autumn cleaning & new ad soon~

Been clearing up my wardrobe for clothes I don't wear anymore and stuff. It's one of my wardrobe resolution this year. At the end of the day I got a whole bagful, fukubukuro-size of clothes to be donated away.

 
altering my clothes~!
 
Some of the clothes I'm currently amending. I got the white dress a tire shorter so now it's nicely fun-sized. Like me ٩( ̄ε ̄ )۶ Hahahahahaha.

Currently working on altering the black dress with white polka dots shorter into a tank top and my stripped, cropped top so that's it's a size smaller since I actually got it in 'L' size. Couldn't finish them because I seem to have misplaced all my other bobbins... So that's why you can see all the pins still sticking there. LOL

~♥~


Anyway, my birthday's coming soon! Ok, my brother and mine'sヾ(@^▽^@)ノ weeheee~~ Too bad he's not around to celebrate (,T_O,)

Speaking of gifts, I'm actually in the middle of making plans with for a new ad on my blog and I've got discount coupons/codes to share with my readers, especially overseas readers.

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you might have heard me mentioned a couple of times about ViVi Malaysia and Ray Malaysia/Singapore Edition magazines, both in English version. So in a couple of days_on my birthday_I'll share with you an awesome site where you can get these magazines online and better still, you can get your copies at a discounted rate.

That's all for now~ Can't say much about the promo yet 'cuz I'm still working on it. Last minute discussion and finalizing (,TvT,)

Do stay tune for it, ok~ ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ

Summer obsession: Sewing

Yessie. Sewing! I got myself a tutor to teach me fashion design during summer right after my last semester in uni. Weeheeee~ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ I've actually started at the end of my first sem but my tutor and I decided to postpone the classes until summer.

And for 2 months, I was doing fashion design crash course for 2 days a week and took up a part time that allows me to work only 3 days a week and spent my weekends doing my assignments.

So, I was taught mostly the basic stuff_drawing, sewing, putting the pieces together, etc. which was kinda nice. I got to make dresses, blouses and a pair of shorts plus a skirt that didn't quite pull off. It looked more like a lamp cover. fml. And during the last few classes, I get to play around with different designs using the mannequin. See what I made in my last assignment ,(^v^)v

Draping exam though my tutor helped me a lot (,>.<,)

My project this week♡♡ Was putting the pieces together yesterday evening.

Amended it a lil' bit more last night before I went to bed~

 
after a lil' more adjustment

Scribbled on it. LOLOL. And I'm a lil' impatient to style already so I added a belt there. WTH. Will try to finish the prototype later so I can start working on the real thing and then some other designs (^v^/)
