Thank you.








Step by Step

























Using seam ripper, cut seam between shirt and 1st tier skirt of one of dress.



Trim the bottom end of shirt to make neater and then hem.
Hemming: fold 0.25" and fold 0.25" the bottom end of shirt, and sew. Because the shirt is not long enough, hemming as little as possilbe would be good.





         

         Easy done for shirt👕





Cut inner fabric attached to two tiered skirt, and trim the top end of skirt. The trim top of skirt will be sewn with the bottom end of minidress.













Another mini dress: cut skirt hem and save it for midi dress waist belt string.




Compare the length of the top end of two tired skirt and the bottom end of another mini dress, and the longer one to be gathered. In this instance, the bottom of another mini dress is longer one and to be gathered. 
**It sounds funny thinking of completed 4 tiered dress with 3rd tiered is short than 2nd tired, I thought so. But I was too lazy to rip off 2nd tired from 1st tired of another mini dress, and to sew the top of two tiered skirt to the bottom end of 1st tiered of another minidress, and then to sew 2nd tiered in the last. In the end I was happy how it turned out without rip off too many tiered. 







Divide 4 sections, and mark the section end with sewing peg. 







Gather the each section. 
Place the top end of two tired skirt and the gathered bottom end of mini dress together with right sides facing in, and match the each end of sections, and then adjust the gathered skirt to match the length.
Tie the knot and cut off excess thread after gathered fabric adjuted. 
And sew (overlock stitch recommended). 




Press seam down and sew. It only can be done on the placket to make it neater.

DIY Cat Harness & Leash Set and Pattern

Image
I have made an harness jacket for my cat. I let him play without any lease or harness on back garden, but if we need to play at front garden, or go to camping, some harnesses and leash set needed.  Harness jacket vest area finished with hook and loop tape which is adjustable to cat's vest size, so it will fit on him even though he put on weights. I thought to use hook and loop tape for neck of harness jacket but it might make neck strap too thick and uncomfortable for cat to move his head. So I ended up using slide plastic buckle. Because I made harness jacket with cute cat designed cotton fabric, my cat can wear as jacket as well without a leash. Preparation: Cotton fabric for inner, outer, and buckle straps, batting, 10mm buckle clip, 10m triglide adjustable buckle 1, D ring 1, snap hook 1, poly strap 2m Strap measurement for buckles - width 4 times of the buckle glide hole size, and length 4.25 inches for the short one and 7.75 inches for the long one. Strap material : as per
