It is almost spring break for school kids here in Japan (and many other kids all over the world.. except for Malaysia..) which means new school terms in less than 2 weeks away. Sofea will be starting primary 3 in April.
It is time to reorganise her wardrobe and bring out the spring fashion line.. ehem.. more like clothes from boxes in our home.. And this is the time I realise how she has grown an inch or two and her old clothes, still good have all shrunk *sigh*
So, during the 3 day weekend recently, I managed to get a refashion project done for her.
Project 1 - Adding length to skirt
2.I also cut heart shapes from the same shirt and applique them on the skirt - I need lots of practice on applique-ing with knit as it reacts differently than cotton. Any tips on how to get a perfect finish when you applique with knit?
3.Pin the strip to the skirt and sew.

I think you should use starch fabric to make the material hard/stiff like a paper. knit is expandable/elastic that will challenge your patience.. or you may place a paper or newspaper unde the love shape and sew it together ??
Eh you jahit "My Botang" ke kat skirt tu ? I thought its a watermark !!! hahaha how silly of me
:-P

Fit.. ooohh I see.. will try the technique next time.. thank you dearie..
Ann - hhmmm it is a watermark.. I don't think Sofea will wear a skirt with a big MyBotanG on it.. hehehe
