Yesterday, my sister and I went for The Vamps Wake Up Concert!
We bought the VIP tickets hence we were entitled for soundcheck and of course priority standing. HEHE. I did not took any video during the soundcheck.
The Tide was the opening act for the tour. They were good so I subscribed to their channel, looking forward to good music from them.
Here's some pictures and fancams~
Mygod when Brad sang 'Million Words'. His voice was amazing. I almost cried listening to his live. I can tell that the boys really enjoyed themselves here. Also they promised to be back. Yes, I'll be waiting boys. HAHA.
I finished sewing my A-line skirt with the remaining fabric but I did not take any photos because I lent my digital camera to my sister. If you are curious on how I sew the skirt, I referred to Q2HAN's channel!
They are really talented and I love watching their DIYs. I hope this video will be helpful for those who want to sew A-Line Skirt!
So how did mine go?
If I can do it, you can too!

It's finally my first post for the year, Hip hip Hooray!
I just finished my first DIY for the year.
I made very own sweater! HEHE.
Materials:
2m fabric
Thread
Sewing machine
I find sewing really simple and easy to do when you know how to create your own pattern. For myself, I use a similar clothing to trace out the pattern. In this DIY, I am using an oversized crop top which I am very much in love with. :)
With a sample clothing as a guideline for pattern-making, you can easily alter the length and width of the clothing you are making. Since I am using a crop top to make a sweater, I ensure that the pattern I trace out is longer than the sample clothing.
First and foremost, to trace out pattern you need to fold the clothes into half.
A simple sweater requires three important parts- FRONT, BACK & SLEEVE
FRONT
BACK
SLEEVE
Do not forget to add in the fold direction. This is absolutely important or else you might forget to fold your fabric before cutting them!
FRONT
BACK
SLEEVE
Yay! So we are done cutting the fabric. Now it's time to assemble these three together and you'll get yourself a sweater.
When ever it comes to sewing a top, the shoulder will be the first to sew.
right-right side which means the wrong side of the fabric will be on the outside.
pin the FRONT and BACK together
You can start sewing the shoulder.
Next, pin the sleeve to the armhole.
Always remember to pin your fabric together this is to keep them on the right track when you sew them.
Once the sleeve is sewn on, pin the sides of the bodice and bottom of the sleeve.
Then head to the sewing machine and press the foot pedal!
After assembling the three parts together, I decided to add bias tape to the neckline and cuff on the wrist area.
Oops, I forgot to take pictures of the bias tape! What I did to make the bias tape was I measured the neckline of the sweater.
My measurement for the bias tape was 23" by 1.5"
I cut out the fabric with an additional 0.5".
Pin the right-right side together and sew them. Afterwards, fold the ends of the bias tape and sew.
Next, I did the cuff.
The measurement was 10" by 3".
After cutting the fabric, fold the fabric into half (right-right side) and sew the ends.
Before attaching the cuff to the wrist area, turn the cuff inside-out.
Once the right side is out, pin the cuff to the wrist area and sew.
Lastly, I did a rolled hem at the bottom for a clean finish!
So how did my sweater look?

WEE~ Isn't it easy? HEHE! So how much fabric did I use? I only used about 1m out of the 2m ( I am a petite size lady. HAHAHA! )
I still have plenty of fabric left, A-line skirt will be the next DIY of 2016!
That's all for this post. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog. Also, I created a youtube account with my dearest friend. We called ourselves, 2misfitchers. Please check out our channel~
It's been over a year since I've last posted anything. This proves how much of an "active" blogger I am. I told myself over and over again I should blog since blogging is/was my social platform. Guess who's turning to be an unsociable idiot? (NOT ME OF COURSE!)
New year is coming in exactly 21 days. There will be some changes within my blog for new year. I know you're probably be like: yeah, right. As if she's going to blog so often. She lies all the time. I really am, really am excited for the change! The new upcoming blog will have more elements which focus on -
Sewing journal
Photography journal
Drama recap
Book recommendation + reflection
Domo + Toothless adventure
Please be excited for me!
Do come back in 21 days, I promise you'll be entering a magical site!
Resolution wish for 2016 is becoming an active blogger.
This term hits me so badly right now. Everyone is selfish. No matter how kind or nice someone can be, there will always be a time when he or she behaves selfishly.
I personally think it is alright to be selfish when you're not causing harm (physically or mentally) to others. However, when an individual's selfish act causes harm to others, I find it unacceptable.
Don't expect me to be smiling and understanding if you're behaving selfishly most of the time. I am not a nice person. I repeat I am not a nice person.
Since the month of August is coming to an end. I've decided to update my blog. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
I kept telling myself I should update more often but I am just too lazy. Kekeke. Sorry ~
There's so many things I wish to buy but I'm controlling my wants and focusing on my needs. I shall make a list of things to buy when I'm back from seoul! Hehe.
I can't wait to fly to South Korea. The weather here is ridiculous. Ohhh~ Global Warming~
Now, I've no idea what clothes to bring for my seoul trip. Erm. In less than 2 months, I am flying off. Kekeke. Will I be able to see any idols when I'm there? LOL.
I am going to buy plenty of clothes and maybe two pairs of shoes when I'm in seoul. Since I'm not planning to buy any or a lot of cosmetics. Muahahahahaha!
Enjoy your Sunday lovelies.
