this past week, i've been so inspired to just be creative.  as my friend put it "crave to be creative!"  and recently, i've been just wanting to sew.  i haven't made any patterns or sew anything for myself or anyone else since i moved to NYC 7 years ago.  main reasons are that all my sewing tools are at my parents house and lack of space.

here are few projects i've been working on.

for a friend's baby shower, i decided to do a personalized gifts.
 sketched the shapes i wanted for the onesies.
since it was only to trace onto fabric, i just used scrap paper. 

 used wonder under... can get this in any fabric store.
this is the thing that will glue my fabric to the onesies


 figure out the placement for the "print"
traced the images onto the fabric
 press...


 final product - i loved how cute it came out.  :)

ok... after i finished these, i decided to make a maxi dress with fabric i bought weeks ago. 


 i even made a sewing pattern using a dress i had bought at urban outfitter few weeks ago. 

didn't really take pics of the process but here's the final product :)  and i love my dress.
 since fabric is 100% polyester (not the most breathable fabric), i decided to make a loose fitting dress.  yes, it will get hot when i wear it during the summer, but it won't be so horrible since it's not fitted dress.
