moms knit top

My mom bought this knit fabric for her top, she asked me to sew it.. Oh, as long as the fabric is not too expensive I'd love to do it. I trace her top to make the pattern, the chest part supposed to be wavy .. after I sewed it, it turned out very odd .. I cut it, and try again.. after several attempts I use straight cut for the chest and it turned out okay, but resulting in a shorter top (too short for my mom) :P I'm sorry mom, better luck next time ^^
Another project is remodel my daughter's legging .. the legging is supposed to have ruffles in its bottom, but I don't know what I was thinking at that time, I only used half part of my cut fabrics .. so the ruffle is not too puffy. I want to remodel it using lace fabrics, it takes only 5 minutes to cut the old ruffle and sew the new lace fabric. Love the result.

dc cupcakes


I just watched the serial last night, and I love it! together with junior master chef Australia is a perfect weekend wrapped up for me. My daughter like it as well she began to draw picture of cakes with some figurine (picture soon), and she insisted me to make that cake last night. I was so tired and I didn't have any cake supplies .. so I passed it, she cried and I have to persuade her and make her calm.

I promise I will buy the cake supplies tomorrow so we can bake anytime we like. And make cupcakes !
I was horrible in making big cakes (it failed the first time and I have no courage to make the second one) .. and it will result in huge cake and no body can finish it so it ended up in trash :( that's why I prefer baking small amount of cookies or cakes (cupcakes sounds good rite ?).
