 as always, last minute na naman si mami. 

i procrastinated until i was pressured to come up with something.

no, it's dadi's fault pala. he said he will look for a nice costume sa quiapo

but he got busy with something and forgot all about the costume.

heniways, while reviewing LilSis for her second quarterly exams,

i was cutting, pinning, sewing, and fitting in between.

m a t e r i a l s

cream cloth (excess curtain fabric)

yellow cloth (pre-cut from my stash -courtesy of my favorite cousin - and waiting for me to use it, perfect!)

gold christmas ribbon (for headband, armband, belt. tg i found an extra roll)

double sided tape (for the accessories and for keeping the dress together. i so love this tape!)

BigSis was so happy and can't wait to wear it.
the next day after the program, one mommy texted me...
 "uy, ang ganda ng suot ni ate kahapon!"
- i'm a happy mami :D!

two tops

 finally finished this circle top.

love the fit. so comfy.

still have to embellish it...

 ...with these fabric flowers.

i experimented sewing a kaftan top using a different type of fabric.

the neckline gave me a hard time but was able to pull it off.

lots of ripping... and patience!

so hard to take a pic without ruining the fit.

my favorite cousin lovett. 

i might give it to her.

new post. new year. new hopes.

pink saturday :: hat

nothing much.
just decided to try decorating something with this ribbon.

i took out this pink hat that my sister gave me.
and wrapped the black with pink grosgrain around it
to add some life.

prettier?
