Sell it or not...

So basically I have decided to sell the trouser that I made in college because I fell like it's just a waste not to do anything with them. I have been debating for a long time whether to sell it or not but I have come to a decision of selling them if anyone is interested or if anyone wants me to custom make them one in other colour or fabrics.

Here are the trousers that I want to sell.

It's size 8/10 trouser.

High waisted with lowered crotch and pockets, it has cuffed ankle detail.

White and orange cotton along with lace pocket detail.

Price: £130 minimum £100

If anyone is interested contact me on my email fashionista1407@gmail.com or comment on this post so that I can make arrangements with you.

LONDON-er...

Hi everyone!! it's been a very long time since I've posted something on my blog. Well, I've been very busy with my university (moving in and settling) and I just have no time to post something on my blog. I hope you all had an amazing summer holidays because I have!! ^_^

I have recently started university life as a student and will continue on for the next 3 years of my life. It was very hard to move away from my family and friends to such a huge and well know city, London, but I am finally slowly settling in with my new student life and environment. I have finally made new friends in university (in my course and my flat mates) and I am doing fine with socialising with them as some of my friends might know that I'm very shy around new faces. ^_^

Here's what I have been up to lately;

That's all for now I'll update again next time xx ^_^

Day 3 in Belgium

Yesterday we went to Paris to sight see and shop around. As we are staying at my dad friend in Belgium (which is only 2-3 hours away from paris by car) they decided to rent a van and drive to paris. Here are some photos that I took from my iPhone (I can only use my iPhone to upland cos I didn't bring my laptop).

(We were so happy to see Starbucks after hours of walking non-stop from Champ Elysees to Notre Damn)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 1&2 in Belgium

Long Time No Post.....

Hi everyone! It's been more than a month since I've posted something on my blog. How is everyone doing? Hope your all enjoying your summer holidays. And oh not forgetting hope your all enjoying the London Olympics. I know I am. 

Since I've finished college I haven't been posting anything mainly because I have been busy preparing for university stuff and I also wanted to rest after all of the busy times when I was making/sewing my final collection. I know that I'll be very busy during next month because of university stuff as well as spending last few weeks with my family before I move to London, so I dont think I'll be posting anything very often. And also I'll be going on holiday abroad (yes!! finally my very first holiday abraod since I moved over here) so I think I'll be doing updates or photos from my holiday so stay tuned for that.

My final collection.

This isn't a very long nor important post but I just wanted to let you guys what I've/I'll be doing over the summer holidays. I hope you enjoy your summer holidays and the Olympic games too. Which country do you support comment below because I'd love to know ^_^ TeamGB TeamPH TeamSKorea TeamChina TeamUSA

Michiko coat manufacturing in final fabric.

Here's how I've manufactured the Michiko coat in my final fabric.

• I first cut out all of the patterns in my final fabric and overlock the raw edges.

• I then start with back pattern pieces first. I sew the back side panel to the centre back panel with 1.5cm seam allowance. Then I knotch the curve seams and pressed it open.

• I do the same on the other side of the back panel pieces.
• Then I sew down the centre back with 1.5cm seam allowance and pressed the seams open.

 I also had to make sure the curve seam match perfectly

•  Then I move onto the front panels of the michiko coat.

• I sew the front side panel and the centre front panel together with 1.5cm seam allowance. Then I knotch and press the seam open.

• Then I do the same for the other side.
• I then sew the side seams together with 1.5cm seam allowance. I press the seams open.

• I did the same on the other side.
• Then I sew the shoulder seams together with 1.5cm seam allowance. And the press the seams open.

• I then do the same on the other side.
• I then made up the sleeves but before I sew the sleeves together I have to sew the zip vent first.
• Then I sew the sleeve to the arm hole with 1.5cm seam allowance. I kotch and pressed the seams open.

• I did the same on the other side.
• Then i finished the edge of the sleeves by sewing a bias binding. I did the same on the other side.
