*this is my first bilingual post.
As Chinese New Year is approaching, I had planned to make some CNY dresses for baby C and myself, save me from shopping frenzy at the overly crowded malls and besides, I have lots of fabrics that I wanted to explore. :)
I was thinking to make cheongsam at first, but after some researching I dropped that idea, I couldn't decide on a design that is suitable for a sewing newbie like me and besides, grandma had bought baby C a few cheongsam so no point making extra. Must why hold that thought till next year :)
So, I made these instead. Spring blossom blouse for both mommy and my Mini-Me.
Baby C's top has a butterfly sleeve top with an opening in the front. I added a tiny ribbon to compliment the feminine look.
The back of the blouse.
Mommy has a top with elastic waist band, as the fabric is rather flowery I thought I should keep to a simple design.
A close up on the fabric.I just love the spring blossom print on this fabric... Such a sweet color combination. Set me into the right mood for this festive season
I refer to this site on tutorial to make the ruffled butterfly sleeves. I didn't use the pattern thou, just used an existing top as reference.
So look forward to wear this blouse with my Mini-Me. Hmm.. Perhaps I shall make her a matching hair clip to complete the look. Until then, ciao!
新年的步伐越来越近了，是时候筹备新年装饰和置新衣。我原本打算为妹妹和自己各做一套旗袍来应节，但一来因为我这菜鸟的功夫实在有限，二来妹妹的嬷嬷已为她买了两套小孩旗袍，所以最后我还是决定另作一款母女装设计来的好。
这一套PH妈妈和迷你我诞生啦，还不错吧？ （自夸，嘿嘿）
妹妹的上衣有对小蝴蝶衣袖，再加个小小蝴蝶结，希望让她看起来像只可爱小蝴蝶在人群中飞舞。 时间允许的话我会做一个发夹来配搭，那将会是景上添花吧？
妈妈的上衣就简单得多，反正这布身已经那么多姿彩，不需太多的装饰。
我很喜欢这匹布的颜色和设计，配搭的真美，我为它起名 ＂锦绣花开布＂，正好衬托这个春节的喜洋洋气氛。
有兴趣尝试自己当裁缝的，可以参考这个网页，有详细的图片教程。
这是我第一次写中英对照的部落客，可能因为这和农历新年有关，总觉得用中文来写这篇文章比较贴切。
预祝各位新年快乐，快快大扫除办年货去吧！
