I made this scarf as a Christmas present. It didn’t take me long to sew it and I’m pretty happy with it. It has a lot less mistakes than my last project.
I’m going to make another one for myself to keep.

I made the skirt of this outfit. It took me forever to make this skirt due to unrealistic expectations and finding time to sew. Originally, this was supposed to be a 2-piece outfit. It was going to have a matching crop top and a skirt. I started working on the top, and I quickly realized I do not have the skill/experience to finish this. I was never really taught to sew. I’m learning to sew from YouTube videos and Tumblr. I was disappointed that I could not finish my vision for this fabric. I stopped sewing the top, and I adjusted my vision for this project to my experience level. I’m really happy and proud of myself with the outcome of this skirt.
There are so many beginner mistakes that I made like taking into account how long this project will take, having correct measurements, sewing correctly, having the inside/outside of the fabric match, being patient, the type of fabric I need, and how to sew accordingly to the type of fabric. So many mistakes.
My problem was that I thought I could just sit at a sewing machine and whip something beautiful in 2.2 seconds. I learned that sewing is going to take time and I can’t have high expectations for myself especially since I don’t have the skills yet. However, I really enjoyed sewing. I’m currently looking for another inspiration. I might go back and correct my mistakes or I’ll leave this skirt as it is, as memory of my first sewing project.

Hello there! In the spirit of all that is pink and red, inspired by Galentine & Valentine’s Day, these patterns have just been listed into the shoppe!!

Pattern: McCall’s M7896 view 2+4+6
Fabric: Metallic Silk Chiffon overlay, Silk Gazar underlay. Silk charmeuse lining.
Modification: Skirt lengthen to reach just below knee.
Notes: The difficulty of this project depends largely on your fabric choice and how comfortable you are with gathering. Silk chiffon is not easy to work with but since it’s mostly used as a gathered overlay here, there are some room for errors. Silk gazar works great as the underlining because of the added volume. I think the chiffon + gazar combo might be my new favorite for cocktail wear.
The two side seams call for boning and I would recommend not skipping this step. It’s really changes the structure of the dress.
Overall not a terribly difficult pattern and it’s worth the effort putting this together.
Possibly Improvement: None really. The fit is quite good for me without any modification. But do check the fit of the bodice often as you go since it is quite a revealing dress.
Pattern: New Look 6594. View C in length of View A.
Fabric: Liberty London silk crepe de chine in Elysian Blue prints. Lining: silk crepe de chine
Modification: Added lining to bodice and skirt. Remove skirt front pleats stitching.
Notes: Overall an easy dress to make. Note that the skirt front consists of 3 different pieces with a hard pleat on one side which is not that obvious from the pattern stock photo or technical drawing. Not every single steps are illustrated and some of the instructions are quite vague. This pattern is best suited for sewist with some amount of experience.
Possible Improvement: Make flutter sleeves fuller and longer. Move zipper to back and add pockets.
