Ramadan, our favorite month of the year, is down to its last 11 or 12 days. We had a wonderful start to the month, when we were able to sight the Ramadan crescent ourselves.
Since then, it has been all business, fasting, the suhoor (pre-dawn meal) and iftaar (the break-fast meal) and adjusting to a different sleep routine. On top of the hot June weather, we had to deal with a viral fever, which took all four kids in turn. That made the start of the month especially full.
I have had little time or inclination to do any craft work. Here I am sharing the sewing I did a couple of months ago, for my eldest daughter. These are a couple of lawn fabric tops and a dress.
The first one is a chevron print sewed into a Japanese-style top, inspiration for which abounds on pinterest.
The second top is a floral peasant blouse with raglan sleeves.
And lastly, there is the multicolored polka-dot dress with a circle skirt. All these were my own drafts.
This summer has been very productive sewing-wise. I have sewn a lot of things, most of which do not make it to the blog. The most ambitious of all was the sewing of Eid clothes for the girls _ glittery, shear, hard to manage fabrics, turned into cute, fun traditional dresses. I do hope to share them here after Eid.
In knitting, I have an almost done sweater front, with lace details, to share. In the next post, insha Allah.

So colorful and pretty - and who doesn't love a swirly skirt!
ReplyDeleteI ought to dust off my Featherweight and sew something, even if it's as simple as curtains. Or project bags. Actually, that would be a very useful thing to do with all the small pieces of fabric I have in a drawer. Thanks for the inspiration, as always! :)
