Another ballerina fabric

So I passed that previous ballerina fabric because I'm scared the fabric - linen blended is not suitable for Nasya. I forgot that she is a sensitive skin girl and last time she got rashes when I put her a shantung silk dress..

So I find in Etsy another ballerina fabric. And this time around is a 100% cotton! It has Eiffel Tower prints, the merry go round, and the shoe - why you call it? And the seller has in 2 shades, pink and grey. So guess which one I buy? :D


On the other note, today is Nasya's 3rd birthday. I didnt managed to finish the dress I made for her. Bad mommy because of some other commitment comes in between. But I will try by today. She wears the same green Heather Bailey's print today in the school with her Mickey Mouse cake.

Hope she is happy. I think she is, because she was smiling ears to ears when I saw her this morning.

Its pretty rite?

To buy or not to buy

I was browsing fabric in the Etsy shop and I found this one yummy fabric. I wanted to buy it so badly but its a Japanese import fabric and its linen blended. And that pause me. I never buy a Japanese-linen blended fabric. So I dont know whether is it ok to make a dress using linen blended fabric? Is it hot?Is it thick? I cant imagine..


The print is so irresistable because my little one is so into dancing nowadays. She must be so excited if she knows Im making a dress for her using this print. But that comes back to my question, is it ok to make a dress using linen blended fabric?

Help. :)

Happy Sunday!

Birthday Girl in action

Im not a good baker. Meaning that I can bake but then its not consistent. Sometimes it turns out good and sometimes its .... :p But still eatable..

So when I fall in love in sewing last year, I set in my mind that, in every Nasya's birthday, I will sew her dress. I will do one no matter the quality :p but I will make sure I will improve the quality form time to time.

Her last year birthday, I made an A line dress - I will find a picture of that..and I feel proud eventhough I was so lack in sewing skill..but still I did it!

So here is her 3yo birthday dress..using Heather Bailey print..will make another one..but still thinking what kind of design should I go for.

This birthday girl busy playing with bubbles and ignoring other people.

Why I said its too big, because the neckline is a bit wide for me. But bigger dress meaning bigger space for her and she can run wild in it. So, I will improvise, making a just nice dress for her for another bash..

Nasya's Birthday Dress

I am laughing while typing this entry because I heard my Nasya talks to her uncle - my bro. It was funny because she mixes her Malay and English words until my bro keeps asking what is this?What is that?Haa??What do you mean?

I am at my parents house. We had a birthday celebration in the evening. It was fun and damn tiring. I ate lots of cakes and cookies and ice cream and drink lots of ice eventho I got sore throat because the weather is so hot! We had lots of balloons, bubbles and water balloons too!It was F-U-N!

Speaking of birthday, I remember I mentioned in previous post that I want to show the birthday dress...so here it is...

The dress is bit too big for her, but I dont make another replacement. Just let her wear it. Its suppose to have kind of elastic thread at the bottom but I like it this way.

I dont know why..I think I am not that good in selecting floral fabric. Its hard to find myself adoring the floral fabric I bought.I may not good as Zura where I found all her floral fabrics gorgeous. Why?Because I think the dress didnt turn out well..I dont know..Is it because of the design?Or the print?

Ok so what do you think? I will post another pic when she was wearing it during her bash. And she will be having another bash on the birthday date itself on 9th Feb at her nursery. Yeah, this is an advance birthday bash for her hehehehe...

* Some updates *

I dont know what happen to me but then I find it hard to share so much here since so many people taking advantage on me. It so frustrated. I know that life is not fair but then, having a bit of humane feeling- is not that hard.

So, Ive been working on our new products. Hope to upload it by tonite if the internet connection is good. My husband has been helping me doing some photo editing and I need to line up few more items so that he can take picture of those.

Not that I dont want to take the photos but then he is my QC checker and keep rejecting my photos and asking me to use the semi DSLR camera which I dont know how to use. And even using the auto function, the photos still come out blur. :p

On the other note, valen-tine day and CNY is around the corner.I dont know whether I should make something which is love-related or red-color-related but then some people already come out with their products weeks before. Please check out www.azgiftbaskets.com.my because her CNY baskets are TDF. Or maybe I shuld say all her baskets. Seriously. I saw it with my two eyes people!!

Ok..so tomorrow will be my last day in KL. I will be away to my parents hometown until next Sunday. I will be posting Nasya's birthday dress..Its done but still thinking to make another one..ha ha ha

Amy Karol book and a rotary cutter

Last Saturday I brought my mother in law to my favourite shop in PJ to buy some sewing tools. We bought rotary cutter each and I as usual bought some fabric :p

That Amy Karol book is finally mine. I got it this afternoon at Kinokuniya KLCC :D Love the book and I have plan in mind what to do for this week activity.

So that is the new book of 2010. Whats next?
