Upcoming!

Because because because, this time round this colourful bag will be on sale! But, wait for a few more days and I'll post the bag ;) So I'm giving you a take-a-peek picture about the strap hehe! So a few more days a few more days XD 

Altering jeans, again!

So I tried and altered my brother's jeans into a skinny! Here's the result, sorry no proper picture xD

And this is my first time cutting off the excess fabric and sew it using edge neatening foot. Having a great sewing machine that comes with 15 types of foot, it's a waste that I don't make the best out of it. So this is my first time using the edge neatening foot so it can neaten the fraying edges. (picture below) My first try so it's not that neat but but but it was not bad right, yeah? 

Tools!

Heheh i'm so happy that I already bought the medium-heavy interfacing and a few thread :>

The Easiest Headband Ever!

So while waiting for my mood to kick in to do some bags, i made this headband it's so cute right? And it's so easy that you can make 100 a day! And once you do it, you wanna do some more and more and more! Believe me.

I will teach you how to do this super easy headband! First of all, you need a fabric. Some leftovers from your blouse or 'baju kurung' would be fine. So cut the fabrics about 18" x 4" like below! Oh btw you also need a 5" elastic band! I;ll show later.

And then fold the fabrics into half all the way down the center (wrong sides together)

Theeeen fold like in the picture below about 1/2" i guess all the way down and then do it for both sides left and right just like in the pictures below! Then iron ittt! 

Done it? No, not yet! You need to fold your corners like the picture below so it will be neat at the end of the project! 

Okay after you fold fold fold, then sewing time! Sew sides together, put one end of elastic into the opening of one side. Sew closed using a zig-zag stitch. Switch back to straight stitch and stitch down one side. Insert the other end of the elastic into the other opening. Sew closed with zig-zag stitch.  Switch back to straight stitch and sew up the second side. Now it's done and you can wear it :> 

The end-project! Oh but you can always modify, this is just the basic of the basic headband and I got this tutorial from here Easy headband tutorial! (thankyou) and I think I skipped some of the instruction heh heh heh.

Simple enough :)

Le' Fabrics!

Because my fabrics are hereeeeeeeeeee! :D

Last week I (and my mom) did some online shopping and bought a few designer fabrics and and they arrived here right into my mailbox yesterday! And they are so beautiful! Seeing them live is so much better than visual ;p Want to take a look? 

Hehehehehehehe so there's only 3 of them. Ain't them cute enough? Aww. Bought it from materialgirlfabrics.com and I like their tagline, "Remember It's not just fabric It's your dream" cool huh!


Anyway, we did a video of opening the package and you can seeee how excited we are in this video that we could tore open the envelop like Hulk! XD

Ok ok the video is without sound, better that way xD okay then, wait for my neww project hihihi :D

Slouchy Bag

My second project! I took a long time to get on my sewing machine and sew another bag. Sigh. Anyway, this is my favourite bag now since it's green! And i feel so lady-ish wearing it. Ha-ha. I used a green curderoy fabrics for the outer bag and the lining was from the leftover cotton from my sister's baju kurung and THEY FIT PERFECTLY!  It took me two days to finish this bag, two days.

(The picture belowThis is how the bag should look, there should be some flap for the closure! But i didn't have the snaps tool :( So, I will sew it once I have the snaps or maybe when I have some pretty buttons. Look's better with the flap, right?

Here's a take-a-peek inside photos. I really like the cotton xD Don't you? And there's a pocket! There should be two pockets but I don't want to hassle myself and since this is my first bag with pocket so I just made one :D hihi. But but I was so excited that my pocket is sooooo pretttyyy! 

Okay that's all! Maybe I could sew this and sell it, no? Tell me whatchu think! And thankyou showtellshare for the pattern and tutorial! Here's a link so you can sew too, Show Tell Share : Slouchy bag :) 

Lunch Bag

This was actually my mom's project, she was sooo eager to make this strawberry cute lunch bag! I feel so picnic-ish looking at the picture. So I'm gonna share more pictures of ze bag. I just can't help but to put the bottle beside the bag because I think they make a good pair, no? 

The strap was taken from my dad's leather pouch which he doesn't need it anymore and it matches perfectly with the bag! My mom used only 2 fabrics (the strawberry-like and i-think-it's-linen-ish black fabric) for this bag and a very light fusible interfacing. So what do you think?

And thankyou pink penguin for the tutorial! And for those who wanna try to make this lunch bag here's the link! Pink Penguin's Lunch bag tutorial :)
