A ballerina printed dress, a handmade bag and Okinokiyo-YO

I've been busy. Damn busy. Last Saturday, we went to Disney On Ice Show at Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil... As promised, Nasya wore her ballerina printed dress and [A NEW HANDMADE] handbag/slingbag!!

I made the bag a day earlier. The show was on Saturday nite and I made her handbag since Friday to that Saturday morning. And luckily she wanted to wear that bag. She put her camera and some of her mega blocks inside that bag.

Thank god because that mega blocks made her occupied when we stucked in the parking lot after the show.

The bag wasquite roomy. Its round and big - about 9inch in diameter if Im not mistaken. I didn't make any pocket inside because I found out that kids don't really need to much compartment. So they can just dump everything inside.

I planned to make an adjustable strap but I cut the strap earlier so I left with two short straps which fit her just nice. So I put only one nice length strap on the bag.

My husband commented that I should put the fusible interfacing so that the bag didnt slouch. So I will improve that in the next version. So many things to improve. I dont mind because I made it from scratch - and of course inspired from somebody else, who is YOONIE.

A short clip of Disney On Ice Opening show

So, I will show you in the next few days - the improvise version after I finished all my orders yeah?

And this week, Im busy doing these. I can say Im crazy making these. I didnt do anything other than these...Can you imagine??? I love doing the button and fabric matching. Its so tricky! I have lots of buttons, a cute nice ones..and Im happy putting it to these yoyos..LOVE IT. Can I call it Okinokiyo-Yo? Hahahaha

Im still thinking what to make with these..And I will give these for free...yeah for FREE. Generous me.. :) Im not kidding..

We'll see in next post yeah??

A girlish sunhat

This is one of my customer's sunhat. An adult sunhat :) I dont do adult's sunhat but I give this an exception because, she is my relative :)

I used same fabric for the inner layer because I dont have coordinate color fabric to match with this fabric.

Why I put this sunhat here is because I like the design. For me, its so sweet and the curves makes it so girlish.

Anyway, the sunhat already posted and hoping she likes it as much as I do!

Actually Im looking for this type of mannequin head - made from rattan to display my sunhats. I went up and down to mannequin shops but I cannot find them. Do you think I need to place order at the rattan shop??




Other option is this..Nice too right? I can make this on my own. But it will not emphasize the sunhat, am I right?


Please help.

The Ballerina Dress

Its Sunday and I made a terrible mistake - not sewing related. I wrongly booked my husband air ticket. Instead from Medan - KLIA, I booked from KLIA to Medan. Arghhh and I was worried and all I need to think of is sewing. Sewing keeps me cool and steady. Yeahh right..

So here is the Ballerina Dress.

I havent iron it yet. But still gorgeous eh? :p

A Kimono Printed Top

I sew this and this is for sale. But I havent take the whole picture of this top. It will be in my Etsy shop yeah?

For 3-4 year old girl.

A "How to Order info" *updated*

Just now I created the "How to Order" information at my sidebar >>>

So please to those who is wondering whether Im taking orders, yes, I am and please, I appreciate if you follow the steps to ease both parties.

And later I will put the steps on how to order ready made items because Im still working on it now :D.
*Ok I updated already SOME of them. I re-open my Etsy shop with the aprons in the store. Do email me for the price in RM yeah?*

I have one big (I think its big :p) announcement to put here. Soon..Watch my page yeah?

Thanks people!

Another scraps product

Hi peeps,

Guess what, this is the other end product of my scraps. I dont know how to explain but I can tell that doing uneven size of these patches is quite tricky. This patches has 1001 stories behind :)

And I think I did it nicely :p especially the zipper part. Im a beginner in zipper attaching skills but hey, its neat!! Since I dont have the invisible zipper foot, I used the normal zipper foot to attached the invisible zipper and compared with the rest of pillows in the house, Im satisfied. :)

Happy Wednesday!

More scraps and a finished product!

So after the previous post, my inbox was ambushed with lots of email until I was tired replying them all. But at the same time Im happy to reply those emails.

Why, because I never thought that my scraps can sell. I got lots ok. Lots like boxes of them. So there, I sat down on the floor and look for the scraps - the nicer and still-can-be-used-scraps and straight away packed them in packets. So those who have been asking and reserved, all are done, please email me all your address, Im going to the post office tomorrow...

My husband is not working, he extended his leave till end of the week and he said "who wants to buy all your trash huh??" I said many people! And we can do many things out of it! We just need to be creative right?? Men....


So, I picked some of them, and did this. My very own pin cushion! A small pillow. All this while I've been using the blue container and many times all my needles and pins fell down and lots of them going to the bin..


I used 6 pieces of 3 inches squares and backed with a printed fabric..


Done! Easy peasy right??
