ROSE WRIST POUCH

Finally I have some lovely fabrics to substitute my little red cherries for the wrist pouch....

Today I strolled round town to get some suitable fabrics, and found an english roses and abstract designs. Return home and produced these little beauties ... 3 completed to my surprise.

These are for my daughter DARR's blog. She manages my little shop (I neglect my shop for quite sometimes). Many more to sew and decide to concentrate on this design and give a priority.

CHERRY POUCH LAST PIECE

This is my last piece for the cherry fabric and it is for a dear friend and I shall post it to her very soon, hoping that she is happy to receive this little gift.

It seems that I have known her for ages and we always give some positive comments and encouraging words regarding our passions on sewing. She is very talented and strive for her best in whatever her ordeal in her craft world... I love her courage.


Who is that lucky girl....... Could it be you? I know I have to be fair to all.... I am trying and everyone has a chance, just sooner or later.

WI CRAFTS ACTIVITIES

Enrolled myself to the Women Institutions (WI), a non-government-organization, since I came back to stay at Alor Setar. A lot have I learned and gained from this society whereby we move mostly for charity and fun raising activities.

The projects that we did last weekend was about crafting namely decoupage, molding and patchworks and occupied the whole day.

Actually we learned the basics of how-tos only. The rest have to be our own creativity and by next month during our annual meet we have to display our crafty works and a small reward will be given to the most creative projects.

Well, ladies start using your magic fingers........!

CHERRY POUCH AGAIN!

This is another of cherry wrist pouch which was done by our dear Balkhis. She bought the kits quite sometimes ago, but finally she managed to get it sewn last weekend over my sewing room.

I know she has a long list of fans waiting for this pouch.... Well done Khis!

Finished off 1/2 meter of this gorgeous fabric with 4 same designs .... and left me nothing..... to call my cherry pouch.... Bye cherry!

Look at her! She will never let go of her new pouch, even during the photo shoot.... eh?

SELVAGED TREASURES

Can't wait to post here the outcome of the hexagon treasures that I found about a few months back. After few trials I finally decide that I should distribute the flowers evenly because there are not enough flowers with the same fabrics or design, and it looked scattered and very busy.

Although in the first place I thought I could maintain its original design... I just could not get a satisfaction for not distributing it even and wisely... I used up all the flowers and add up 2 sets more to make it into this single quilt top.

Anyway here goes the almost done piece.... yet to add the edges which was half way through. Very much hope that I can get it complete the soonest as promised......!

MOFSD Items of The Day - handmade bags

March 12th, 2009

Filed Under: Fashion • MOFSD Items of the day

Tags: button my buttons • mezzo

Handmade bags. I’m always at awe at people who can sew, seriously. They are uber talented I can sew a button and maybe a torn skirt but that’s it. Even so, it is not the best stitch, crooked here and there. Respect those who can sew and are actually showcasing and selling their items. Today’s MOFSD Items of the day would be handmade bags. I remember writing about Shambijoux's handmade clutches earlier last year and it was a hit. she had too many orders, even I didn’t get any clutch :(

Fret not, we have other alternatives now. Today we will showcase 3 other bag designers who really are hardworking and diligently sewing these cute little bags for us.

Rainbows Republic Bags

CALENDAR QUILT CHALLENGE - FEBRUARY

My February piece has the same concept as before. Since Feb, has only 28 days in a month, I have my one piece bigger than the rest to have a good square throughout considering the same number of days (have yet to include the frame around the block). I choose shades of green since February had done so much in my life, just to cool and tone it down........

MY BABY CAME HOME

Lately I was a bit slow and not much sewing had been done due to the absence of my baby. It was being sent for services and just came back today after about two months of being admitted to ICU for major operations.....

Love this old beauty so much, even though lately she could not run at high speed and I had spend so much in keeping her in good health. But still love her dearly since twenty years ago.....being so faithful to me and be my good companion since then.

Wonder if I should let her rest now....... but I have so much things to sew...... and need her services more than the rest..... (she has few siblings down her that could accommodate better services).

Well, as had planned before I think I will take her to BK3 to stay with my kids and have a good rest ...... and wait there until my return!

HAND PAINTED GIFT

Today I received this wonderful gifts from an Artist friend, ZAKIA of ARIZA-CRAFT all the way from Kajang. She draws and paints very beautifully and really admire her talents. Lately she fell in love with quilting...... may be she could be a great quilter as well.

Zakia, thanks a lot for the lovely gifts.

She hand painted the tissue wooden box with hydrangeas and lovely roses and also a little gift (wayang kulit bookmark) from Jakarta. Thanks, once again Zakia...do keep in touch!
