Bunga comel pillow

I rarely get sick, maybe 2-3 times a year. But the worst part is, the duration of my sick time.. It would take a week at least to recover..Today I took few medicine :for colds, cough, and sore throat....now i feel very dizzy..might because of the cough syrup..i hope i'll recover soon..ASAP! Anyway.. no excuse for me to blog about craft thingy that I've done last weekend. Still remember the flower petal pillow that I made for my friend,Sue? Well..this one almost the same as before but  i change the design. instead of one big bloom flower in the middle, I created 3 small flowers. i really love the outcomes! Ermmhh...dizziness is controlling me now!...bye..

day curtain for my H-A-L-L

Within 2hrs, I completed my day curtain. I used quite cheap but beautiful lace fabric where you can get it at NAGOYA for RM2.80/m. Furthermore, the lace design is something that I could considered as my ideal combination for my dear curtains. hehehe..Enough said...please have a look!

 I like it very much!

 I like it even more!

 Very happy with the outcome! happy sewing everyone!

My H-A-L-L curtains

This has become my curtains for almost 5months. Kesiankn? Especially dengan penyepit baju kayu tue. Kena pulak pakai masking tape konon2nya nk bg 'curtain tue KUKUH pertahanannya.Sadis betul...huhuhu...but anyway...thanks a lot my dear cotton fabric! Bought them at Penang few years back. RM2/mtr. Jasamu sgtlah dikenang!

Ever heard about this name? Mestilah kn..glemer tue... Once in a while I will go there..selalunya x membeli pn... harga tersangat canntiiikkkkk... tgk kain pn dh tau...rasa diri ni x mampu nk beli kain chantik chantik itu.. melainkan kalau ada sale...SALE BANJIR ke...SALE JATUH MENJUNAM ker... SALE GILA-GILA ke..baru ler mampu untuk membeli...menang membeli menang memakailer katakan...heheh.

Oklaaa...back to my curtain story.... me n hubby dgn jayanya membeli kain di Jakel dgn harga yg sgt berpatutan...kain pn mmg jenis lawa..x tau kenapa melampau sgt harga yg diturunkan...kain ni pilihan hubby sbenarnyer..dia yg terperasan kain tu dulu... when he showed it to me, then only I realized it was a gorgeous fabric...nampak mahal tp dull cktlaa...kaler biru-grey-brown... adeh..bertambah biru lg ler hall ktrg ni.. Refer bwh yer few photos taken by him...

kain langsir RM5 semeter.. harga asal RM18++... percaya tak? Beli 25M for all panels. Bykkan?

my dear tolong buat tanda...hehehe....thank you,my dear!

Adegan tarik-tarik.....sebab kain gorgeous sgt, terpaksalah tarik salah satu benang dr kain tue utk buat garisan..boleh nampak kan ada line kt situ?

bila dah ada line, barulah process memotong kain bermula...puas hati giler biler dapat menggunting straight line. Agaknyer kalau ada ujian gunting garis lurus, saya yg menang kot...

kain yg sudah siap dibahagi2kan ikut area... hall sliding doors 3x3m. Master Bedroom 3x3m. 2nd bedroom 3x2.5m. 3rd room...??? balance dr 25m kain tue..hahha..actually tak tau lg nk design mcm mana utk 3rd room.

Seronok sbb boleh guna serger machine yg bru dibeli....mmg berbaloi...thx Sol for selling this machine to me..hopefully Sol x menyesal tau.heheheh

Sewing the bias tape...niepn beli kt Jakel... std harga rasanyer..RM0.50 per meter.Ke tempat lain lg murah?

Ermmh...I think it only took 3-4 hrs to complete sewing this sliding door curtains. exclude all wajib time -makan,minum,taking nap, termenung,..blablabla..Sedar2 jer dah insertkan hook kt curtain tue..

Tadaa......my new sliding door curtain!I am indeed very satisfied with what I've sewn. Horray! Next entry, I'm going to continue with the making of day curtain pulak...kain x beli lg..tp dh terbayang dh nk pky kain jenis apa..definitely in white/cream colour. Happy sewing!

mini cathedral window quilt

Dear YOU...

Sorry for ignoring you for the past few month. My never ending work at office keeps me away from you. The only thing that I could come up is this cathedral window quilt. I did it last weekend-Sunday. It still in progress. Another type of quilt. Took few hours to complete it.

Ermmhh...my post is too short...sorry guys!

my too small pinky short

I know...just by looking at my post title, you will definitely know that this short is not my size actually. But anyway, I had fun sewing the pieces together . Here you go..my simple yet easy to sew but too small for me -pinky short!

front view

hehehe..just a zoom view for the pocket that I made for this short.

inner view

It comes with pockets for both side and I use french seam technique to finish this short. Definitely will sew more and more in future but with the correct size for me.

Happy sewing,everyone!

my mostly blue quilt

Erkk..it looks so gloomy in here...hehehe...anyway, let start with introduction 1st..about 'what should i with the fabric?' well..my original idea was to make shorts or boxers.. but then I realized this lovely 100% cotton is suitable for quilt too. So, my second idea was much more exciting to do than the short. So, here you go.. my 2nd baby quilt. I can say that 40% goes to sewing machine..and another 60% goes to hand stitching. That is why this project came a bit late from my schedule. And I hope that the owner of this quilt will like it too. Well..obviously I wish her mum will like it 1st, then only she will give it to her baby girl .It's for you, my dear niece..Roselle Usun!

i want this quilt to have pillow look design. That is why you can see a lot of face hand stitching on it. And it looks puffy too!

I bought all these fabrics from Nagoya except for the gorgeous blue-dotted one. Bought that one from Lian-Lilstitchy!

duration for me to complete this hand-stitching? Almost a month(lazy+no mood+ itchy-finger due to needles).Penat wei! At one point I said to myself, just gave up this hand-stitching-change to machine! use sewing machine! It's easier! but then..ermmhh..i guess my passion for hand stitching are still there..i continued and luckily for me... it's finally done!

there you go another 'renyah' work...wait till u see them completely.

hahah..my another flower creation. glad that it turn out the way i want it to be!

Happy Sewing,everyone!

my january reversible skirt

Hope it's not too late for me to wish HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010! live long, live strong, and live happy! Anyway..here is some notes on my 2010 resolution:

1. Atleast 1 sewing project monthly
2. ermhh..tutorial for some of my own projects, perhaps?
3. Updates my not so called active-perfect blog frequently.
4. Meeting lots n lots crafter friends all around the world!

So..here we go. My 1st project! My january reversible skirt. First of all.. I would like to give credits to Kara from Sweet & Salty for sharing her tutorial about her gorgeous girly twirly skirt. You may check out her blog to see her tutorial. Pretty easy! And i was inspired from her blog when I want to do this version of mine. Thanks a lot, Kara! The only different is I have to double the amount of fabrics.
I made 2 pattern for this skirt. And of course it's not for me..hihihih..I can say that it took only 2.5 hours to sew this skirt ( in total 5 hrs for both) and I'm proud of it. Never thought that I can finish it very fast! Here you go..my 1st handmade for this new year 2010! And sorry..tutorial is not available for this one yet. hehe..

to push 2 elastic bands together was the hardest part....phewhh.......but...

I'm so happy with the ending!
reversible,right?
another reversible view.

i adore both of them!

Happy sewing everyone!
