purple top. =)

hye! thanx guys for the comments. really appreciate it .

That's adorable! Great job. I think the sleeves look pretty good, but the bolero really sets if off, so you're good both ways! Did you use a pattern?

no, but i was just browsing the internet last week, n found this, it's from forever21 i guess.. i wanna make something like this..



but.. it turns out 2 b a lil' bit different..
i use this pic as a guideline n i just dig as im working on it.
but i really dont have any idea how to make that puffy puffy bottom. huhu.

looks great, love the style and the colour.  i don't think the sleeves look sloppy but i liked it better without them, puffy sleeves would have looked awesome but they are a pain in the ass to do! 

yeah.. that's y i cancelled the puffy sleeves. i gave up. 

I honestly liked it better before sleeves, but that's just me...

Also, is that bolero a fuzzy knit? did it have a little ribbon that used to go under the bust? and a little fuzzy yarn covered button? Because if it is, then I have that exact one in a really pale blue color, and I adore it, and I'm jealous that you have it in pink

lafemmedramatique, the answers are all yes, except it doesnt have ribbon under the bust. yup, pink is always lovely. 



and, as i look back at this purple top, yeah, i think it looks better withour the sleeves.
hehe. i should just unstitch the sleeves.

it would still look real nice without the sleeves, under a bolero.  and probably more comfortable.

dont change anything!

Hey, another Malaysian, heehee! Great job Farhana, eventhough I've been sewing and making crafts, I've never ventured into the world of making clothes from scratch. ^^; Clothes scare me.

I agree that it looks better without the sleeves. I think the sleeves make it look a bit kiddy. Cute, but slightly childish. Colour is awesome! What kind of fabric is it?

i made lining for piece A, so if u want too, u need 2 pieces of A. me myself dont even know y i made lining for piece A. LOLs.




ok, length of C = length of A + length of B




looks pretty easy right? yup, for the experts, of course it's easy! but for a beginner like me.. haha.

n sorry if the pics kinda blurry. i dont have a scanner. so i just take their pics.
i didnt make tutorial for the sleeves, coz me myself finding a hard time doing it.
so, i dont know how to explain it. sorry.
