A partywear

 Assalam-alaikum.

This was one of the dresses that i sew for my daughter. But unfortunately, it didn't go as I had planned. It was the first time that i was tackling with a knit fabric. My earlier ventures (which I would share later), were all with the ever-loving and ever-obeying cotton!
The dress, by the way was a tad too tight and she felt really uncomfortable in it. So, I gave this as a gift to one of my friends' daughter.

I just love bows and ruffles. It just makes everything so girly and lovable, right? And this has both the ruffle and I couldn't resist myself from putting in a bow made by satin ribbon. On the whole, I'm quite happy with how it turned out. But of course, that aside, I wouldn't want to deal with knits for some time now. Maybe another few cotton projects before moving on, In-shaa-Allah!

And my inspiration was all from

Intro

Assalamu-alaikum

Hello

This is the first blog i'm typing and I haven't a clue how to go about it. I've been meaning to do this for quite some time. But, somehow didn't find the right topics to start.

That was until I had this sudden urge to sew clothes. No, I haven't gone to any classes. No, I don't have a seamstress for a mother. And no, I donot want to brag! But, when I told my love, my husband about this. He was quite supportive. He bought me my first sewing machine (Toyota FSR21) two days later. And that was 2 weeks back.

Since then, I've made a dress for my daughter (2 1/2 year old), one for my niece, a neighbor and myself! 

And how did i learn to do all that without going to class?

At home!

In front of my laptop!

With my internet connection!

And there you have! All the classes you need! All the DIYs and tutorials you can ever get from all the most talented peoples in all over the world. 

And then I wanted to BRAG! What better way to do that than blogging, i thought! :))

Don't run away! I promise I wont brag and this blog is just to share my works and projects as it happens! And maybe link back to a few tutorials that inspired me! :) 

Stay tuned! And you guessed it right! I've ran out of fabric to try out new outfits for my doll of a daughter and thus the time to blog!

When I'm not sewing, I'm either cleaning up my home, cooking, or goofing around with my daughter and hubby!
