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??

All SOLD - Scraps ohh scraps!

I have lots of kain perca. I bet others also have right?

So Im selling them. Some of them. I have yet to check my other scraps so these are the 3 packs I managed to pack, at this 5.37am in the morning.

1. Variety designs and size. All are designer cotton fabric.
2. Each at RM10 including postage. Anybody interested please email me at okinokiyo@gmail.com.

What can you make using the scraps?

• Buttons
• Wonky Patchwork Pillow like what Zura did
• Any patch items!

**Im thinking to subscribe Ottobre magazine. Please tell me is it worth?Cost is EUR 34.50
+ postage. So its like EUR34.50 + postage times 7 (plus minus) = RM280??**

What I did last weekend :D

I have a very good entry today :D

I did so many things during the long holiday I must say...

First I made this dress for Nasya. Using the red peacock fabric. Its Jennifer Paganelli's Mod Girls Peacock fabric. The one I made for Itty Bitti dress, remember? So I use the same fabric to make this dress.

Guess what?Its the same design as Nasya's birthday dress..Since the fabric has vertical designs, so I cut the pattern nicely so that the peacock will stands in the middle. She's going to wear this tomorrow at school.

Last time when she wore the green birthday dress, I think the teachers asked her, who bought it?Because after school she asked me, "Who bought this dress? You or daddy?" So I said, I didn't buy, I sew it. This time around I told her, if the teachers asked, tell them, I sew it! :D



Second, I made another dress is basically A line dress. This was suppose to be the birthday dress, but I messed it. Badly.

Why? Because first I cut didn't cut the the fabric nicely. And the peacock lost its head at the bottom right of the dress. Grrr...

Then, the neckline. Its not supposed to be like that. But because I did it badly, which I didnt even dare to take picture, so I end up using the bias tape. The normal boring bias tape..See, how lazy I am? Haha

This is suppose to be the neckline. Nice eh?But mine is not that neat. And I hate that.


The last thing is ...the best thing. The icing of the cake :D

Remember I'm in the process of doing my daughter's quilt? And I did ask in the previous entry whether I can pre-wash the batting or not?

So I WASHED it. And machine washed some more. And tadaaa....It turned out to be like hancur. Totally need to be throwed out and my husband cant stop laughing. He said how come I cannot think? I said I think and I cannot imagine it can turn out to be like that. Double grrrrrrrr...


So that was the news of the long holiday. And actually I got some more, but I will save it for another entry.

xoxo :D
