I'm finally back to writing on this blog after being busy for two months, I still sew some small items and mend a few clothes but haven't sewn new clothes.  Until two days before Valentine's arrived, I felt like I had to sew a new blouse to wear to dinner. The blouse had to be in the shade of pink, so I checked my stash and found 2 yards of lace fabric in fuchsia that I don't remember when I bought it. After I had the fabric, I started making the pattern (based on my previous self-drafted blouse pattern) I modified the pattern into a flowy blouse. The pattern was simple, a round neckline, gathered front and back yokes and gathered sleeves with elastic bands. Here is the pattern that I drafted, And after the pattern was done, I cut the fabric as usual. The sewing process was fun and turned out to be easier than I imagined.

 Meg from elsiemarley.com was throwing the challenge called kids weeks clothes challenge fall 2012. I decided to joint in and this pants is one of the project for the challenge. It was very busy week but I tried to put myself to sew at least one hour during 7 days. And I am very happy with my work. The pants fit my son very well.

I used the pattern from burda magazine june 2008, originally is 3/4 pants for kid. The pattern has 6 pockets in total, 2 pieces front pocket, 2 pieces back pocket and 2 pieces side pocket. I added length to the pattern and inserted elastic inside the waistband.
Material for this pants is 1 yard black cotton and using same colour thread.

...the next post will be another project for kcwc fall 2012...
