In between these dresses projects, I was also caught up with bakings birthday cakes.... travelling to Paphos, Nice and quite recently to Lake Como.... Lastly but not least was our annual holiday to home. We had such a hectic time at home, between a visit to Jakarta and Bandung and trying to squeeze an engagement party for my little sister.... Alhamdulillah, it all went well and 2 weeks after being back from KL we are still feeling down missing home.
Well, as promised, this is going to be the final part of the making of baju kurung.
1. line the pesaks and the kekek on the floor, making sure the kekek is facing the short/curve part of the pesak.
2. Draw an 'L' line 1 inch away from the outside border of the kekek.
3. Sew the pesak to the kekek following the 'L' line . It will now look like this.
4. Do the same on the other side of the pesak following the 'L' line on the kekek.
5. Now, sew the two pesaks together starting from the middle 'L' point.
6. Line the (kekek+pesak) below the sleeve on the floor making sure the widest part of the sleeve lies on top of the (kekek+pesak).
7. draw an 'L' line on the kekek.
8. Sew the bottom part of the sleeve to the pesak and kekek. End the sewing at the middle point of 'L' on the kekek.
9. now, repeat the sewing on the other side of the sleeve.
10. sew the 2 bottom parts of the sleeves beginning from the middle 'L' point.
11. Repeat point 1-10 to form the left side of baju kurung.
12. Mark the shoulder line on the sleeves.
13. Mark the shoulder line on the body part of the dress.
14. Now sew the body to the (sleeve+pesak) using the mark located on each fabric as a starting point.
15. repeat the sewing on the other side of the dress.
16. Finish the dress by hand stitching the bottom part of the sleeves and the dress with sembat stitching.
17. Congratulations.... you are finally done with making the top part of baju kurung. It is time to try it on in front of the mirror.
Yeh congrats! You've completed the series! :D
