After everytime I dress up myself, after like everypost is talking about my outfit, now let's see what I did to my lil sister, Zahra ;) YES, I dress her up! she's a bit contrary to me. She loves PINK so much, and very gurly, she adore fairy tales, her favourite toy is Barbie, and her idol definetely Cinderella! hoiyh...she's turning six upcoming march, she wear hijab since she were a baby :) at first, the purpose my mum worn it to her besides to get her used to hijab is covering her neck to keep her warm, but without being forced, she always want to wear it, we never ask her, she don't want to put it off in public if not necessary, but of course she's just a kid--an over power hiperactive kid exactly, if we think she's already too sweaty, we will ask her to release the hair. Now take a look at this...taraa!
Okay, this afternoon, me, my mum, and my sister picked up my father and my younger brother at the airport, they're back from Jakarta, be here for spending holidays, my family member is now completed ;) yay! the above photo is my lil sister after having such a sweet meet up with my Dad, she keep holding his hand during our walk to the parking lot :D the hijabstyling done by me and successfully catch a lot of streetwalkers eyes to her ;) she tottaly love it and can stop smirking in front of the mirror! hehee...I just need my old pink scarf and a corsage ;p
The pink look completed when she rockn her cute pink bow clutch i bought for her :D she lost her old clutch--you know kids--whereas the old one's cuter and so rare, hiks, she put her tissue and parfume in, sometimes there's a candy or money which all were coins, hihihi, such funny to me ;)
My sister was very happy today b'cus me and my mum were having a little surprise for her, we bought a set of fairy stuffs like glittery wings and the magic pink wand two weeks ago, but we keep it until today and give it to my father before she met him, pretend like it was from my father :D she asked for it since last month but we're always pending it, and she's got a very very happy jump today because she miss her dad a lot and guess what?

Assalamu'alaikum Wr Wb, yahaa tetep posting meskipun lagi ngungsi. Berhubung di situasi gini ortu dan adik-adik malah pada diluar kota, aku cuma ngungsi berdua sama abangku di rumah adiknya nenek, hadeeh. Jujur--boseeeeeeeeeeeen to the pol! karena kegiatan orang sepuh biasanya cuma liat TV, paling bersih-bersihin debu keliling rumah, terus kegiatanku? ya sama ngebantuin eyang juga dan paling cuma browsing bentar-bentar buka apaan sih hari gini. Nah, mumpung sekarang lagi rehat, aku posting deh, hehe.
Ceritanya, lagi bersih-bersih kamar kerjanya eyang, liat banyak buku-buku semasa beliau masih jadi dosen, dan album-album foto beliau dulu pas tinggal di luar negeri--maklum dosen kondang, heheh. Aku menelusuri rak, and guess what...heheh...sedikit menghibur kebetean saya--I found something cool...a PATTERN BOOK! hehehe. Wawawa aku suka ini! hehehe jadi gak bete lagi karena bisa sedikit cuci mata...
So, in facts, I found few, not only one, hehe, they're soooo vintage, both cover and contents, cos they're from 70's era :D I know that my granny bought them from Aussie, cos they're International label--and no bahasa at all, hehehe...

Well I havent checked them all out, so, cant wait any longer to explore 70's fashion, must be so much cool :)) now toodle! hihi
I always have sparetimes, so i made this dress for my "Fairy Tale Obsessed" sister. Ive never bein taught sewing, even my mom never did, but i can do it, idk, hehh :D Since i was a baby, my Mom's used to make something that involve sewing and stitching by herself, soooo maybe, my unplanned ability comes naturally from her, maybe, hhe. Well, in this entry, i wanna share few things bout my kerjaan iseng, hope u like it, and my lil sister also does :)
Jadi ceritanya, aku punya adik perempuan--umurnya 4 tahun 6 bulan, yang terobsesi banget sama fairy tales dan seisinya. Termasuk penyebab dia tergila-gila sama warna PINK adalah si fairy tale inih. Gak cuma warna, yang menonjol lagi dia suka banget sama baju-baju terutama dress yang panjang sampai ke mata kaki, kayak princess gown gitu. Suatu saat aku beliin adikku dress batik selutut pas belanja sama si ibu di Malioboro gara2 kesengsem sama motif dan warnanya yang kalem. Kebetulan baju adikku juga jarang banget yang batik, nah waktu dibawa pulang, udah deh adikku gamau pake karena pendek selutut. Waduh, nambahin kerjaan aja, namanya anak TK mana mau dipaksa buat nerima. Jadi besoknya aku mikir buat me-rehab itu baju. Panjang cerita aku beli bahan katun buat tambahan itu dress supaya bisa di-imajinasikan jadi kayak princess dress ma tu anak :D here's the procedure...
1. Dress utama, bahan, dan perlengkapannya
2. First step mulai di foto kedua :D, ya dedel bagian atas ma bawah biar misah
3. Wujud setelah kepisah
4. Gunting kain tambahan sesuai potongan yang diinginkan
5. Karena pengen bikin model selang-seling antaramotif dan polosnya, kain polosnya kubikin potongan horizontal panjang, begitulah.
6. Gunting kain motif yang asalnya dari rok bagian bawah yang udah didedel tadi, dibagi dua secara horizontal, trus dibikin potongan panjang juga.
7. Abis dipotong disambung deh sampe panjaaaaang.
8. Setelah semua dipotong, disambung, dan disiapkan, jahit deh sambungkaan ke baju bagian atas (yang pertama disambungin kain yang polos yah) gak lupa agak dilipet-lipet biar hasilnya rimple (maklum buat anak kecil)
9-11. Ya gitu deh kira2 caranya buat ngebikin kesan rimplenya.
12. Pasang tali pinggang samping yang terpaksa kepisah dari baju karena pendedelan tadi. hehe
13. Wujud setelah terpasang.
14. Tambahin karet elastis di bagian punggung supaya bajunya ngepas dan nyaman di badan anak kecilnya.
15. Tampak bagian dalam setelah disambung selang-seling antara motif dan polosnya.
16. Tampak luarnya, terus fininshing (obras, gejahit lipatan bawah, dll) laluuuu kira-kira cukuplah sudaahhh :D
Dan kurang lebih gini deh hasilnyaaa...
Waaa, so glad that my sissy loved it so much :D she fit in the dress and she liked it. Dipake jalan muter-muter kayak putri lagi dansa, halalah, yaa gini nih serunya punya adik cewe, bisa didandanin macem-macem :D hehehe. There are still few more dress i made for her, but i'd never been able to post them, so this one's already represent all, heheh. Alryt, guys, saya mulai pegel ngetik lagi, hehe, jadi kayaknya sampai sini dulu, thanks for reading :D and last. i present to you this picture for closing, enjoy...hehe...

Hahaha, post title-nya nggak banget, well, baju ini salah satu karyaku yang kubuat sendiri untuk acara prom SMA. Sebenernya aku kurang suka acara semacam itu dan sejenisnya, tapi berhubung semua temen-temen mesti bakal ngumpul, jadi ngerasa sayang buat ngelewatinnya. Alkisah aku jadi pengen design+ngejahit sendiri kostum promku nanti, yang sekiranya bisa elegant tapi santai, gak norak, gak ribet, gak geraaah, dan gak ng-badmood-in akunya yang sejujurnya kurang suka acara malem, hehehe. Sebenernya alasan pengen ngejahit sendiri gak cuma karena pengen pake baju yang sesuai keinginan, tapi juga karena lagi bokek gak punya duit buat belanja (isi dompet tinggal dua ribu buat beli permen -,-).
Akupun bersimpuh dihadapan Yang Maha Kuasa Allah SWT, halah, akhirnya terinspirasi dari bajunya Dakota Fanning di David Letterman Show, aku mutusin untuk bikin jumpsuit :D ahaha. Konflik batin selanjutnya adalah karena aku gak punya uang untuk beli bahan kain, dodol dodol, tetapi sekali lagi karena Allah Maha Penyayang, waktu jungkir balik nyari keajaiban, bener-bener ajaib! (lebay) aku nemuin bahan batik hijau di laci-laci perlengkapan jahit, dan batiknya pun gak sembarang batik :D wussh melesat nyari si Ibu........ternyata itu kain dari seragam arisan ibu, yang udah tiga bulan nganggur belum jadi dijahit karena ibu masih sibuk dan bingung mau dibikin apa. Nah setelah merayu, merayu, menggoda, dan mengemis-ngemis dihapapan ibu, aku diijinkan untuk memiliki kain itu, hehe. Senangnya itu kain pas banget di hati, batik tapi motifnya floral kecil-kecil yang manis banget, dan bagusnya lagi gak keliatan kuno meskipun itu batik :)
22 jam berkutat ma tu kain, re-designing gimana bagusnya kalo dikasi lengan, motongin, ngejahit, dsb, akhirnya jadi juga si Batik Jumpsuit Apparatus :D waaahh, lumayan tanpa ngeluarin sepeser pun dari dompet, bisa dapet baju prom, yessss, dan pas D-day pun aku pakai :) here they go...
++Accessories: Belt, Bracelet, Toy ring, Vintage Back Pack (or Clutch) , Beloved Rock n' Re Nika (Repelica) :D, Kerudung Paris
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beginilah jadinya wujud saya di prom :D bersama sohib-sohib gemblung tercinta. bisa lebih lincah daripada yang pada pakai dress, hihi, loncat sana loncat sini tetep elegan, wuek.
Hmmmm, kayaknya enough chit-chat, sampai sini aja yaaa, cu next posts, beebye :D
