Princess' pre-school uniform

I sewn this in 2007 when Princess first went to pre-school. I found the pattern easy hence thought of sewing it but to my dismay, the sailor collar was really difficult! It was much cheaper though compared to buying it :-)

 

I had just started my Intermediate then so good timing... I mean it's time for a difficult pattern to sew rather than the easy ones during Beginner's stage ;-)

Princess' dress

I finally dare to sew a dress for my Princess, using the same material as my sleeveless dress. Princess was about 2 years old when I sew this. Honestly, not easy to sew as it's small, very challenging. Furthermore with Peter Pan's collar and puffy sleeves, took me longer to complete it. No wonder children's clothes cost much more!

Sleeveless dress

This next pattern is one of the easiest to sew, a sleeveless dress, with roundish/ square neck and loose waist. Even though the material was soft, it’s easy to sew as it’s just plain simple, with a little princess cut.It's also comfortable to wear :-)

Long sleeve shirt

For my next pattern, I regretted getting this material to make a long sleeve shirt. I can’t remember what type it was but it’s damn soft and not easy to sew. It really tested my patience while sewing it ;-) It’s nice on the skin though. Sewing a shirt is no easy task. A lot of steps to remember, especially the collar and cuffs. This one is with princess cut for a feminine touch but I just couldn’t get the ends right due to the material. Hence you can see the unevenness of the ends. The best material to sew a shirt is still cotton… trust me ;-)

Sleeveless blouse

 

Next pattern I did was a sleeveless blouse. I chose this pattern as it was unique, with princess cut, square neckline and petal like edge, from one of the sewing magazines Madam Pang had. I had drawn the block wrongly actually for the back piece hence you can see the back is longer than the front ;-) When I wear it, it wasn’t noticeable though, phew!
