Oh, what a year 2021 has been!
While it has been our second year of traversing our way through the new normal, along with so many ups and downs, and still keep on moving forward to a brighter day.
Speaking of a brighter day, it has been more than a week of straight hot summer days here in Australia, and as much as I love the summer, the temperature is too much to handle. Most of the time I’ve been staying indoors, avoiding the scorching heat, even my two Siamese cats are not happy about it.
I haven’t made my year-ending post since I’ve been mostly occupied by a lot of things recently, however, I realized that it would be nice to make a recap post of all the dresses that I made last year (actually, not everything just a few pieces that I’ve documented here).
Since I moved here to Victoria, I found myself enjoying designing and making my own clothes out-of-scratch upcycling and I love it!
The satisfaction it gives me each time I finished my work is truly… orgasmic! LOL.
It has been another year in fashion, and I can’t wait to see what 2022 has in store. Wishing you all much laughter, full of love, good health, and prosperity!

That time when I became so obsessed with crocheting! DIY Crochet Rainbow Jumper (blog here)
I made this to commemorate the opening of the Gossip Girl reboot, inspiring Audrey Hope’s style. Don’t ask my thoughts about the reboot coz I wish the reboot didn’t exist at all. (blog here)
One of the dresses that I made used an old duvet. Although recently, I’ve been thinking of adjusting its length and turning it into a midi length (blog here).
Another old duvet upcycling. Don’t worry we got a better-quality duvet. These old duvets don’t fit anymore into our new bed size. (blog here)
Pantone Color of the Year 2022 - Very Peri (blog here)
That time when I bought oversized white pants from my favorite op-shop and upcycled it into a summer co-ord. Not bad! (blog here).
The first time I refashioned a men’s suit and resized the pants! This makes me look like a real baddie. (blog here).
That time when I rescued two huge bags of faux fur remnants from a lady in Facebook Marketplace (she used to make costumes). - blog here.
My love for Disney! Created this jumper co-ord using the textile I found from the charity shop and an old kid’s knitted jumper. (blog here)
Remember the famous Squid Game?! I reckon it was fate when I found this textile from the charity shops months before the Squid Game release. (blog here)
Although this dress seems like I’m ready for my flamenco lesson, yes, I do love it! (blog here)
My zero-waste fashion advocacy continues using these fabric remnants from the previous face mask project. (blog here)
I still have more than 20-pieces that I haven’t shared in my blog, however, I’ll include them in my year 2022 sustainable fashion outfit story. There is no sign of stopping in making fashionable sustainable pieces that I will cherish more.
Bisou Bisou!
Stylish and comfy. Colorful too. Love all.
ReplyDeleteThanks dear! More colorful sustainable outfits soon!
DeleteThis is so awesome! I love all of the dresses that you have made. I know I would love to make some crocheted dresses myself.
ReplyDeleteI am currently trying to make crochet summer outfits using cotton wool, and hope I could finish it on time.
DeleteWow - I actually love most of the outfits, you are really talented. Many of them reflect your positive attitude since they are beautifully colorful.
ReplyDeleteLife is too short to be monogamous on basic colors.
DeleteThat's a complete line up. It's colorful and vibrant
ReplyDeleteThanks , Adcel!
DeleteI love how playful you are when you create these outfits. They look so much fun and you look like you're having so much fun, too! What's your plan with these creations? Are you aiming to have a fashion show one day? Are you selling them? Really, I'm curious since I've read plenty of your blogs already on the dresses you've made.
ReplyDeleteHi May!
DeleteI enjoyed making clothes for myself, and although there are many of my friends telling me to sell my creations and create my own clothing brand, I feel that I am not ready for that kind of commitment. The competition is very tough and cut-throat in fashion, and I rather enjoy sharing my ideas to the world, and treasure my pieces right in my closet.
I just want to encourage many people to try upcycling and save the clothes you love, coz it is very helpful to minimize the built-up of waste.
i felt so happy browsing because of the happy colors of your 2021 creations! but i must be bias. i love the knitted rainbow the best!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I felt satisfied finishing my rainbow jumper. I feel proud that I made it.
Deleteyou make beautiful dresses. why don't you create your own line na? very creative din using same fabric in different styles.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, it will be. But not for now.
