My sewing room

Just want to share some of my collections yg makin melimpah ruah. Try to be a minimalist but when it comes for fabrics and notions..no minimalism. Need to find ideas on how to organise all of them systematically.

Fabrics...

Threads...

Zippers...

Buttons etc...

Fabrics Hunting @ Jakel Sek7

Sesi melepaskan perasaan di Jakel Seksyen 7 Shah Alam. Sempat shopping sebelum pergi kerja. Sebelum tu singgah di KFC I-city makan Hot&Spicy Shrimp. Better taste than before. Terasa pedasnya. Plan asal nak makan kat Kenny Rogers tapi bila tengok harganya terus kensel. Melampau sangat harganya tk padan dgn taste,portion even servis yg dorg offer. Baik gi KFC dpt mkn free. Hehe. Beli muffin 1/2 dozen then mkn kat KFC dgn F. Jimat duit boleh beli kain byk2. Total: 7m= RM100. Happy!

Fabrics Hunting @ Kamdar IOI Mall

YES. Cari kain Japanese cotton yg paling murah coz budget bulan ni sikit jer. Ada yg rm6 rm5 semeter dan rm3 semeter. Kalu ade peluang nk pegi lg utk tambah beli kain yg rm3 semeter tu. Total rm118. Happy!!

Ps: adik salesgirl tu tanya apa nk buat ngan kain ni. Hehe...ku jwp wat colection cuci mata jer..hahaha.

Kotak Tisu Petron

2 minggu lepas dapat sekotak tisu percuma dari Petron sempena pembukaan stesen minyak baru (ganti esso-mobil) depan rumah ni. Tapi kena buat pembelian RM40 dulu. Ingatkan saiznya besar macam kotak tisu biasa rupa-rupanya "tipah tertipu". Kotaknya lagi kecil dari separuh kotak biasa. Tapi dah sebab percuma ambil saja lah. Lepas tu rasa macam best jugak kalau buatkan sarungnya.

Hasilnya..dengan ropol-ropol di bahagian bawah.

Bantal Sulaman Reben Pertama

Akhirnya siap jugak 2 biji bantal dengan sulaman reben. Bukan susah sangat pun tapi banyak sangat alasan yang menyebabkan tertunda hampir 5 bulan untuk bantal yang pertama. Sebenarnya nak jahit banatal ni untuk sepupu F tapi sebab dah lama sangat kira halallah pakai sendiri jer. Bantal kedua pula hanya ambil masa beberapa jam untuk disiapkan. Seronok kerja malam sekarang sebab ada masa celah-celah untuk buat kerjatangan. Besoknya dah boleh jahit 2 biji bantal sekaligus. Sangat gembira. Kurang lagi senarai WIP.

Yang pertama siap...

Semasa kerja malam...cuba buat sesama mungkin

Dah jadi 2 bantal..yeaa.

 Dah "test drive" bantal-bantal ni. Cuba tidur, penyek-penyek, hempuk-hempuk dll. Nampaknya masih kebal dan tak ada rasa geli-geli. Ikut dari pengalaman, untuk cuci pun senang cuma sumbat masuk dalam mesin basuh. Cikgu Suzana dah ajar macammana nak jahit supaya lebih tahan lasak. Teringin  lagi nak pergi kelas cikgu nak belajar teknik-teknik baru. Insyaalah kalau ada kesempatan.

Omiyage from Vietnam

Not in the mood to write in English. Just a quick post to update this blog.  Baru dapat souvenier dari Vietnam. Mama F pergi sana masa cuti Hari Malaysia last weekend. Katanya banyak sangat kain cotton cantik2. Nampaknya kene hold dulu beli kain kat Malaysia. Very delicious print. Tak sabar nak pegi shopping2 @Vietnam...huhuhu..kumpul duit dulu.

Fabric by Michael Miller for Vera Bradley, Camelia--> but tulis situ not for resale.?? anyways, kainyer tebal dan bole buat macam2. Rasanyer dah ada idea tunggu ada masa jer.

Simple crochet hooks roll

This is the base design for my pencil roll project. Nothing fancy just a straight line sewing. Done in 2010.

Curvy Clutch

 

 Finished 2 Curvy Clutches designed by Michelle. The 1st attempt was not turned out very well according to plan. Maybe because I was using a bit thick batting (recycled from shoes cover) and also a way tooo excited to finish the clutch. 2nd one turned out quit well I think. I was using medium size for those clutches but if I'm going to make it again, I will choose large size. This medium size barely loads in my hp and my small coins wallet. FYI, this design comes with 3 different sizes; small, medium and large. Not suitable for beginner.
   The red clutch (1st) will be mine and the green-blue clutch (2nd) will be an early birthday present. Hope she'll like it.

p/s: I’ve ordered magnet buttons from Sue Rosly. After this no need to hand sew the snap buttons anymore. Yeah!.

Pencil Roll with zipper

 

 

 

   This pencil roll was a special request by Mr. F to replace his old pencil case. I didn’t find any pencil roll design with zipper so I just decided to do it my way. It turned out quit ok but perhaps I should design a better way on how to put the zipper as this project required me to hand stitch it. The binding also need some more improvement. Do not kechi with the fabrics OK! But above all, what I like about this pencil roll is it can store a lot of things. You can see from the pictures. And, F also likes it. Huuhuhu…tak sia-sia belanja beli kain.
