Hey lovelies,

I know that today's post title is a mouthful lol but I want to share my latest project and what I have been up to and learning so far.

For this project I have been learning various things like dart placements, bodice lengths, constructing facings for the bodice, applying seam allowances and the list goes on. But overall I think I'm getting much better at measurements although the Lutterloh system would make life so much easier (see previous post for explanation).

The patchwork baby doll boat neck dress!

As you guys know, I adore patchwork but this time around instead of using denim I used different fabrics from old projects that I didn't fancy anymore. And even though patchwork is time-consuming I generally love the end result. And this is all good practice for the more expensive fabrics anyways.

Check it out. :)

Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed this post
Until next time
XOXO

Hey lovelies,

Hope you had a great weekend :)

Today I would like to share with you my first attemp at shorts using the famous German Lutterloh System.

I have attempted to make shorts before but the results were not nearly as good or easy as this system.

I recently attended a free pattern making class where the instructor showed us the easy way to make custom made patterns with only TWO! Yes TWO!! Measurements.
The bust and the hips.

With the lesson the instructor gave us three free patterns( a blouse, a blazer and the shorts) I thought that that was so amazingly fascinating I had to try it for myself and this was the result.

You should note that since this was a first attempt that I used some left over fabric for the back of the shorts. And I opted to fold the bottom a little because I preferred it shorter than the pattern.

Now given that it is my first time using this system I made some mistakes. But I learn by doing and ive made notes on where I went wrong and how I can make it better.

But I am definitely interested in purchasing this system. Even though it is a little pricey I would definitely invest in this system when I can afford it.
(For more info on the system check out the site http://www.lutterloh-system.com/ )

Well I hope you enjoyed this post .
Until next time

Happy Friday Lovelies!

So I've been doing some of cleaning especially in the clothing department, and I found several shirts that I didn't really like anymore (as shirts). So being the thrifty person that I am I turned them into skirts.

And I went a little skirt crazy.

Now they may not be party or special event worthy. But I figured that they would be cute enough to go shopping in, or over to a friends or just to wear at home. Whatever the case, I have new skirts!

I wanted to show you guys how I would dress them up.

Shirt #1

This skirt has a little gold accent that I love, so I decided to add my old/vintage belt (I've had it for eons and decided to resurrect it), some gold earrings and of course denim.

Shirt #2

If you didn't notice, I added the sleeves to the bottom and since they weren't wide enough I made a horizontal slit on both sides.

Shirt #3

Here I chose three different casual looks for the one skirt.

The skirt below was previously a dress that I altered, so I thought I would still share. It was a cute print.

Hope you have a safe and fabolous weekend!
XOXO
Kei!
