Iron not for sale

I made my 3rd block last night.. and I just can't wait to iron it using my cute lil iron..!! See how tiny it is??

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.

See my irons.... Makes my life easier... Sorry not for sale... The tiny one.. they have no agent in Malaysia, as it is directly flown from Taiwan. But the wooden one... can be arranged if you want... The blue steam iron.. negotiable with 2nd hand price.. hahaha..

A day in KL

Oh how I wish I had stayed in KL longer.. but what can I do.. I can't leave my baby behind too long.. (hehehe.. makes me homesick).. Before I share with you my main event at KL.. lemme show you what I have snatched with only short period...

My journey to KL was really fun! THanks to Shiela Nice2Craft & Tini Snazzy&Such who had devoted their precious time for me... a total stranger from Sabah. It was such a surprise though, we haven't even met before this.. first time! First date I might say...! Wow.. I was a bit nervous at first... but it turns out to be different from what I have expected. Believe it or not... we seems to be like just like good old friends!

I'll post up the picture of us later.. As for now.. I can't wait to share with you what I've got.. Sure is heaven..These are some of the stuff I bought from Sakura & Yee Button (Craft world).. Errr.. yess.. I do buy nonesense stuff.. wonder when can I use 'em.

Some fabrics I bought from there too... some metres, some quarters and some fat quarters... Only managed to buy very small quantity.. Wanted to get more.. greedy me..!AAnd not forgetting... Sue Bonnet fabric for quilt... Aren't they cute??

*SIGH* I just loved books! But this time I didnt get any English books.. turn out to be Japanese all! hah! Who cares, I love japanese books..

This is the only bookstore we had managed to set my foot on... Kinokuniya, KLCC.

FELTS... are my favourite too! I bought 'em from Daiso, the Curve.

What do I need this for???? Hah... who cares.. I love it cos its cute... I just cant resist stuff from Daiso... all RM5! Cute pegs isn't it??

Ahhh.. I forgot the fabric I bought from Ikea as well... hmm.. next time then...

Thank you Snazzy&Such

I received the giveaway gift from Snazzy&Such the other day, and I was the 1st winner. Wow.. lucky me.. Surprisingly the parcel was quite big.. Whats inside? 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..

This one is a slash cutter.. no plans to make anything out of it yet.. soon, next year I guess... there will be a project in Epal which use this cutter. Its cheaper than Epal. Thats why I bought 'em.. But come to think of it.. I'll missed my PV for this cutter... :(

Lipstick

I got this new lipstick of mine.. NOT! heheh.. no.. no.. no.. this is not a lipstick.. Its my new gadget...

What is this? Some of you might know what this is.. its another type of tailoring chalk.. There are all sorts of tailoring utensils available at stores.. but its all up to you to make use of it..

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.

Its practical, easy to remove, no stains at your hand and clean too. But the tracing is only temporary, once you dap on it.. swooosh.. off it goes...

Aaar.. this is what its called - Chaco Liner (white -- is the filling color, it has different colors - pink, blue.. or maybe many more..)

I was thinking if I could use the multi-color blackboard chalks.. just pound it into powder.. and fill it in.. I can even use talcum powder as the white refill..! Oh what a waste of buying the refill.. Never mind... at least I bought this for experiment.. next time I know how to refill it cheap!

Janome Overlock or serging machine

Where is my finish products?? No updates on my sewing projects yet??

I hope you're not tired of my gadgets yet... Too busy updating my blog with my new assets... until I forgot my update my sewing stuffs...

Ok.. ok.. this would be the last gadget ... (of the month)...

Presenting my new overlock or serging machine by Janome...

Why I love Janome so much..?

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!

Gadget of the day..

Another interesting accessories that might be usefull when you need to make your own bias binding tape ( in Malay - kun atau tape paiping atau lis). Normally we just buy from the store for satin bias binding or normal cotton one. Now with this bias tape maker, you can make your own bias tape with your own matching material. All you need to do is to cut the fabric you desired , insert it, it will fold for you. Next.. just iron while inserting it... TADA! Done with your D.I.Y bias binding tape!

Opps.. sorry.. the price is way to high for this small lil gadget..hehehe.. Sorry my lips blocked your view..

More gadget go...

I can't resist from not buying things that is a bit exta ordinary... Yeah.. yeah.. I'm a bit wasting up my money.. But I'm not buying for nothing... Its for my own collection and use.. aaahh..

I would never thought of buying these stuff if I were not to use it... A bit pricey.. but good quality products I might say.. Yes... I bought all this from Epal.

Would you buy this magnetic pin holder if you're not a sewing freak?? I don't think so... But it comes handy for careless person like me.. with all the sharp tiny needles laying on your work place.. Very dangerous.. With this magnetic pin holder.. i can just throw the pins on it.. viola!

Now.. what is this for? Double tracing wheel? Normal tracing wheel has only 1 wheel.. This one makes life easier.. Especially when you need to add seam allowances to your pattern.. no need to measure every inch of your pattern.. Just adjust the wheel to the right width.. then run the roller along your pattern piece.. EASY KAN?

What is this now? Its a thread cutter? Oh gosh... why can't you use a scissors or snipper?? (don't ask)

Another madness... my rotary cutter, cutting mat & ruller.. I promise.. I must make tonnes of patchwork & quilts...

My new baby has arrive!

Look what I got.. a Pos Laju parcel from.... SHIELA
I know you can read the Read!
I guess this gadget is quite an alien for some people out there... FYI, this is a pleater that makes pleats for smocking embroidery.. What is smocking?? Go google it to find out.

Don't laugh ya.. I don't know how to use this horse yet.. hehehe.. Hah well! You'll see the result soon!

Have a nice weekend!

My pride & joy

I don't know how to express my joy with this new baby of mine.. Finally my dream has come true.. I always wanted my own sewing machine that can do wonders.. Cannot believe myself that its mine! This Epal sewing machine - Model Harmony 2049 is the best sewing machine I can afford as for now..hehehe.. (Syukur lah Tuhan bagi saya semangat utk beli).. When I was at the Epal Centre KK, they intoduced me to another fantastic computerised embroidery machine... cost around 5K and 10K... WOW! I wish I had that much of $$... I want that tooo! But... a bit of patience & passion to own that one fine day.. will come true!

A very special thanks to Shiela the great person who sold me this machine with A Class customer service + Good Discount% + free gift. FYI, she is not from KK.. She's in KL, I only knew her virtually from blogging. So for friends out there who has the same passion as mine, and dreamed to have this machine... I fully recommend you buy this from her..(ehem.. from me also laah.. I'm not the reseller.. but as a member I want to share my joy with others too! Who knows one day I can jump into this great biz...)

Just contact me if you're interested.. We can deliver it to your doorstep! You can never find this kind of EXTRAS if you buy at the Epal Center. Serious!! Wanna bet?

This is the FREE Magic Kit, looks like a CD holder, but it only had elastic bands inside that can hold many types of sewing presser foot... Imagine all this comes FREE!.. If you buy ordinary sewing machine.. they sell it seperately.. and some of the presser foot are not available at stores..

Next free items is the user guide books, which teaches you step-by-step guide to make the sewing projects. I heard from Shiela these books are only included when you purchase the new Harmony Model 2049 (with new pricing). Epal do not sell the book seperately.. so for those who already had the machine, they will never get the chance to own this book.. Only the new members gets this.. Special kan?

What else do they give? Err.. not forgetting the VCD of basic guide to use this machine too! Isn't that great?

Now.. this is the Sew Cute Bag Kit.. FREE! Alahai.. Thank you Shiela.. I really feel honoured.

FYI, I'm the only one in KK who order this machine all the way from Puchong the main HQ for Epal. Currently Epal KK has no stock of this machine.. If you buy from there, sorry to say.. you'll have to wait till the stock arrives.. But mine.. wow.. I pay today.. 2-3 working days its ready to take home.

Wanna join the excitement? Please do not hesitate to contact me, "shout" me at my shoutbox, email me.. or call me.. AnYtimE!

My tiny lil sewing machine

Envy my smallest sewing machine? Cool.. handy.. but dunno how to use it ..

It was suppose to be an instant-help during emergency .. when you were about to wear your favourite attire and suddenly there's a hole at the seams... This gadget can help you mend it in seconds... ( I doubt it).

Just "clip" it as if you are holding a big stapler.. keep on stapling along the side of the fabric..

Is it for sale? Nope.. This is my only set..

I bought it in Jalan Masjid India..

Hmm.. so many weird gadgets can be found by the roadside.. in KL. Cheap.. but dunno how long it will last.
