NO. 6 (10 BLOUSES/JUBAH CHALLENGE)

Haha, a big laugh to myself. Indeed I managed to finish the challenge but only now realized that I have never uploaded the rest of 5 outcomes.

I made this emerald green abaya using satin material, medium thick and so comfy.started wearing it when hari raya season and hot weather ni Malaysia. The bottom arm part i used thick lace fabric.no zipper but still could roll it up for wuduk.Ada cutting sket tp tak ikut bentuk badan but still nampak kurus.haha..suka jahit ni.nanti blh amik tempahan bila balik msia, in shaa Allah..

NO.10 (10 BLOUSES/JUBAH CHALLENGE)

This is another "daily use" jubbah/abaya in the house. Really comfy as it is a satin mix material but we feel  cool in it. Perfect for my summer here or in Malaysia. Again, just wear this at home as no matter how big you made it, it still could reflect the body figure as it is a very very light satin. It also has roses print on it that are obviously seen on this dark blue base. You will see this material a lot in Gwanjang market, ready cut in 4 yards, targeting Malaysians' customers. I just used almost 3 yards of the material and another one ++ yard still in my sewing room for to do list.

NO. 9 (10 BLOUSES/JUBAH CHALLENGE)

This time round I used lycra. Bought this material long time ago since we arrived in Seoul but I just kept it. I like the roses small prints. Eventhough it is a white base lycra, it is not to seen through. I made it twice my usual size just to prepare in case it could fall on the body figure. I wore this a few times already in the house only just to replace my old "baju kelawar" :) .

NO.8 (10 BLOUSES/JUBAH CHALLENGE)

Again, abaya for me. This time is royal blue. It was hard to find this colour and this material. I bought the fabric in Gwanjang market for only 2 and half yard x 58". I know I just tawakkal to buy this. When coming back home, I tried to put together with my abaya pattern and it seemed to fit well. I bought the blue beads lace from online and still have some more! Looking out for a new project with it.

NO.7 (10 BLOUSES/JUBAH CHALLENGE)

Again, i used korea fabric but does not really know the type. Got from gwanjang market and the arm lace i got from dongdaemun market. This fabric is a bit thick and heavy but look flowy. I made it extra large to avoid the body cutting.

NO.5 BLOUSE (10 BLOUSES/JUBAH CHALLENGE)

No.5 checked!

I have actually finished this a few weeks ago but no time to upload it here.

This is also a Korean cotton, easy to handle and definitely no doubt in the quality. This is a blue colour, it is actually a bit darker than the picture here, due to the camere lighting I guess. It has lots of tiny spots in white on it. I love the neckline shape. Easy to use, no need button or zipper. It fits my big head.hehe.

 

NO.4 BLOUSE (10 BLOUSES/JUBAH CHALLENGE)

No.4, checked!! My summer blouse is here!

 

Right on time for the spring. I am so excited

for this black and white small dots. It is a Korean cotton. I am so in love with the quality and its perfect print! Why I chose this color? Black & White? (again and again?). I think I have mentioned somewhere before that here most of them love to wear the descent colours; black, white, brown, grey, cream and some pastel colours. Anyway, I can always wear this in Malaysia later. The material is not so thick and very suitable for a mom of three like me, hahaha...simple as always. 

 

NO.3 BAJU KURUNG MODEN (10 BLOUSES/JUBAH CHALLENGE)

No.3, checked! It is baju kurung moden anyway.

 I actually made 'magic' on this. haha. honestly, I cut this fabric long time ago in Malaysia but never finished sewing. But I did not know what was wrong with my sewing needle or the fabric, I would obviously say because the thread from the fabric kept coming out along the way as I did the sewing. Just like the fabric before. My assumption would be maybe the fabric itself. Cheap fabric I guess when I bought that time. But I could not help it because I love the print. Ok, next time lesson learnt.

 

p/s: there was a little model at the back.hehe.

 

NO.2 - JUBAH (10 BLOUSES/JUBAH CHALLENGE)

No.2, Jubah, checked!!

Still using fabric from Malaysia (see how passionate I am in fabric, never out of stock and the most important is, don't waste your fabric, use it to the fullest..haha).

Anyway, this Jubah is not really a princess cut, just A cut I guess. I like the design but sorry to say not the fabric. I think I got it from Nilai 3. The thread of the fabric came out when I was sewing, didn't know why but I still finished my sewing coz I was thinking of replacing this Jubah instead of my old 'baju kelawar'.

 

NO.1 - BLOUSE (10 BLOUSES/JUBAH CHALLENGE)

This is the first blouse. Just a simple one. I had this fabric from Malaysia, I think I bought in Kamdar Kajang.hehe. I used it anyway since I like the pattern, black and white and simple. I will be wearing this in this spring and summer.

 

One DONE,

Checked!!!

 

10 BLOUSES/JUBAH/TOPS CHALLENGE

Pergh, tajuk macam apa je ye.hehe I was just challenging myself of sewing either blouse, jubah or tops.10 at least for a start before the summer is here. I need all those as last summer I was wearing the same a few blouses again and again. As I mentioned earlier, it is hard to find my size here whereby I don't like to wear fitted shirt or short blouse. Maybe there are, but the price is soooooo expensive. Well, since I could easily get good fabrics here so why not I just sew some? hopefully my dream will come true ;P. Oh yeah, if any of you ever challenge yourself like this, care to share some tips to realize it? Thank you!
