Review : My DIY Veil

Since I'm free so I wanna review on my DIY veil. It took a lot of effort to do the veil because I'm not the kind of person who know how to sew. A lot of my friends were truly amaze when I informed them I did the veil on my own. Yes, I'm proud. :P

For that, I wanna record how I did it in this blog. Hehew.

can see the top detail of my veil 

this is how it look like from behind

The bottom part of the veil actually looked better in real life. Well it took me 2 days (at night only) to complete the bottom part. Was so tired! Anyhow, I felt so happy when it finish.

So how I did it?

First, buy the necessary item:

1) The chiffon fabric - bought from Jakel at RM29.90 for 1 meter. It was 60" long. Not the 45".
2) The lace - bought from Nagoya at RM33 for 1 meter. I choose the one that got beads so that it can make my veil more sparkle.
3) The pearl beads - bought the white and peach beads. Each was 100gm (cost around RM12/100 gm). So worth it! I still have a lot left.

Second, cut the chiffon fabric

I love the D shape of veil. So I made the D pattern on newspaper. Put it on top of the chiffon fabric and set it with needles. I ask my mom to cut it ( because I'm not so good in cutting fabric). Haha.

Third, send it for border sewing
Or jahit tepi. Only cost RM1.50. So cheap!

Forth, place the patching lace
I try and error a lot before cutting the lace. After everything already set, then I cut the lace.

Fifth. sew the lace
How I sew it? I just use simple sewing method. Jelujur halus. Haha. I use only 1 thread. If use 2 threads, the patching lace will look ugly since the chiffon material is soft. If you scared the thread will broke and the lace will be out of place, no worries, you still have the beads to hold the lace.

Sixth, sew the beads
I just sew the beads anywhere I want. I like the sprinkle effect. Its easy and certainly do not need a lot of beads. And after finished sewing the beads, walla! My veil was ready to be worn!

So easy right? And it only cost RM88.40. Now you know and can do it with any color you want. So lets do another one for wedding or two maybe? Hee.

Till then. Assalamualaikum.
