I Made This!

I wake up early just to take a photo of something I made for the second day of my Photo A Challenge. Actually, I made this blog, Fely N Stitch, so that I can show you my sewing projects.

I made this biased purple dress using the sewing machine of my mother-in-law. The year after, I bought my own Singer sewing machine. Having my own equipment, I have more time making costumes for my friends. We participated in the Pinoy Otaku Encore 2011 held at SM Mega Trade Hall last November 26, 2011.

I was inspired by this Red Hot dress Tom  and Linda Platt that was featured in the December 2010 issue of Vogue Patterns. So, I made one for myself using one and a half meter purple silk satin which I bought for only P 180.00 at Gaisano, Market! Market. Making this project was so easy! I just cut the fabric into two bias and connected to each other without notions needed. In order to achieve a smooth finish, I asked someone in the tailoring shop to sew the edges using a zigzig machine which I paid P 40.00 for the service. I only spent two hours finishing this project!

L is for Light

Photo a Day 
First day of March 2013:
L is for LIGHT when everything is dark.

This is my first day to join the Photo a Day Challenge. I have already seen the list last night and looked around the house for any object which starts with letter L. I remembered I still have several unopened wedding gifts in my storage box. They've been there for more than four years! I found this one in still its original wrapping.

Though there's no gift tag anymore, I could still recall that these antique looking lamps were given by my friend Anna as a wedding gift. 

My husband, who died last May 1, 2011 due to CKD, had never seen the light of these couple lamps.

As a go through this another chapter of my life without him, may God will lighten my sorrow and pain of losing my Love.

I will try to say something about the photograph I have taken everyday. So keep following my blog.
