOULDER TOP WITH BUCKLE


DIY off the shoulder crop top with puffy sleeves
Hi there! It's been a while I've posted something on this blog, but there is a new video live on Youtube! You can watch the sewing tutorial right here. The pattern reference is without seam allowance and if you're a size 34, you can simply take over the measurements; otherwise, you can use it as a ref. The dashed line is where I've sewed the elastic band on the sleeve.

QUICK SEWING UPDATE

diy wrap skirt handmade

This week I made two garments! An off the shoulder dress and a wrap skirt. The plan was to upload two videos this week but my arm got in the way again. My arm does feel a lot better now but I give it an extra day to rest and hopefully tomorrow I will be able to edit, then I can upload the off the shoulder dress tutorial. The pattern is already available here at Etsy. Next week or the week after you can except two videos to make it up for the one week I missed an upload.

It's the month of May already it is almost summer! The beginning of the year I said I wanted to make lots of dresses for the summer and that is what I'm going to try to do for this month. The challenge is to make six dresses. It is very ambitious of me, but if I try my best and cheat with some clothing transformations, I should be able to make it. Do you have a sewing challenge for this month?

DIY SEWING MACHINE COVER + SEWING PATTERN

diy sewing machine cover

Hello my fellow sewing babes, I finally made my own sewing machine cover for my sewing machine! Although this fabric has some stretch in it I've been able to pull it off. It took me 5 years to make one...  I don't know why I waited so long and even though both of my sewing machines survived all the dust for the last 5 years. A dust cover does not only protect your machine from dust but it also spices up your room and the fabric is perfect for this season....and

HOW TO DRAW BETTER IN 2019

how to draw better in 2019
Here is my first drawing of the year! I'm not al to happy how it came out, but it looks decent. I wish I gave the legging a grey color instant of black. The idea behind it was black on black outfit, but it doesn't look right to me. An attempt to save the drawing was to go over with a purple promarker and a white pencil,  which didn't worked out unfortunately. This is also the first in a long time I drew an actual face with eyes and eyebrows.
