world to chat while our hands busy sewing................ yes, sewing............ She really is sewing now and she showed me her swollen thumb and scorched hand..... poor girl..... but it is typical of her.... an accident prone!!!!!
When I left the craft hall that day my bag looked like this. With long strands of cords dangling. Mostly the dark colours showed, since I have used most of the lighter one to make the bag body. That was supposed to be the length of our little hand bag.
he few pics taken during the class. And laid inside a lining and a pocket...I just can't wait to carry it around and farther more we have to display them at our WI booth during 
the Hari Penyayang 2010 .

Another baby set. This belongs to Puan Fazlina and she is expecting a girl.
As usual 
machine applique and quilt-in-the-ditch through out and quite lofty. The inserts for this sets are kapok. Some tiny trimming and simple design for all cases.
or hooks. By using a series of knots, many ornamental patterns are created. Macramé can be created using any kind of material. You can use fine thread to make macramé lace or even use leather strips. By a special technique, the macramé craft keeps the knots in place while the work is being done. Macramé can be tried by anyone with a passion to create with little or no experience. Even a small child can try macramé.
most demanding craft for many senior artisans and craftsman. Creation of a decorative piece using the macramé craft requires artistic skill coupled with patience. It may even take many a month to finish a complex piece using high quality macramé work with intricate design.
many beautiful design, but our assignments was to complete this beautiful handbag. Unfortunately no one could complete on time. Need an expertise to do such neat and fast work..... we will refer to our tutor once we reach certain level of our bag design and be completed fully...especially the base design..... it was quite complicated.
Polyester strapping also known as PET strapping is used when regular polypropylene strapping isn't strong enough to get the job done. Polyester strap most closely resembles steel strapping in its physical characteristics.
Polyester strapping will withstand higher tensioning than other plastic strapping up to 25% higher, with equivalent break strengths. It will retain tension on rigid loads better than other non-metallic strapping.
Quality polyester strapping is virtually unaffected by weather or ultraviolet rays. It is significantly lower in cost than steel strapping, a lot safer to use, and easier to dispose of too. Just imagine on how to get rid of steel strapping waste? Polyester strapping is also much safer to use then metal strapping since it has no sharp edges.
Considering all of the above, polyester strapping has become a wise choice as a steel strapping replacement."
From the above facts just imagine how we cut and blistered our fingers in order to learn something new in the name of crafts and we weaved something astonishingly beautiful products.
I attended this courses representing WI and was organized by the Pejabat Pembangunan Wanita Negeri Kedah, Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat which was held at their office on the 23rd - 24th April 2010.
A bundle of joy from Naiz...... 30 pieces of grandmother's flower and 2 great x-stitch and patchwork books dropped on my door step yesterday ..... simply lovely!
home. Since he has got a new toy, a gift from me on his 55th birthday and in conjunction of his retirement on the 6th of March recently, he started to list out the things to do with his new baby, THIS.............
top to house his collection of penknives when I showed him a printed picture of an accessory for my sewing room.
and later that day he gave THIS......
This was meant for ATON, the next recipient for Sampler BOM. This was posted on the 25th April, and by now definitely, Aton has received this safely.
really help a lot in reducing stress due to repeated tasks.
These needles are great for sewers with thread handling or vision challenges too. The small opening at the top of the needle allows the thread to pass through without squinting or straining your eyes. Simply draw thread down the opening, and it is threaded.
Thanks DIA .... love you true and thro'.......
It is more than two months now hubby is having his freedom and happy organising and preparing for his activities...... so far he had been to the sea to have his rusty skill polished in deep sea fishing... he had done very well. Brought back more than we could consume for two months round.
Oh, okay I understand now!
a.n.i.Q.u.e
It took me half of my day to complete this. Guess I am getting old that I almost forgot my own tutorials of this pouch..... what a shame!
I was rushing this baby set for Puan Hajjah Zaharah's (a neighbour and her second piece) new grandson, due next week.
Just some minor applique (the two little lambs and green elephant) on a white-bold for the mattress cover and tiny trimmings for the pillow cases.
