It was just an ordinary Monday night. I came back home at 8:30 in the evening, ate dinner and took some rest. I was caught in boredom while waiting for my favorite dramas on TV.
Then, suddenly, a spark of idea flicked in my mind. I wanted to try to do something very new. So I scavenged some stuffs from my lola's old box and ola! I found some pieces of fabrics I could use for materializing my desire to create some self-made clothes.
*Sewing 101 mode*
I grabbed the light aqua fabric and trimmed a simple pattern from it (a very simple, yet suitable for novice like me). Unsure of what to do, I asked my lola about how to run the sewing machine. It was indeed my first time to run a sewing machine with a *little* success. hahaha.. I must admit that it was so tough to run the machine. The thread sometimes ripped off causing the machine to jam. But It didn't stop me from pursuing my desire to learn. =D
I tried and gave my best to make a nice blouse. Basically, I just experimented. I was able to make an oversized plain shoulder-strap blouse. But I wasn't satisfied with the outcome at all.
It was already 1 am, tired and sleepy, but I wanted to finish my first-ever trial and error project with some glamour. So I spent another two hours to make it a little bit presentable. I embellished it with a lace and an adjustable tie and made an inch wide strap. And... (drum beat).... I finished my first ever self-made blouse with success.
As soon as I had the finished product, I enthusiastically tried it on. But I noticed that it was too simple, so, I added some accessories. Next time, I'll wear it and post a picture.
