Amazing creation by serging machine

I made this frilled tissue box cover yesterday... within a few minutes.. Looks like ordinary sewing techniques, but can you ever imagine that I made it using a serging or overlock machine only??

Believe it or not.... No other machine used... only with my Janome MYLOCK 744D!

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.

Each of us attending the workshop had to bring our own machine. Which I think is good, so that if any problems with your machine.. the tutor can help to have a look..

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...!

Also the fabric pieces are sewn as patchwork design... I hope I can do more with my srap fabric..! Soon... I'll show u..

Tiny Lil Jubah - The model

Ahh...!! Such an adorable lil baby! She's 2 months with a very beutiful smile.

This is the mother's original jubah (not sewn by me ya...). I tried my best to match the lil dress.. but could not find exact lace.. But still in the same "theme" - black Jubbah with silver lace.

Tiny lil Jubah

Another tiny lil Jubah dress for a little 2months++ baby girl from Singapore.

Its a black satin dress with silver lace ribbon and beaded with black & silver Japanese beads along the lace, that matched with her mom's dress. I will post a picture of them when I receive it later..
Very tiny right? For a 2months ++ baby girl.

Baby blue daisies diaper stacker

Made another diaper stacker. Oh well, I think my embroidery sucks.. I NEED AN EMBROIDERY MACHINE!!!... (is that an excuse?)

Need more time to organise my art work .. to make it a more presentable items .. This last minute work plus sleepyhead me.. made it a bit messy..

I made a few aditional ammendments to the flower girls dresses last nite. Just a minor one.. But I miss my bed so much lately.. ( I sleep quite well.. but not enough .. to have a good night sleep and sweet dreams.. I wonder if there are women out there has a weird passion as I am..) That's why I have limited time to embelish this diaper stacker..

More of baby blue flower girl dress

What more can I add to this flower girl dress..
BEADS?!

Yes, beads... I never sewn beads before.. this is my first trial attempt.

Ok.. I guess?

I got this idea from baby daisy beads tutorial by Cheq Sue. It was so adorable.. but mine has a big gap in between the daisies.. I should have made it closer with no gaps like what Cheq Sue made..

I'll ask the owner first if she prefers it to be filled with daisies all around the neck.

Thanks to Cheq Sue for her tutorial..
