All set for school. This is my gradeschooler in the DIY ethnic costume I made for her. To my non-Filipino readers, Buwan ng Wika means the month of Philippine national language.

This is the pretty native fabric that I used for this project. It's pink because that's my daughter's favorite color. I bought this fabric in Baguio last November. You can read my travel story HERE.

Very bad pattern. As I have mentioned before, I have no proper training in sewing or dressmaking and the only exposure I had was with my parents when I was young until the age of 7 years old.

For her accessories, I reconstructed this coconut shell necklace that I bought from Kultura. I was able to come up with a double strand necklace and 2 bracelets out of it.

As for her footwear, she wore of woven buri slippers that I also got from Kultura in SM. Now, what do you think? Did you like my daughter's simple Ifugao costume?
Wow! Very creative. My eldest also wore Ifugao costume last Monday.
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear. Did you blog about your son's outfit? :)
DeleteNot yet sis... I'll try soon. :)
DeleteShe looks very pretty in her costume! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, sis. It is as simple as it gets. Enough to bring out her cuteness. :))
DeleteIkaw na ang DIY momma, sis. As usual, ang ganda ng gawa mo at ang cute ni daughter wearing it! :)
