DIY: Blouse with ruffles~

 I am finally doing a DIY post!!!

YIPPIE~

Nope, above pic isn't what I am going to post on. LOL.

I forgot to snap some pictures while making that shirt.

HAHA. My bad.

Materials Needed:

1. 1-1.5m of fabric
2. Sewing machine
3. Thread
4. A pair of scissors
5. Papers for pattern making
6. Zipper
7. Pins

Cutting the fabric:

1. 1x Front Bodice
2. 2x Back Bodice
3. 2x Sleeves
4. 2x 20"by 4" rectangular pieces
5. 2x 10" by 4" rectangular pieces

I basically traced out the pattern from a shirt. You can adjust the length of the blouse and the shoulder of the blouse according to your preferences. I like my blouse to have a longer sleeves. Hence I lengthen the sleeve.

Assembling the pieces:

1. Sew the shoulders together.
2. Attach the sleeves to the armhole.
3. Sew the side seams.
4. Attach zipper to the center back.
5. Sew the center back.
6. Create a neckline facing using the remaining fabric.
7. Sew the facing to the neck line.
8. Gathered the rectangular pieces to create ruffles.
9. Attach ruffles to the raw edges of the blouse and sleeves. 
10. Hem the ruffles.

 Pull the bobbin thread when it comes to gathering~

End product:

This basically took me less than 4 hours to finish. It is really simple. I could have completed it much earlier but sometimes, my sewing machine doesn't want to cooperate with me. :(


I am only left with one set of fabric. It is finally the time for me to purchase some fabrics for more DIYs. Meanwhile, I just finished an upcycle project. I think I am going to do some upcyling over the following weekends while I find some fabric online and wait for the fabric to arrive. Till then~

My personal list for Korean Actress

So overdue~

As promised, I finally am doing a list for my favourite korean actress.

These actress who make it to my list obviously captured my heart in the year of 2016 with their wonderful, amazing, almost perfect acting with very little flaws that I can bear with. It was so tough doing this list as compared to doing the male actors! As I was doing this, I realised some of the actresses who I truly love didn't make a comeback last year or I failed to watch their dramas due to various reasons.

Anyways, let's get the list going~

10. Kim Ji Won/ Kim Go Eun
9. Kim Yoo Jong

8. Hwang Jung Eum

7. Kim So Hyun

6. Son Hyun Jin

5. Park Min Young

4. Jang Nara 

3. Kim Ha Neul

2. Shin Min Ah

1. Soo Ae 

Honorable Korean Actress (Every time they appear on screen, I have nothing to say but fantastic acting.):

Kim Hye Soo
Gong Hyo Jin


If you're wondering why Song Hye Kyo isn't in the list, well I don't really watch descendant of the sun properly. When she's on my tv screen, I personally find her character unlikable and thus she, maybe more towards her character, doesn't touch my heart last year. Thus, she didn't make it to my list. Don't get me wrong! I like Song Hye Gyo and I know she can act but Descendant of the Sun really isn't my cup of tea!

Current favourite dramas (ongoing):

Voice

Defendant

Tomorrow with you

Chief Kim
