Butterfly Dress

This is my 100th post.. yeayyyy… can’t believe I wrote that many. I made this dress specially to be posted today as my last post in the year 2014, my last DIY project this year, and my 100th post. One of my goals is to reach 100 posts by the end of 2014, and I am happy that it’s accomplished. Year 2014 has been a fantastic year to me, hope next year will bring even more joys and blessings … and I am hoping the same to you!

Why butterfly dress? because it’s made for next summer dress, because the lace around the shoulder and sides looks like butterfly to me, and because soon my little baby is hitting new milestone her 2nd birthday when she is officially becoming toddler.. just like caterpillar transforming to butterfly 🙂

Birdies Duo Tops and Hat

Published on December 24, 2014 by sweetsourmomentsLeave a comment

This duo tops sewing project was started first with sewing the reversible hat. The hat pattern is from Oliver S free pattern… This was the first time I used ready pattern instead of the one drafted by myself. When the hat was finished came the idea of making tops that incorporate both fabric so that they can be worn with the hat. So here they are, Birdies Duo Tops plus Hat. This was also my first time making top, the clothing projects I made for my little one prior to this were dresses.

It started with this hat.

The duo tops. One is in birdies print fabric and the other one is in polkadot with bird applique to tie the theme.

Here come the best part, my little darling wearing mommy’s made.

Cosmetic Pouch- DIY crochet & sewing

Published on November 25, 2014 by sweetsourmoments2 Comments

I made this crochet after seeing Martha Stewart project, crocheting pencil case… I have done sewing pencil cases but never with crochet, so I like this idea very much., only this time I made it for cosmetic pouch. The inspiration for the houses applique is from the oldtown Tallin, Estonia, I visited last september… Such a charming historical site. I also added the picture of the oldtown below, so let me know what do you think … Can you see the houses there in my applique? 🙂

Hope this brings you inspiration too !

Peach Tulle Dress

Published on November 24, 2014 by sweetsourmoments1 Comment

The 2 last months of the year is the best time for nice party dress, there are many occasions where one can wear pretty dresses… Start with thanksgiving, then christmas, and new year. This also is the best time for making tulle dress for my little one. First time sewing tulle dress, it actually is not as hard as I thought.. Don’t let the texture and the look of it intimidating you, it is manageable.

Believe it or not, I only spent less than 5 bucks for this dress and still got plenty fabric left. I name this dress Peach Tulle Dress, my little one wear it on thanksgiving day. It’s big enough to fit her until next summer I think 🙂

Hope it inspires you! Happy thanksgiving!
