I need about half yard to make the whole set. The bra pattern is Pin-up Girls Classic Bra #1230, size 30C. This [...]

My style always changes subtly from time to time, otherwise I will get bored of myself! I bought Pendrell blouse pattern by Tasia from [...]

Corduroy skirt

Indigo blue corduroy shirt

September 13, 2011kidswear

  I bought the corduroy fabric with the thought of making a pair of pants for Sidra. But when I showed the fabric to him, Sidra said that he wanted a shirt from this fabric. His reason? He said, “Everyone would say that this fabric is better as a pair of pants, so I want to be [...]

The pattern is Merckwaerdigh PBH30 that I won sometime ago at Merckwaerdigh ebay auction. The pattern is for push-up underwired bra, bustier, [...]
