he ain't heavy, he's my brother

recently another friend caught the sewing bug from us and is super excited to get her own brother .... she asked abt my brother and pics ... so, here's what i sent her :)

he ain't heavy, he's my brother .... welcome to our brotherhood angie :)

Something's brewing

came across a website and it inspired me to do it via this method rather than the initial plan .... stay tuned

here's a sneak peak : -

Things I had made ...

Here are some of the things i had made .... pretty simple but i *heart* the fabric and the way it turned out :)

made a simple one first but it looks like it needs a companion

My bunny - made of felt some time ago - and it looks so happy here. i think they go well together ")

Next, i tried to do a pink pin cushion .... trying out different idea - ie sew with the ribbons and do the closure at the bottom and decided to make a matching coaster to go along ... after all, crafting is hardwork and we need a cuppa of drink nearby  

Didn't really like the way the pink border turns out ....

 My pink pin cushion - a friend asked why i need so many pin cushion? errrrrr ..... dunno :P

They looked so happy - sitting on top of the double happiness sewing box (part of my wedding pressie from my mum - it's a chinese tradition thing)

Introducing my sewing room

There are still room for improvements but i reckon that i will take my time to build up my 'creative' space :)

No shelving yet and things are now stored in boxes .... i try to be as neat as possible (ie, clean up after each use) ...

Need to find a place to store all my stash (see the bags on the left)? I am building up my 'fats' pretty fast :P

My yummy sewing threads - some are from spotlight, some are 'wedding pressies' from my mum :)

Needed - an ironing board/mat, some shelving in the room and also a board to display my inspirations

:)

My model

The girl saw my fabric and insisted that I put them on her :)

ideas in my head ...

i have lots of ideas on what i wanna do but i cannot do anything now .....

My attempt with mix and match

many a times, we just buy fabrics on whims n fancy and lately i had caught the quilting/patchwork bug

haven't really started on any real projects BUT i am definitely busy with reading up on online/print resources

even dragged my mum to sign up for class :)

here is my attempt to mix and match with my stash at home ....
