Not an easy feat but worth it! It was stressful as I bought this silk material in Bangkok. Similar to the Baju Kurung, the skirt was easy as it's straight sewing all the way!
A modern cheong sam which I was skeptical of sewing as this Chinese silk is from China and it's not cheap! I was so worried I could have sewn it wrongly as I have to sew inner lining. Double stress here! Overall it was quite easy as more straight lines here even though with lining. However, the collar is really difficult, the material is soft and it couldn't stand much ;-)
Baju Kurung can be considered 1 of the easiest to sew, especially with cotton fabric! It's a straight line at every edge :-) However, it requires a lot of material. If I remember correctly, this one was 4 metre in total. Majority for the skirt especially the side pleat ;-)
First time sewing long pants, 1 high waist and 1 low waist. It's kinda easy to cut and sew it but the difficult part was to draw the block. If we drew it wrongly, the pants would be uncomfortable and not fitted.
The end result... the beige one is high waist and the purple one is low waist :-)
My next dress was a shirt dress which was kinda easy to sew except for the sleeves and collar. Goodness those were so difficult especially since my cloth was firm and hard. I didn't upload the photo of the dress yet as it's still not ready until today :p
