Polka Dot Mini

I have alot of time to sew now, and I really want to use up my fabric pile so I have an excuse to buy more fabric! Tshirt; gifted and revamped, Bow Necklace; gifted, Skirt; Handmade I cut the neck and sleeves and then simple used bias binding to finish instead of hemming. I hope he doesn't mind I cut up his gift.... Detail shots
I made a skirt aswell, with new block pattern I drafted. I haven't drafted a skirt pattern in a while so it was a shock to find out there is a around 11-12 inch difference between my waist and my hips, which I thought was quite a big difference but apparently I'm healthy and fertile according to my waist to hip ratio, which you can find out here. blurry arms!
I used an open end zip and cut the fabric on the bias so it was stretchy, although I forget I suck with stretchy fabric so my zip doesn't sit right and I have to lift up my skirt when I sit down so it doesn't look like I have a penis.... The scooped back shows my excema, which has worsened, but oh well if people don't like it they don't have to look. I shouldn't feel ashamed because of my scars and skin condition.

What's your waist to hip ratio?
mine is 0.71 ♪ Music; Arashi - Morning Light

I was trying for so long click 'Post a comment' but I couldn't, something went wrong, but I finally did it! Yeah!
Jesus, I love this T-shirt, really crazy about it and the T-skirt, so wow! Currently I'm doing a shirt too inspired by Key from SHINee (This one which He wore in Paris).

Love the polka dots!!!


ps. I totally know what you mean about yoga ... a class really is necessary for me to. I mean, I know that I could practice at home but I just don't. How funny ... I take my classes through our local community center too! {just can beat the prices}

12 July 2011 at 17:50

12 July 2011 at 17:54 
Oh wow! You did a good job with the shirt & skirt ♥♥♥ wish I could sew!!

Alright...I'll take a look at that waist to hip ratio thing xD One second...
So my waist to hip ratio is 0.69 xD pretty close to yours

12 July 2011 at 18:15 
the polka dot skirt is so cute and you made the tshirt look more feminine! :)

12 July 2011 at 18:32 
Great works, in particular the t-shirt!!! Uhm I really hate when zippers look like penis...it always happens with long sweaters -.-
I don't wanna know my hip ratio, I really have a big difference between hips and waist ^^'
Your back is ok, don't worry!

12 July 2011 at 18:33

was here...you look great in your dress.
beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. you don't have to care how you look like bcoz it's the inside that matters.

13 July 2011 at 01:25 
but sad to say that people these days looks at your appearance before they realize how bad you are :(
so sometimes i also needa sacrifice myself for some new clothes.

13 July 2011 at 01:27 
Ahhh the t-shirt recon turned out super cute! <3 I think I'll have to try that bias tape trick...

13 July 2011 at 01:31 
Wow you really made the shirt look so much better! My hip ratio is not but not good either, I wonder if its my hips are too small or my waist is too big :/ haha!

13 July 2011 at 03:20 You're so crafty and I LOVE IT. your blog makes me want to DIY more. You look really fabulous. I love the polka dots - they're so adorable.

gaah i love that outfit!! i hope i can find something similar here!! D:

13 July 2011 at 20:08 
Very nice that you actually shared your findings on your hipVSwaist ratio with us. Shows you have self respecct. Also taking a shirt and making it your own style is so cool! I usually just go with the stock shirt pattern. haha. And lastly I'm glad your going to fix the skirt to avoid penis confusion.

13 July 2011 at 22:41 
wow you really made the shirt look wayyy cuter!!!!
Bias binding is so interesting :3 I learned something new :3
haha I stopped buying clothes that have long zippers in the front because I have that same problem!! >< I hate it when it does that!! >< so embarrassing haha :P

14 July 2011 at 12:35 
oh,,i really like your skirt

16 July 2011 at 16:30 
where/when/how did you learn to draft your own pattern!?!???! you're so smart!!!
