PostHeaderIcon WIP DAY 2 : BAJU RAYA 2011 (NECKLINE, POCKETS AND PANTS)

i've came across Life with NeezaNeedle on tips n how to cut n prepare neckline for baju kurung which quite similar for this kind of baju melayu.Really save me from having  headaches esp when  magic happened during neckline and pattern are not coorperative!! ( u know what i meant....)

Also, tips on how to prepare pockets from Aku dan Sulaman which never cross my mind. What i did was i cello-taped around the pattern to the fabric, before ironing... fuh!! i smile to myself whenever i recalled that....

here is the result :
YET TO IRON THE PIECES !!!


However,there's also an alternative ....nowadays there're ready made pockets n collar templates at Koleksi Ain Kasih...however you still need to sew them, though..

Other easy alternative... buy the ready-made baju melayu..LOL.. but you will never feel the feeling of triumphant with extreme joy n satisfaction when d project finally finished.


PANTS / SELUAR CERUT


I LOVE tutorial from MyLife As JulieMom - Pajama Pants because of the detailing (where i do understand where's a head n tail).. but i followed Simple Modern Mom's Tutorial  because it's straight forward explaination.. :D



Later, when i sew the elastic, i probably will follow this You Tube:

Sewing An Elastic Waist Band On Pajama Pants by VanillaJoy1 

since it looks neat n even...

Why 2nd blog?

Established in April 2011 (after a year from existence of my 1st blog). For my personal filing and ease of reference. Also as a place to preserve and a way for my self expression for all my previous learning processes, experiences and the time spent.
