Bag Pouch

For my friend’s birthday, i bought her a present that didn’t come with the plastic or something to cover. So i made this bag pouch that double function as a gift wrapper and  tote bag itself. I made it reversible so she can wear it whatever color she moods in. Luckily i had the fabric color that match with the gift.

 

Sewing Dress

This is my first sewing project. I follow the shape of my fave dress to make patterns, and voila, it was quite success. Blogland make me try something creative. And i love handmade.

I did quilting

This is what i make for my 1st quilt project. Actually i’m not so fans of quilting. Since i put some quilting blogs in my google reader, it made me curious, to do that, even only once. I saw the mug rug project, which is fun and quick, but i did little bit bigger than mug rug. I made it in placemat size. I know i wouldn’t make placemat, 4-6 repitition items? come on…. not now. Well, i wear it for my praying mat.

 

 

 

 

i picked some of my batik fabrics (from amesh),  then did the simple and easy pattern. Quilting was fun, but binding, was another story, quite frustrating, especially in the corner section, even i already watched binding instruction from youtube. Oww.. and i liked the backside.

Pinterest, when you have your own pinboard

Have you heard Pinterest ? This is the place where you can make your own favorite board in digital area. It’s so fun. When you login, they will give you Pin symbol, that you can put it in the every images on your monitor. The best is, it goes straight to the source. So we didn’t steal the picture from everybody website.

This is my board, have a look and have your own board.

Hello Again…

How long i’ve been away? quite long am i little surprised that the wordpress had some changes. There are writing helper section now.

I am here, i mean, i read blog everyday, my google reader had lots of item that i love to read everyday. I read them everywhere. But i didn’t open wordpress. I didn’t take lots of pics nowadays, but i took some of them.

I did some interior projects, i did some crafts, sewing and crochet. There were sometime that i stayed on my craftroom whole weeks, picking fabrics and sewing something.  My hubby got unhealthy for a couple week, so i took care of him. We had holiday, with the big family, (summer holiday–i’ll posting the picture soon)

Well. I am here now. Collecting the blogging spirit.

Placemat for lunch

My recent project. Easy, simple, and useful. As a placemat and utensils keeper. Roll them up, and ready for school.

Sewing: CD Case

Wow… my craft’s mind really jiggling up, i made two things in a row. I just made CD Cover, pattern from One Yard Wonder book. As usual, i can’t see the blank thing, so i put my crochets.

Sewing Book Cover

I had these book that i need to cover it. I don’t like the old cover, made from bulky pink+purple fake lather. Yiekkkss, not to mention that i didn’t like those colors, I did, but the combo was really big-no-no.

So i made my version. This is my first time sewing with bias tape. I must admit, it’s difficult. Really difficult. But i loved the result.
