LAST ....... just awhile!

I found my long lost friend, Farah Sofiah, few weeks ago......

Few years back......we had been drifted apart and so absorbed with own activities and endless commitments. But the best thing was when she first contacted me, I was fast asleep in BK3 at about 3.25am and the message was she 'found' me through this blog..... how amazing and she placed some order for these two items....... a lappy sleeve and denim patched bag.


Maybe this will be my last sewing and shall wrap up my sewing room for the 'EID'..... (wonder if I will be able to stay away from the sewing machine that long...... :))

DENIM PATCHED BAGS AGAIN

The whole of this week will be filled with making of this bag.

I bought this light striped-denim almost seven years ago, so glad that finally I manage to make full use of all ten meters.... hope can finish the whole lot soonest possible before this coming Hari Raya.

Have done two today and few more to take care......Apart from fulfilling some customemade order I will make extra few for some close friends and relatives.

DENIM PATCH BAGS

The fasting month has always been busy with all sorts of activities from early morn till late night. Added to it my eldest (Nia) came home to celebrate this early fasting seasons with us. We had lots and lots of things to chat and lots of things to giggle about! But in between that, I never stopped doing some sewing.

(Remember my own denim patch bag! It has been snatched by a friend who admired it so much... Well, guess have to make another similar one or maybe using heavy cotton this time....)

Made these two last weekends, but the other one was gone too....YOU KNOW WHO HAD DONE IT!

Who can spot the difference here.... yes, right! One was stippled and the other was pebbled by machine.




As requested by Effa, here is the pic of the lining with pockets attached.

DENIM PATCH BAG

All this while I have been sewing bags for friends or for my little shop. I need something for myself and be proud to carry one...... Not too much to ask right? Now I own this.

The materials were from some collections of my childrens' old denim jeans, overalls, skirts, tops........ Cut, patched, quilted and here it is!

I applied the pebble-quilt for the whole bag with inner pockets on lining and a wrapped button.
