These are some stuff that I made last week. All fabrics are cotton in various floral pattern.
I made another ruffled collar dress. The last one I made is one size bigger than my usual size, so this time I made another one in smaller size.
This pants are actually quite similar with the pants I often made for Sidra, so they were pretty easy to make. I only put elastic on the back waist band because I want a flat appearance on the front waist. They are very comfy!
With so many floral fabrics, naturally I’ve acquired quite a bunch of fabric leftovers. I cut some into bias strips and use them to bind this simple denim vest. I’ve made several of these vests with different bindings.
After a couple of days, I began to run out of ideas. So I browsed around my old stuff and decided to recreate this dress with hood, sans sleeves this time.
And this is a bolero with embroidered sleeves. The neckline has a casing for drawstring, creating a gathered effect.
Sorry for posting so many pictures in one post! I should’ve taken some pictures every time I finished a project, but I got carried away last week. Today I haven’t been to the sewing room at all, taking pictures and posting all these pics. More will be coming!

Is there anything you sew up that isn’t awesome? I love the ruffled dress, and the vests are super cute. I can’t remember the last time I have seen anyone wear a vest, but maybe it is time for a come-back. Very cute, and as someone else said, very feminine!
Overdosed???? Not hardley, I love to see photos. It makes you appreciate all the hard work that is involved.
I love everything you are showing us today, especially the hooded dress and the pants! The vests look beautiful with that binding too!
What an amazing crafter you are Novita!
All the best in the artists market, please let us know how things go!

These are really great and feminine. I know they will be a hit, just not sure how you could choose just one:) The hooded dress and the Balero rock.
O gush!!! Great!!! Everything is superb!!Love floral trousers, vests… Everything!! You make happy clothes!!!!
I love your stuff~ sewing, pictures, comments! Have come to look forward to checking on you to see what is going on… Good luck at the market, I’m sure you’ll do great!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Such lovely pieces! Very inspiring.
Great post!! I’ve really enjoyed seeing your pieces!
I love the vest and your dresses. You surely are a style icon – and have become more so in the last year or so. You really have evolved. Your creations are stunning!
Awww thanks!
There are never too many pictures from you.
It is very exciting to be able to participate in your sewing adventure and to see the lovely things you make.
Keep on sharing, please!
Amazing …!! you give me inspiration every time, especially as i have lost it these past couple of months …please share some tutorials if you can …keep the pictures coming Novita, we love it!!
Would you mind sharing where you got the bolero pattern? Is it your own creation? I love it!
I made my own pattern, but the shape is actually quite similar to ordinary peasant blouse with raglan sleeves. You can alter a peasant blouse pattern to make it.
Just shorten the length, cut the front piece in the middle, flare the sleeves if necessary, and add drawstring casing on the neckline for the tie
Oh thank you for that! I think I will try it!
This is so beautiful and now that you’ve taught me to do bias binding properly (your instructions worked perfectly-thank youn thank you!) I want to try the vest…so cute!!!
When I was in Japan I noticed sooo many girls wearing these florals. But your pieces are so beautiful and well cut and fashionable….and not like pajamas- sometimes pants from those florals can appear to be pajamas…….
I’m making a romper from florals right now….I wonder how it will be…thanks for posting. You are an inspirationa and I’m so glad I found you!!!

I’m so happy to hear that it worked out, Meg! I’m a bit nervous about giving advice
You should try the vest, it’s quite easy with no buttons and fasteners, just binding strips all over. Quite an exercise in binding too
how amazing are you!!!!! i LOVE everything!!!

I love every piece! Thanks for the inspiration!!
OMG! I love the bolero! So cute. Love your work!
too cool….where did u learn to sew? ‘cos am trying, but i rather gave up when sew the dress.
I learnt sewing by myself a long time ago, liked it so much that I decided to take a fashion course afterwards. I’m still learning now
I love the bolero with embroidered sleeves! So romantic and pretty. And pairing it with a denim skirt makes it seem less fussy. Love it!!
Yay! Finally someone else braving printed pants!
pretty overdosed
Wow–that’s not very nice. I believe VeryPurplePerson is putting together a collection of sorts for a market stall. To her, I say–beautifully done, as always.
Oh, no, no it’s okay. We’re both not native speakers so I’m sure she didn’t mean to say anything not nice
Thank you Lia and sandoz18!
Love you clothes. You are amazing
your works inspire me so much. thank you thank you

I love the pants and especially the pockets. A tutorial on these pockets would be great, when you have time! The hooded dress is great too. Good luck with the fair.
Your clothes are beautiful!
I really don’t care about the too many pics in one post, it all so beautiful and well done! I love the fabrics you pick every single time!
oh, how i wish i could sew too! am dreaming of wearing something that i sew on my own!
heart the bolero. so cute!
Wow, really great sewing stuff. The vests with the floral bias are great! You are producing all this for the artist market? I think you will have a lot of happy customers!!
Yes, they are for the market. I hope people will like them
