Cute as a button
My first button used so far... I made Maya her pants, since her pants has worn out and a bit tight. This time I'm using an applique flower design on it. I used the scraps of fabrics that Rhonda gave meMonday, July 13, 2009
East meets West
I miss attending this one... hahaha.. busy with my sewing machine... to finish up the night reception..I was only given their picture too, so that I can guess how exactly they look like physically.

This is the back side ... the ribbon was a bit short, since the organza fabric is limited.. and I have no more time to go out to buy more.. This is the only length I got.. But, no fear.. I had bought for standby.. rolls of organza ribbons.. In case anything happen..
Haaah.. This is HARD! For me ... you should feel the softness of the fabric... veryyy soft...needs extra carefull ya... and hard to handle..heheh(mind my lazyness, I didn't get it ironed before taking pics... sleepy oredi)

This is the skirt... arrghh.. how on earth did I take this photo.. can't really see how it looks like exactly... I'll take the photo again when we get this back...
This is my old post.. the Baju Kurung Modern
And the skirt..
This is my man's batik shirt... Cool.. 1st time makin men's shirt.. not so bad..
Hah! This is the hardest one! Men's slack... If my hubby asked me to make one for him again.. I'd rather buy..
It has sooo many itsy bitsy parts .. pockets, waist bands, fly.. arrrrghhh... why do men need all this thing??
A baju Melayu Cekak Musang... this also needs a lot of patience & tidyness..
And.. lastly.. this is not in the module, but since I have spare time after I finished up my modules, I helped out the full-time students there to sew a nurse's uniform. Although I didn't manage to draft pattern & cut material.. at least I get the chance to sew the tops.

Mischievous borrower
No.. no.. this dress is not hers.. I just put it on her to test out the size if she fits.. Actually this dress was made for Aishah, Neneth's lil girl. She was assigned to be a flower girl for Neneth's sister's wedding.
I made two pairs.. another one is for her cuz Balkis, 7yrs old. I'll see if I can get their real pictures wearing it...
Luckily I have one model who can test it out to see if there is anything wrong with my cuttings.
Gold satin with cream colored waist band... matched with satin roses made from the same fabric.. I will make this similar flower girls dress some time soon for my best friend wedding, Cilla. So far this style is still a favourite...

Damages done
THis is what will happen.... when damages done... cry me a river!!!!!!!!
Its not mine actually... it belongs to a friend of mine name Tweety Tandhoori Sanggam.. who was too lazy to iron her own clothes... and asked her kitty cat to iron her precious Churidhar dress.... see... I told ya.. never to trust a cat Tweety Bird!!Luckily the damaged part was only the pants. There was only 2-3 spots of cracks on the fabric. I was supposed to hand sew it, but the fabric was too fragile, I was a bit worried it will get worst if not handle carfully. Finally, my problem solved.. my Janome MC350 saves my life.

So i was thinking of putting an iron on fusible fabric on the inside to secure the fabric from breaking off.

FInally ... Tada!!!!!! This is how it looks like after the "cover-up". Luckily I have flower designs which is quite similar to the embroidered top design.
Modern Baju Kurung
I made this "Baju Kurung Moden" during my dressmaking class at Giat Mara. I'm so happy I can now draft my own bodyfit pattern, (although I cannot fit into tight fitting garments of course), now I have learned how to make proper measurement & draft a pattern. Just the very basic... But with this little basic, I hope I can do more style in future.. Still got a lot to learn!
The skirt has fan pleates at the back. On top of that, I have learned to make skirt with semi-elastic waist bands at the sides. Very interesting technique indeed. I never made this before you know... All this while I can only make an elastic-all-around-waist skirt. At least now.. I can do nicer waist bands... with hooks.
As for the neck opening, I don't know what do you call this shape.. some say its a "sweetheart" neck. Not that easy with this very silky thin & hard-to-handle fabric... I guess I'll just have to learn the hard way... in case if I were to sew satin dress.. at least I have done my practice.Tuesday, April 14, 2009

Iron not for sale

My completed 3rd block
See what I bought recently during an exhibition here at my office building.. Its an iron! Not ordinary iron.. Its tiny.. but it can iron any materials without getting it burnt!.. It was said to have some chip inside that can detect the right temperature for any fabric.. Even if you forgot leave the iron hot on your fabric.. it will never burn.. But yet.. no pressure needed.. just sprinkle a bit of water... It will smoothen your fabric.. just like ordinary iron..
THis is Noah's ark... heheh.. its a wooden iron... for kids..! NO LAH! This is.. i dunno what its called.. but its meant for holding (weights) your fabric from slipping off while ironing those slippery fabrics. It works best if you were ironing seams, or anything that difficult to hold while ironing.. Cool eh?? It is special made my a profesional carpenter.Local Open Market for Malaysian crafters

Ugly Hands

Well.. I made this silly BOX!!
p/s: Jaja.. I need you!!!
I told my self last night.. I'm not going to make any box anymore!!!! "Susah la wehh..!"
Silly but pretty box isn't it?? Wah.. proud of myself of getting this big box done! A bit messy and not really nicely done.. but I don't care.. as long as it can fit my special gift for a couple who is getting married today.. I'm going to their wedding tonight..
See what I've made last night.. Of course a last minute work.. I never thought of any gift yet until yesterday, I got the idea of buying a pair of bathtowel & bedsheets... as a wedding gift..The only thing that makes it special is the embroidery part "Selamat Pengantin Baru, Izz & Imah" which means Happy Wedding to Izz & Imah. Nice??
Good enough for me.. at least I got my experiencing ruining my hands too! Any way I can remove this stain from my hands?? Help!!Thursday, March 26, 2009

DIY Photo frame
How is it? Nice?? hahahahah...How did I make it?? Maybe you want to do your last minute photoframe yourself... Here are some informal tutorial or the making of...
1. Get a box or cardboard or what I use here is a Mounting board (thanx to Jaja who introduced me to this alien thing.. Never knew they sell this.. Jurra was so ignorant about this craft thingy)
2. Cut 2 pieces of your prefered size, 1 piece cut into a frame like shape above.
3. Prepare your fabric (sorry I dun have exact measurement cos I just simply cut as long as it can cover the frame).
4. I cut into 4 stripe, and then I sew it together to form the 4-sides

5. Then..opss I missed one picture -- I cut some leftover 6mm sponge to make a cushion at the front of the frame. Glue it to the frame.
6. Next, put the fabric on top of the sponge, glue it to the back side.
7. Yucks.. glue is so messy.. I wish I had a glue-gun.. I guess it will make my life easier..
8. For the back frame, I sew the fabric around like a bag and then turn it inside out.
9. Slide in the back board inside the fabric case & glue to cover the openings.
10. Embelish the corners with lace or anything you fancy. I used lace for the border.. and lil rose buds and butterfly to make it a bit alive...!
11. Lastly, stick together the front & the back frame with super glue.. so that it wont come off
12. Remember to attach a handle to it, any string or ribbon can do... So that you can hang it.
AND TADA!!!!
Don't forget to put your very most gorgeous picture inside!!
Happy Belated Birthday SHEILA!

A "Nyonya Jual Sayur" Hat

I'm supposed to make a hat for Maya, cos she must wear a hat whenever we go out. I guess she's used to it.. Tried to hunt for readymade hat.. but can't find any.. perhaps no other toddlers in KK wears a hat like Maya..
I dont have patterns on hats.. so i just imitate a picture of a hat from a magazine... It works alrite... BUT.. its tooo big for Maya.. It covers half her face..hehehe... I'll have to make another one that can fit her now.. I will keep this for next 6 months... she'll fit by then I hope.

Didi's 3 beautiful princess
I feel honoured when the dress I made has been worn by the "superstars". The 3 dresses was initially ordered from Mrs Badak as a X'mas gift for her friend Didi to her 3 adorable girls. How are you? I am Didi, Jocelyn's friend, who is Mommy to the three Girls whom you made beautiful dresses for last Christmas.
My Children absolutely loved the dresses as it made them feel like Princesses. My Youngest One didn't want to take the dress off ever! Jo and I had to tell her that it was to wear for the very special occasion of Christmas before she wanted to take it off.
Attached with this email are photos of the dresses as worn by my Girls. I've also included a photo of them wearing the dresses at a stage performance during the Gaya Street Christmas Carnival. We decided they were so beautiful that they were perfect for the stage show.
Thank you again for all your expertise. The dresses truly are a delight to wear.
Enjoy!
Best regards,

A gift from a new friend
Strawberry Lunch Bag
No matter what.. I still need to finish my Epal projects ASAP too!.. Yeah.. too many commitments.. But I enjoyed it...
This is it... I finally got it done yesterday.. It has a bag, with a water bottle tote & a mat with pocket. Cute isn't it.. But the color supplied for this kit was a bit dull I might say... I was hoping for a cuteeee pink & red color... but... arrghh.. what the heck.. its the learning process which is more important.. You can be more creative when you make your own next time..
The inside of the bag, i love the pocket too!Monday, January 5, 2009

Apple Green Diaper Stacker
Hmm.. sorry about my hp camera is starting to get nasty.. The pics are not like the real WUSIWUG.. Its supposed to be a bright apple green in color. Although it is bright, it is still sweet, as the white background blends the color to be bit more softer.I hope the "mom-2-b" loves this gift from Sindut. According to Sindut, she (the mother to receive this gift) loves this type of green. ( I hope)

Janome is the brand
The course is mainly on the marketting plan and learn the know-how of some of Janome machine.
These are the 3 projects done during the course which uses the MyLock 744D & MC6500. Too bad we didn't had the chance to do a hands-on MC11000, as the machine was not at KK Centre at that time..Some people may be confused that Janome is the sewing machine brand, Epal is the Creative Craft Learning Centre and Mostwell Sdn Bhd is company that run this biz. I really enjoyed being an EPAL member, cos its fun to do the free courses plus interesting projects.. and I can earn more from it..
So I am now an agent... (hehehe .. is that for real).. I sell sewing machines...Upon completing the 1 day course, I received my certificate of attendance. My first cert from Mostwell Sdn Bhd. I'm very new to EPAL, I've been with EPAL since end of July, only 4 months.. but I learn quite a lot!.
And the most important thing is.... I get some $$$ ... This is my 2nd cheque.. I forgot to get a snapshot of my 1st cheque that reached RM500++. How do I get the $$ from?? Its all in the effort.. i received bonus commision my sales.. and some of it is only bonus from the stuff I bought from Epal. I don't loose a thing from every cents I spent at Epal, as I will have bonuses in return.
Wanna know more? You know where to find me..

Learning starts from ZERO
I took my machine in front of the tv, as I know I can never get things done if I wait till she asleep. I want to train her to get used to see me sewing & control her not to disturb my work.
Wow.. she has good sense of imitating my work...
Yeah.. she sits on my lap when I was sewing. Although its a bit distracting.. but I do enjoy doing it with her... Not all the time.. but at least she had the exposure..
Customized Diaper stacker
Full view of the diaper stacker
*sigh* .. what a relieve.. I did it!!
I also made zippers for the opening part of the diaper stacker... I wanted to make a crochet flower that holds the zipper handle.. but not enough time.. So I put the roses buds instead...

Project of the month
Is that an excuse for my laziness to do embroidery or beading on my handmade clock? To tell you the truth.. I have no patience in beadings.... I only managed to made number "3" using Japanese beads... and how about the rest?? err... let those people learn how to read the time with no numbers...
Next project for November -- Bedsheet! Again.. a touch of patchwork again.. but a different technique.. I'll show you how its done.. and how tedious it is to sew up 1,516 pieces of square blocks!! Wanna bet how long I can take to finish this.. Only God knows..!Wednesday, November 12, 2008
Frilled skirt
Guess who was "perasan" trying to wear this skirt... who else.. Maya was jealous to see this skirt and wanted to wear it .. I didn't get to take her pic.. The skirt was high above her chest.. but the frills had made her feel "I'm a princess !! " I hope I can get her pics from my niece..Thank you Snazzy&Such
I received a tote bag, a fat quarter flowery fabric, a few beads, buttons, a roll of pink ribbon & Australian Homespun magazine.. cool eh??
hah! THis one is not free... I bought it from Snazzy&Such too. Polyfil fiber.. Hmm.. what do I do with this next? You'll see..Monday, November 10, 2008

Lipstick

This chalk is refillable, it has a nozzle at the tip works like the tracing wheel, and the powdered filling will mark on to your fabric when you roll it.

More of MyLock744D creations

Now this patchwork design is great... with additional roses bouquet made by Janome MyLock744D . The roses really stands-out on top of the patcwork.. great design.. I must try one!
Hah.. this is the simplest patchwork from scrap fabric.. Simply cut your sraps... sew it together with MyLock744D... and once you open up the 2 fabric ... tada... patchwork done.. You don't even have to use your sewing machine to stitch up the fabrics... the serging machine can do all the work. Same goes to the frills... with just additional presser foot.. can simplify your work.
A nice applique technique... also by using Mylock744D

This is my baby Janome MyLock744D.. I never thought it can make frills like this?
This is another feature that MyLock744D can do... sewing beads, piping & patchwork... Can your serging machine do this??
Thanks to Epal who organised this beneficial workshop for all VIP members who has bought this serging machine in effort to educate them on the multiple function of this special machine.
This is my new friend Mas & me (right).
Other VIP members participating in the workshop.

Full view of my placemat I made from the workshop, made of simple cotton fabric, fusible web, piping tape with string and gold string beads. All made by MyLock744D serging machine...!

October Project - Sailboat Wall Hanging
Don't laugh yaa.. this is my first attempt... and I have cut the material wrong! Not all.. but I spoilt 2 pieces.. I'd replaced one.. but as for the 2nd mistake, I can't afford to buy another RM28 per meter of American Cotton.. so I just continued with what I have with the help of my tutor. Only had to make a few adjustment & modification...
*SIGH*

Curtain with scalop
Wow.. my first scallop curtain! I learnt it at my Epal class for September project.. I was suppose to make a matching round table cloth... with matching cushion cover.. Unfortunately the material supplied was ugly..! Not suitable for my small side round table... So I made a different fabric instead.. (sorry forgot to take pic)

Lady Boutique
Found this at the newstand a few days back... Actually I took the risk of buying this magazine cos again its Japanese and sealed! I can't even flip thru before buying..
Quite nice women attires... I should try some.. as I never liked sewing adults apparel.. Cos I have very small space in my sewing room.. and adult dresses are too "grande" for me..
So I decided to try out drafting a pattern for my friend Ulai... She'll be a bridesmaid this coming October.. And she can't find any tailor that can accept her order due to Eid Fitri is just around the corner.. Pitty her...! She begged me to make one for her.. as she is really in a very "desperate" mode.. hehehe.. So.. even though I have many projects due in a few days.. I try my best to squezzzzze my schedule just for her...
Luckily I bought this magazine.. it has diagrams on how to draft pattern with adjustment and standard size.. I just follow & adjust where appropriate..Really hope this would turn out ok... This is a very "challenging" project for me.. Can't afford for any mistakes.. It must turn out P.E.R.F.E.C.T.... Pray for me..!

Janome Overlock or serging machine
You'll have to try it out to feel the difference....
Why I bought this dinasor? Cos I have lots of sewing projects to be done that needs to sew the edging.. I have my old "no brand-made-in-china" serging machine .. but I have problems sewing overlock stitch at the edge which has curves.. And sometimes the stictches are not even or even missed a stitch and most of the time.. my fabric will get stuck easily.... Imagine the headache I went thru with my old overlock machine (too bad I forgot to take a pic of the old dinasor.. sold it already)
Hah.. now with this new overlock machine... I heard it can work wonders.. But I need to explore the functions.. Will keep you updated on what I've made from this machine...
I have 12 "baju kurung" due this week... oh my!
