My 1st Sewing Project

Little girl's modern dance teacher has requested for a black legging as 1 of her costume at the soon coming pre-school concert. I'd been searching high & low for it, there r plenty of purple, white & pink but couldn't get 1 black at all. At last, I managed to get it at Anakku, The Curve, a very simple, bare & expensive legging =>

It is so basic looking and I'm afraid little girl won't wanna wear it again after her concert

I promised little girl I'd do some magic on the legging, and I got these:

Pink color lace,

a rope of sparkling 'diamonds'

and 4 sparkling crystal buttons

Thus, with a few hours of 'ouch' (needle poking on finger), 'ooh man' (thread was straggled into knob), 'hai' (sewed at the wrong place) and .... (holding breath while sewing) I managed to get this =>

Doesn't it look much girlie & pretty now comparing to the 1st photo

A closer view, I'm so proud of myself ;p


P/s Little girl wear it to her modern dance class today, there r ppl asking me where did I buy the legging, see, it'd turned into an eye catching legging, I tell them where I gotta it and proudly announce that I added the lace myself, hehehe....
