How to dress properly

Wearing a full skirt

It is best to team up a full skirt with a fitted shirt so there is balance and proportion. Never wear a full skirt with a full blown blouse as it will create an illusion of you being bigger than you actually are! Be sexy and look young in fitted blouse that accentuates your curves,

Wearing accessories

A single chunky necklace can make your look personal , a style all your own! A unique belt can also liven up your otherwise plain sheath dress. Look for belts made from unique materials, like rope and even ordinary braided cotton can sometimes match your clothing! Be creative.

Wearing Jeans

Jeans can make us feel masculine, so beware of those big Tees which are unflattering! Choose something feminine on top. Try figure hugging tops, they're more flattering!

Wearing Blazers

Your best bet is a nicely tailored blazer that fits well on you. It can transform your otherwise ordinary look into something stunning! Invest in a good blazer in neutral hues and there are endless ways to match it with your clothes.

Clothes Labels


I would like to share with you how you can be creative and make your own labels! It is very simple to do. You only need an inkjet printer, iron on transfer paper suitable for ink jet printers, flat iron and scissors. You can try HP iron on transfer paper. You will also need white 100% cotton ribbon , depending on the width you desire. I used half inch width. Come up with your own design and label name and find a suitable font size such that it will match the ribbon width when printed. Choose to print "mirror image". Maximize the sheet of thermal transfer paper by making the designs in rows similar to a ribbon your ribbon. Print on normal paper before you use the iron-on paper. Once you are satisfied with the printed design, print it using the iron-on paper. Cut the printed iron-on paper into strips and transfer the design onto the ribbon. Cut to size and now you have instant labels! Be creative, try various designs!

The Joys of Sewing

I am overjoyed that I know how to sew and make clothes alterations. It is a gift to be able to stay self sufficient and never feel helpless. It is fortunate to have an edge in life and sewing is one thing that gets you soaked in and get carried away. I can spend a whole saturday at home, doing my sewing projects. I can sew a blouse to my fancy or make one for my sister who has difficulty getting the right fitting clothes out of a retail rack. To see a smile on their faces is enough joy to be had.

With my newfound hobby, I can save a fortune! I grab fabrics when they are on sale, beautiful colors, texture and patterns. I keep them for those times when I want to translate my design imaginations into reality.

I am lucky I do not have to frown because the skirt I bought from the mall didn't fit right or the waistline is too loose because I can do something about it. I can make my clothes well fitting and hide those I want to cover. My dress can be one of a kind and I feel good wearing it. I learn to appreciate my clothings better because I made them.

The greatest joy is making doll clothes. Imagine making use of those stash of fabrics I accumulate after making for myself, they are put to good use! The feeling I get when I put on that new clothing on my doll is so cherished and really puts a smile on one's face! Today can be a shirt, tomorrow can be a poncho , next day can be a long dress.

So try it , friends! Never too late to learn how to sew!

When I do alterations for people, I find joy in being able to help and solve one's problem . Someone out there needs my help and no matter how small the job is, it is big for the person whom I did it for! Monetary gains are small but the joys you get are big! It stirs creativity and makes you think , how can I do this , it is like solving a puzzle on how can I change the zipper without destroying the original stitching or how can I alter the waistline without touching the darts below. All requires thinking and patience. In fact doing alteration is more difficult than making a totally new item. So hope you will appreciate this trade, it is something really good and useful to us all!
