ta daaaaa...for those who long for my story....here I come..ngek ngek preeettt...hehe...
I think you guys all know that I've been staying in Medan for almost 2 months...(btw...Did I tell you before that I moved to Medan...jiaaaa)
and Medan is so so so....ehmmmm...(dont have many words to describe)...but I miss Makassar to be honest and Jakarta for sure :( (yaeyalah jakarta is the place where my "ari-ari" was planted.....apa itu ari2?...tanya ama emaksnya masing2 yak...)
Haloooo...I cant see any relation between your story and the tittle you made above...(eiitsss...sabar cuuuuyyy...)
kayy...for the time being, I dont have any serious activity as I havent applied for any teaching job in Medan yet. I'm more focus on my pregnancy program anyway (wish it would be success...huuufttt...please pray for me prens :)
so..rather than just bengong2 or wandering, I try to keep myself busy by doing my recent hobby which is sewing..yeeeeyyyy...
Last week I had successfully finished my big project "making backpack for my dear husband"...(I uploaded the pictures in my facebook already....yah harap
maklum...hasil karya harus di pajang...hahaha...preeettt...)
and just now...I finished my another blouse. I bought the fabric with blue floral printing when I was still in makassar, precisely at "Toko Perlengkapan Jahit Harapan di pasar Central Makassar"...the fabric was so cheap...it was only Rp 17.000/meter.
and the pattern itself was actually taken from "Japanese Sewing Book"
Here is the book that I just mentioned ...
Perhaps some of you will question me...how can I make a blouse from a book that has kanji writing....hahaha...me myself dont have any idea....I just straight look at the step by step pictures only, without understanding the writing explanation at all....heellloooooo....ya eyalah...sejak kapan gw bisa baca tulisan jepang :D
oh ya I fell in love with this book at the first sight. It was when I did browsing online stores that sell pattern sewing book and I found that book in Toko Bagus...langsung hajar bleh beli cuuyyy...abisnya di medan lom ada kinokunya book store.
Then I told my husband that I just bought Japanese sewing book by online and its price is Rp 150.000 and the delivery cost is Rp 23.000.
and you know what his reaction was...He was just frawning...
then I repeated my sentence...iya..so totally Rp 173.000
after some seconds then he spoke up..."what an expensive sewing book it is !.."
then I said lightly..."ya eyalah my dear...It is imported from Japan so It is super duper original book from Japan my dear..." :D
"How about the language?..", he added.
"ya ..of course in kanji", I answered..
"so..will you understand?..",he added another questions
hehehee...I just grinned..."Let's see when the book arrive, kay.." :D
and finally the book arrived...Oh Gosh...all the clothes in that book are so simply gorgeous and the book is also completed with patterns of some clothes...so I just need to trace from the pattern...yihaaaa...
I kept reading the book...upps not reading but staring at the pictures only and tried to understand the patterns and how to sew them into gorgeous clothes :)
at the end I decided to trace "the No.3 pattern". It looked so easy for me and I was so sure that I could follow the step by step pictures.
ta daaaa....within 2 days I successfully sewed this blouse...
But ... Oh God...why this blouse is super big for me..hiks...
I ensured my self that I was picking size M which is the right size for me...
(For Your Info...each pattern in that book is available in size S,M and L, we just need to fit our body according to its provided sizes)
I put on my handmade blouse...and It is really really loose for me...oh nooooo...I'm drowning in my own clothe...help help...cant take a breath...help help....halah halah lebay jeung yg ini...hehehe...
Then I asked for my husband's suggestion, "What if I cut these long sleeves into short?...will I look much better?...
and my husband was only nodding his head several times...
hadeh capek deh..not helping at all...
So...I cut the long sleeve into short and put elastic string around its sleeve...
ta daaaaa...It doesnt look that bad, does it!...hehehee
ya at least if it is too big for me, I still can wear it later on during my pregnancy... :D
