Hobby without company can be boring at times, and I have been longing to be part of sewing club and meet sewistas... First step to that would be joining an online club and when I saw this Bag of the month club https://www.facebook.com/groups/649141071864918/?fref=nf, I jumped at the opportunity.This club functions for 6 months jan - June and each month a new pattern is released by talented

Somedays inspite of hours of digging through your stash of fabrics, staring at your laptop screen googling for inspiration , scratching your head..you seem to run out of ideas and just when you are about to throw in the towel , viola you finally do get an idea to create something ...  In Spite of having to unpick seams of non forgiving pu leather fabric, and just about scrape through

Made matching skirts for Adithi and Me. We love wearing matchy outfits and flaunting our matchy accessories. Just the thrill that we both are wearing alike keeps us motivated to wear matchy match . Not sure though, how long this will continue , with Adithi growing up, I am not sure if she would like to be seen wearing outfits which matches with her mom's... That is for future, now lets enjoy the

These two months had been quite a remarkable time to say the least. Month of December , meant vacation and i had dreamt of concentrating on having own online site and it would mean having a sample line of collection. Lot of designs in mind,

Adithi's Birthday is the special event of the year for us and we plan for it a couple of months ahead. Making the dress has been one of the important things to be planned and executed as it takes lot of time. Last year we had relocated just a month before Adithi's birthday and i missed out on making a dress for her and wanted to make up for this year and hence roped her in the

Stumbled upon Mode-Sty''s latest fb post calling for Independent designers and decided to jump into the fray. Have provided my website address to their submission form. To make the process easy for the selection panel, decided to make post containing some of the modest outfits i have designed and created in the past. I would love to grab this opportunity and be part of them coveted designer team

Adithi's outfit was the last to be made in the series of Deepavali outfits!. Unusual as i usually sew up her outfit first, but since i had made the elaborate Birthday dress and then the pirate costume, had to give a break to sewing her outfit so that i can come back with fresh ideas Made the skirt part quite easily as the design was just the same i had used in previous ghaghra choli which she

I have already been immersed with sewing the grand birthday dress inspired by Princess Aurora , for the past 3 weeks or so. So it felt like huge accomplishment and to much relief that the dress was complete. Now I can look forward to Deepavali sewing, but no... My little princess loves springing surprise outfit requests out of the blue ! She had a Halloween parade at school and wanted

The moment I saw the Fb post of Fabric Fanatics, stating availability of Children at  Play collection fabric feature Child Parade , I had to get it ! The very same weekend I went to their shop in Summit USJ , actually to get colourful canvas fabrics to make wardrobe organisers (a detailed post on making of the organizer is coming up soon ...) and after the canvas material was done with,

Remember, the Mehindi dress I made in May... 3 months have flown by already ... Phew ! I made a mistake of cutting the center back skirt portion of it on fold and hence had to discarding as it had zipper opening in the dress... So what do I do with that skirt piece, decided to keep it in my stash and make a skirt for self after some time and there it was all but lost in my memory stash !

Had cut this pattern (self drafted) sometime in May and lost track of it. Found it in stash and sewed it up to make Day 1 of KCW - Kids Clothing Week July 2013 count ! Basically extended the shorts pattern drafted earlier which was used underneath the Skort . Hem has opening through which the fabric ties are passed through , I didn't feel like using elastic at the hemline hence

Self-Love promise that i had made has been a blessing. My wardrobe is showing improvements. The latest addition is the skirt which was made under 2 hours, simple A-Line maxt skirt, the fabric has pre-folds and stretches , making it easier to draft with leeway for minor adjustments :) Tieup bow belt at the front was last minute addition I had got this skirt fabric ages back along with the

Two colors catch my fancy these days, they are white and red. Whenever I wear any of these I feel more confident, at peace and happier . I don't know the logic behind it, but love every bit of that feeling  :) Adithi has been attending money management classes for kids, once a fortnight! Yes it's going to be a month since we enrolled her and now she is realising that money doesn't grow

Dear Readers, It was time for yet another competition @ Adithi's school, last month it was dance, the month before elocution, and what was it the month before, anyways, time to move on :) Since I was having a stiff shoulder and had taken a break from swimming , I wanted to relax and not do any heavy duty sewing or craft, so decided to go for Grapes costume, thinking it will be for

Immediately after i had finished the Mehendi Dress , i had to sew a new Ghaghra Choli for Adithi for Dance Competition in her school. She wanted a new dress fit for the occassion and since i had promised her, i had to somehow manage to sew it in one single day! I thought the Mehendi dress could be completed in 3 days max, but it stretched to 4 days, so i had lost out on one day, so somehow

She also sent me a image (below) of a salwar kameez with a golden and bronze hemline, she wanted a similar hemline! Luckily i had bought tissue fabric in gold,

Made this one about a fortnight back, the photoshoot got delayed as Adithi didn't feel like wearing it for any of the recent outings, she is so picky and choosy about how she gets dressed up these days !
