Mission Accomplished

Done..

At home

At the wedding function

Pocket done (90% done)

Pocket done and ready attached to the body.

Now, to make collar button hole and to attach arm parts onto main body part.

This is close up in making button hole.

Just sharing, I am using button hole function of my 11-years old Singer sewing machine...

and button feet (or foot??).

Collar completed. (65% done)

Take the first part of the collar and put it on a piece of fabric right side on each other. 

Cut it. Take note that the length of the collar should be more or equal to the neck hole.

Now, sew the top of the collar with small stitch. Allow for some space between the edge of the fused fabric and the stitch.

Close up shoot.

Then, cut out. Dont forget to snip the balance edge.

Turn over and press.

Close up shot. Attach to main body by sewing the bottom part to neck hole and continue to stitch the top part until it return to the beginning point of sewing.

Wallaaa...

Here it goes for the critical part. Take five for dzuhr prayer.

Major collar part

Using the template... Make sure not to iron on the glue side... 

After pressing...

Cut out...

Fold the upper part by pressing the fabric onto the fuser. Would be easier if you apply the stick glue thinly at the edge of the fuse fabric before fold and press...

Close up after pressing.

Then sew the folded part...

Collar ( 50 % )

Set aside the pocket. We will come back to it later.

Now, let's do the collar part first.. 

The two collar parts will be attached to body first before focusing on the major collar part after this.

Pocket

Next stage is to cut out two lower pockets and a smaller upper pocket.

Firstly, prepare a 21 X 10 inch rectangular fabrics. 

Then, divide it into 3 sections; 8 inch, 8 inch and 5 inch.

After this, i will need to cut out into 3 pieces and shape them into pocket shape based on the templates.

Work in progress (40%)

Alhamdulillah, even though out of schedule...

Now, move to next stage..

Pressing part is very troublesome, but worth doing..  (Please ignore the photo background ). 🙈🙈🙈

In progress-20% done

Alhamdulillah, managed to cut the fabrics.. Except the pocket and collar part...

So, tonight the target would be to complete the trousers and major part of the baju; to join the arm and side part of the body..

It should be

Like this...

The top...

The collar part would be the most challenging...

And the bottom...

Supposed to be easier ( compared to the shirt).. That's why i make it first... 

Next...

Next week my hubby would be attending his boss daughter's wedding. 

They are supposed to be usherers at the reception and were given fabrics for their outfit; our national Baju Melayu.

So, I need to come up with the complete set within this few days.

Just started to cut the trousers. Better hurry...

After a few minutes...

This should be ready by tonight, or else out of schedule.... 😜😜😜😜

Silicon glue

 My new glue. 

Found it last week during my visit to Popular looking for the girls' Teachers' Day gifts. 

Can you read the magic words,"Glues like hot glue". My weaknesses is hot glue. Still cant control how to use the glue gun.

Now enjoying it when helping the girls decorating their gifts.

Pen caddies for teachers

We are ready for Teacher's Day gifts. The two girls would have three pen caddies each to be given to selected three of their teachers. 

I purposely bought plain caddy and thinking of let the girls to decorate the gifts themselves.

Teacher's Day is five days away so should have enough times for the job. 

Yummy
