Sewing Modification

Happy new year.. 

(I don't do such party actually. However, I guess I need to write that 2 words for the opening).

It's been a year I didn't write any post. Yes, I wrote my last post in 2012, and it's 2013 now.

Bad joke ha? 
Today, I'm gonna show you how I modified a dress. It was not me my self, but ibu was behind me. She gave me her hand doing some sewing. Wanna see it? Come come..

The dress before being modificated

It is my batik dress I bought in Pasar Bringharjo last year. It's quit cheap that I can save 25 thousand of my 100 thousand. No doubt since the design is very simple and many people have such a dress with the same design but different pattern.

I modified this dress on purpose. It's not about the design, it's about the height. When I wore this dress, it's stop above my ankle. I call it "cingkrang" in Bahasa Jawa. It makes me feel uncomfortable. Thus, I decided to attach a red cloth on the bottom part. Lucky me, I already bought the cloth few months ago so that I wasn't interfered my sewing mood.

The sewing progress

Do you see Ibu over there?
Don't ask me what she was doing. She often helps me sewing any cloth. That day, I did cut and sew the cloth by my self. When I sew the bottom part of the dress, I guess I asked too many about how to do this and that o Ibu. This made her lost her interest. She took over the sewing machine and continued sewing the bottom part. That's it. She just finished sewing the bottom part, and I did the further sewing. I put a cloth belt over the belly and a ribbon on the right side. And, taraaaa....

I am so glad the dress getting better than before. It looks more chick and glamour . I wore this new look dress on my collage-mate's wedding party. I will wear it again on another party. The question will be, who's going to marry soon? I hope it's me
