ASSALAMUALAIKUM!PEACE BE UPON YOU:)


i have just moved to melaka because i'll be teaching at uitm lendu next semester in june. currently living with my lil boy hamzah n friend, yaya at rembia perkasa. my husband, jubey will travel back n forth from kl to melaka whenever my friend is not at home (too scared to sleep alone in new house hehe). 

so there's not much stuff at my place yet..i dont have a table or a chair to put my sewing machine!waa my hands are itching so bad!n i also have not found a   shop that sells chiffon at a cheap price..in bangi its rm5 per meter..shah alam rm4.50 per meter (both bidang 60") but in melaka bidang 45" its rm6.90!cheapest i can get is RM6..huhu...and i also have not found a place to serger my creations..theres 1 in alor gajah though..hmm maybe i should just buy a serger machine..hehehe..

i've received so many positive feedbacks on my chiffon cardigans and vest..lots of orders too!but i cant proceed with any of it until i find the perfect place to do it...i have a few other new designs in mind waaa..

another design that i would diy is also inspired by fitri aulia's creation from her brand KIVITZ. she uses cotton to make her drapy long cardigan complete with buttons n cuffs!very2 beautiful design..as u can see here:

soo..what i would do is..instead of using cotton 100%..im gonna combine cotton and chiffon!the material is gorgeous but for a person like me who is not so lady like, i tend to get the material crumpled!its very sensitive! So, for the drape part..im gonna use chiffon!that way it would be less crumpled and will achieve a more elegant effect!..

flowy materials such as chiffon, chiffon crepe, cotton viscose has that flowy effect which will make the wearer look slimmer and taller!something which im obviously not!haha...it would also cover any protuberance (boncitness) and cover your body shape as well!islam teaches us to not wear tight clothes!but..if u dont have any other choice or you are in the 1st phase of trying to adapt to a new muslimah style..then you can choose flowy materials to cover up!for big sized people, it is also advisable to use this sort of material to achieve a more slimmer look!:) phat and phabulous!..

here is another example of me in one of my fav cardee/vest..it is sleeveless and beautifully flowy!hehe..my out fit of the day!(posing 
n spinning around in my new lecturer's room like a crazy person!)

hehe as you can see..i is very chubby after giving birth..n i is love to eat!when in melaka, i keep eating n drinking coconut shakes..twice a day!omg...oh well..i can always cover up..with style!(hehe pardon my over confidence!) 

this style has lots of feedback from family and friends! i hope i will get the chance to diy again!

oh i forgot to mention that this is an accidental creation!haha..it was actually for my friend ema, but i did the arms horribly and i decided to cut it off and replace her chiffon..so i took this one and work it! its got an accidental ribbon too..which i wore at the front..maybe a video presentation would make you see clearer..(i want to do videos like hana tajima when she introduced her black wrap cardigan!) 

i can do many styles with it!thats why its VERSTYLE people!!hehe sounds so cheesy but hey, its actually true!hehe..i love paring it with various dresses that i have..this polka dot dress of mine is tight!around the tummy..but you cant see it!hah!coz i covered it up!:P 

till next time!wslm!have a great day ahead!!
