i made this cotton long sleeve dress or a baju kurung moden - a work in progress

i have ventured into long sleeve dresses.  worn with a maxi skirt.  i bought this fabric from a friend.  it is cotton....from india.  it is lightweight and smooth.  love it.

loose fitting.  don't need any zipper or other closure

simple neckline, wide enough to slip the dress over my head

nailed the set in sleeve :)
no shoulder pads

i've been making these cotton sleeveless tops and dresses

these tops and dresses have not been pressed nor ironed prior to the photo shoot.  nonetheless, they still hang pretty well :)

it has been a while since my last post.

just to let you guys know that i am still blogging :)


cheers,
YunY

happy to be back home

the whole family has just come back from seoul.  touched down at 4pm today.  oh, what a great feeling.  it is so good to be back :)

thank you so much darling hubby for this trip :)

will share with you about this trip later.



cheers,
YunY

my thoughts for today

what's the use of having a beautifully made piece of garment if it doesn't fit?

it will stay in the closet forever until you have the heart to throw or give it away.

or if you insist of wearing it, you will not feel or look good in it.

so, what will you do?

our rabbits

culeypatra on 1june2013.
we took this photo the day before we flew to seoul.
look at the cute little foot.

this post however, has got nothing to do with sewing.

our rabbits...yes... rabbits just gave birth.  one gave birth to 5 little rabbits (all survive so far) at midnite (9may2013) and this morning at 8am....the 2nd rabbit gave birth to 4 little ones (but one of them was a still born).  so now we have 8 little rabbits.  plus the parents.....it is 11 altogether.

i learnt somewhere that introverts love cats while extroverts love dogs.  so which group do i belong as i prefer rabbits?


UPDATE: 1 JUNE 2013

our baby rabbits are now 3 weeks old.  from the total of 8, only 4 survive : (

it is hard not to fall in love with them.  here they are.  cute and cuddly : )

the name is elijabet

the name is culeypatra

elijabet n culeypatra.  almost can't tell them apart.
culeypatra's brown patches are lighter....almost pinkish.

this one could be louie or ha ni pun.
can't tell them apart at this angle.

culeypatra and that could be louie or ha ni pun

UPDATE: 8 JUNE 2013

we came back from seoul yesterday.  while we were in seoul, our rabbits were left with a friend.  today we went to fetch them and we found that culeypatra has escaped and was no were to be found.  we feel so sad.  hope you are safe baby...wherever you are.

tomorrow they will be a month old.  my hope is that they stay safe, well and healthy.

alya's sewing project

lisa's favourite cardigan has been stained with fabric softener residue from the washer.  she asked me if i can camouflage the stains with some something nice.  so i asked alya to help me with this project.  she cut out some shapes from her old jeans and arranged them so that they look like petals of flowers.

this would be an interesting project.

cheers,
