patchwork purse

this small clutch purse was made entirely from scraps of fabrics, that i bought from mai of okinokiyo many moons ago.

clutch untuk tok

clutch untuk tok saya. dijahit dari stash pemberian kak ayu of pondok craft. self-draught pattern dan dijahit quilt yang simple dan ditambah wooden button.



bahagian dalam ada poket untuk tok letak 'paspot'. ok, tok namakan IC tu 'paspot' heheh. bahagian penutup ada magnetic closure.

ini adalah tok kesayangan saya. she is my maternal grandma.

 

( panggilan untuk nenek bagi orang kedah adalah tok. manakala, untuk atuk/datuk pulak dipanggil tok wan @ wan )

senyuman manis menawan bangga dengan clutch pemberian cucu tersayang.
umur tok dah eighty-something. alhamdulillah masih sihat dan kuat berjalan kaki lagi. dan yang penting, tok tetap comel :)

easy-to-sew Simplicity 3557

I've got the itch to sew… for myself. Just because I’ve own the black manny now. It helps me feel that I’m a professional sewer heheww..

I bet most of u already know that I have quite a number of sewing patterns (the envelope type) that I’ve purchased last year through Lynn of SpinningSpool Shoppe, and none of them were transformed into reality eventho I have tons of sewing planned for myself .

Yeah, I like to dream big when I purchased all the patterns. Unfortunately, I have limited time, lack of energy and enthusiasm to sew for myself.

Looking at my black manny makes me feeling revitalized and I’m sewing for myself with much gusto.

I used Simplicity 3557 - View D but i made a lot of variations to it. I omitted the ties and shorten the length. And it's not a dress anymore because of these variations. It's more of a blouse now. I just love the empire-waist and princess-seams design. It's really easy-to-sew indeed. Not having a zipper makes it even easier!



it looks great on her(the mannequin), right?



However, it is not really comfortable as it's a bit tight around the armscye area. Should make it bigger, if I were to sew it again in the future. Oh, the bottom of the blouse also sangat kembang.

For some reason, I am obsessed in making my own clothes, more,more and more. Or..maybe I should complete my unfinished baju raya first-lah.

Nonetheless, this is my second piece. But still, i forgot to adjust the sleeve/armscye area* sigh*



love the elastic thread :)



birthday

9 Oct haritu Safiya genap 4 tahun. mesti nak celebrate birthday kat taska dengan kawan-kawan kan? memandangkan 9 oct hari sabtu, maka sambutan kat taska ditunda ke hari isnin 11 oct.

 antara jajan yang ada dalam party packs. owh sungguh tak berkhasiat. alaa.. sekali sekala bolehla ye.

bithday cake safiya mama lupa nak snap pic pulak. yg ni birthday cake mama haritu, ayah belikan. kali ni taknak tulih nama, nak tulih date. ada sesiapa berkongsi tarikh lahir yang sama?

a birthday gown!! made by mama with TLC

safiya loves purple. dia request baju warna purple.

last friday baru kalut pegi cari kain untuk buat baju safiya. cari kain satin sebab nak buat baju macam princess mesti kain yg shiny & glowy iaitu satin kan. unfortunately takde lace yang cantik in purplish hues. kain yang ada embroidery tu, tahu tak kain apa yang i beli?

kain curtain! to be precise daycurtain wuahahaa..

tapi bila dah jadi baju nampak cantik kan..tak nampak macam kain curtain kan..cepat cakap YES...please...

birthday princess yang dah penat nak tido pun taknak bukak baju princess dia. perasan tak, barbie pun berbaju purple jugak :)

Safiya, you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey. mama ayah adik love u ♥ ♥ ♥

Assalamualaikum wbt pretty people :)

first of all, I would like to apologise to my friends and readers, that i seems to ignore this blog for so long.

 i've found myself wrapped in post-raya mood these many days, iaitu makan-makan-makan-openhouse-kenduri kawin-tunang-merisik- makan lagi dan lagi, etc..

lepasni, insyaallah i akan jadi rajin update blog plus blogwalking if time permits, okay :)

....

 

Anyhow,

today, i am presenting..

Tadaaa...

 

new crews in my sewing studio

yang kecik tu, comot sikit badan dia. bought at discounted/best buy price rm100.
yang hitam tu pun best buy jugak, harga rm90.beli kat tempat biasa la..jalan kenanga.

 

now I have 3 mannequins(the other one is not in picture) in my ever-crowded sewing space. Over kan? ! To reduce the crowdedness, I akan simpan satu elok2 bawah katil. till then, tata!
