This is it!!  The fruit of my labor!!  I had to readjust the armhole a bit cos it's about 1/2" too big!!  It's not as neat as how I would like it to be though!  The fabric is soft and tend to fray easily so I had to be more careful that I don't pull at it too much.  I still think I should have used 100% cotton fabric!!  Will this be the first and last???  hahahhahaahaaa  We'll see.....

I don't know whether this is the right way to do it.  It may not be the proper steps in dressmaking but the way I looked at it...it's turning out looking like a blouse...whether it will fit me or not is another matter!!!  LOL

A Sleeveless Blouse....

I never thought I would do this!!!  My cousin, Michelle, sent me the pattern and as I have no know how of making a blouse, I had to go through some Youtube videos for help!!    I can't help but felt that I should have used 100% cotton fabric to make this blouse.  That would have been a better choice.  This fabric is a bit hard to handle.  But I had already cut out the pattern so let's see how it goes....

The last big quilt for the year!!!  Made this quilt with my favourite colours!  I spoilt the original quilt meant for Lyn so had to replace with this one!!  I hope she likes the quilt.    Christmas is just around the corner.  A whole year has gone by so quickly!!!  Looking forward to the coming year cos I told myself I must quilt those UFOs in the cupboard!

I tried to get this done as fast as possible but it still took almost a month to quilt!!  I don't know where all the time went!!!  The quilting is done along the seams and feathers on the border.  But I have to admit I didn't spend all my time on this.. I was playing with the Brother 4500D!!!  LOL  Will do the binding later and I think this will be the last quilt for this year!!

T-shirt embroidery

Made these t-shirts for a friend's 50th birthday.   My first thought was just to make the t-shirts for the guys but I ended making for the ladies as well.  I went on the internet and bought these designs.  Although the timing says 23 mins to sew the design, I think it took more than that because the thread tend to break more than once!!!  I had to prewash all the t-shirts before sewing.  The website from which I bought the designs also give tips on how to sew embroidery on t-shirts and towels!!!  There's so much to learn!!!!

  

Lynda's quilt

Pin basting the next quilt for machine quilting.  I almost finish a quilt for her but if you remember a while back I had a major incident with water leaking through the ceiling.  That quilt was soaked and some of the red colour ran on the white fabric.  I couldn't possibly give her that quilt so I decided to replace it with this one!!!
It's a log cabin quilt and I made this some time back.  It was in the cupboard among all the other UFOS!!  This quilt was already basted with thread but I ripped out the thread and removed the old batting.  I replaced the batting with a thinner batting so that it will be easier for me to machine quilt.
