Diaper Covers

MADE has really cool tutorials and this is no exception.

Made one for Phoebe. I like the nice colours of this fat quarters that I got from Spotlight :)

PICTURES!!!!!

i


Problem encountered
1. No serger machine. So, there are some raw edges. I intend to try this again - this time, with the pseudo serger function in my Brother
2. I have a hard time sewing in the thigh area :( Going to try again
3. The length of the elastic in the pattern is too long. Going to do via trial and error the second time.

Overall, I love how it turned out :)

Flying clouds lunch bag

Saturday was a productive day, Not only did I come up with the bed sheet cover, i made the lunch bag as well.

I did not follow the pattern to the T as (1) i did not have sufficient length of the fabric (2) I got lost in the pattern half way :P

Nevertheless, the results turned out well.

Simply love the cloud prints :)

Pictures Time!

Miffy and Melanie - bedsheet cover

Went to check out my favourite shop along queen's street. When i first set eyes on the fabric, i knew that i need to get it to make a bed sheet cover for the crib.

and so happened that i saw the tutorial online by Made by Dana. Seems easy enough. But with my prior tissue cozy experience, i decided to take my own measurement instead of depending on the information furnished. ;)

Becoz I do not have a serger machine, i decided to try out the pseudo serger function available in my brother - a good practice :) the end result is pretty good.

Here are the photos of the end product :)

Sale at Spotlight

The sale at spotlight went on for quite sometime. Last week, they were giving out discount coupon - for every $100 spent, you get $40 off.... been thinking of the cutting set for the longest time and this is the best time to make use of the promotion. :)

I also got other cute stuff - to make up the amount ...


They are all so kawaii ......

Quick fix for my addiction

I am suffering from cute fabric addiction and the thing is, with modernisation, it is very, very, very difficult to locate the textile shops which once upon a time, could be found in the housing estates ....

Yesterday, I went to look for a fix. Alas, the shop is not opened. She has probably gone for an early CNY break. :( Next time, I MUST get her contact number.

Next, I proceeded to another textile shop. Sadly, he has converted most of his fabric stocks to curtain stocks. No luck there as well.

I finally got my fix by going through my mum's sewing room - i found lots of fabric - from past purchases ... hahahaha so happy :)

Here are some that i carted home =)

Photo of the tissue cozy

yea - the non-lomo pic of my first completed project.



Need to improve on the sewing (insides) and also to get a proper fabric pencil :P
