Kisah Kita...~

Weekend baru ni kerja saya mengemas bilik menjahit je..sebab rasa macam banyak barang yang boleh dibuang ~ konon ;) padahal takde la banyak pun.

Tiba-tiba terjumpa benang crochet ni bersama jarum dan juga kerja-kerja yang disiapkan suatu masa dulu..hehe, tahun lepas kot. Sampai dah lupa bila try buat menda ni :D hehe

Dalam hati "Cantik jugak ek, tapi sayangnya tak simetri" :D

Layannnn...

***

Lepas habis mengemas semua, I dengan bulat hatinya memulakan my Baby Quilt Project ;) harap-harap dapat siapkan before baby keluar, InsyaAllah!

Baru 4 rows siap dicantum - my first progress

Doa for me ;) *wink*

Newbie Square Pillow 27" x 27"

First of all, I would like to THANK Mr Hubby sebab tolong filled in the kekabu dalam bantal ni - huh..banyak oo kekabu kena pakai for this big bantal. Two bags of kekabu which equal to TWO KILOS tau :(

Time I start nak buat bantal, actually I nak guna poly fiber fill tapi di sebabkan too expensive 700g for RM17 (maybe kat tempat lain murah, mcm Chowkit or Jalan TAR), niat terpaksa dibatalkan..hehe. Akhirnya I pergi ke kedai kekabu untuk beli kekabu saja..ingatkan murah la, rupanya sekarang 1kg dah RM18 :( hmm..better la kot than poly fiber. Lagipun kekabu ni sedap untuk dilenyekkk...

I thought boleh la siapkan dua-dua bantal besar 27"x27" sebab memang kedua-duanya memerlukan kekabu. Unfortunately I have to buy some more lerr sebab tak cukup...huhu~

I just bought three kilos hari tu. Sekilo lagi, we used for another bantal biasa saja :)

**bila la ada masa nak pi beli kekabu lagi ni...hmmm~~**

Love and Salam ~ Marie

Glove @ Mitten for Toddlers

Last week, si abang dok sibuk mintak mama jahitkan glove untuk dia. I tanya la nak buat apa? He said "Nak naik motor kena pakai glove la mama..."

Hmm mentang2 la ayah dah belikan Motor berbateri tu Made in China for him and helmet memang dah ada. Dia dengan sepantas kilat terus request for a glove. Mula-mula I thought nak beli je from any shop yang jual glove kecik, tapi bila my son tu beriya-iya request nak mama jahitkan glove, macam kesian la pulak kannn...tapi it is still in the making. I just buat ikut pattern mitten for baby tapi jari-jari semua boleh keluarkan. Ala-ala glove adult jugak laaa...yang dipakai oleh riders time bawak motor besar tu :D

Blum siap pun lagi...maybe weekend ni kot baru siap. Sebelah je baru siap~ hehe

"Mama kekurangan masa la nak menjahit..." ~ye la tu ;)

Futhermore, kena la jahit two pairs kann...kalau tak alamat berebut la nanti dua-dua hero tu :D tak larat nak dengar bila hero-hero bergaduh..huhu

~still in the making~

P/S : The fabric I recycle from my old pants :D I used dual layers for these glove.

Love and Salam ~ Marie

Projects for Baby

InsyaAllah! Hopefully semua projects ni akan menjadi...sebab I nak la jugak baby merasa pakai apa yang mama jahitkan kan kannn :D

1. Baby Crib Quilt (berdebar-debar rasa nak buat sebab ni first time nak buat baby quilt...hopefully boleh buat lapik in baby's crib nanti)

Tutorial in Diary of a Quilter & Sew4Home

Teringin nak buat Baby Crib Charm Quilt...tapi rasa macam mahal je nak beli designer's charm square. Thus, I decided to buat sendiri la kot, InsyaAllah. This is the calcualtion for my Baby Crib Quilt;

Baby Crib Quilt size will be 45" x 60"

A charm square 5" x 5"

0.5" will be for seam and finished square is 4.5"

Charm square needed;

Width : 45" / 4.5" = 10

Length : 60" / 4.5" = 13.3 ~ I will use 13

End of calculation! :D

 

2. Baby Bedding Set (macam kiut je ada satu set semua sama kann...)

Nice baby bedding set from ADR's Treasures

3. Baby Snuggler (ni mcm bedung untuk baby, senang sikit kot kalau pakai mcm ni...let's try)


All the best!

Felt Zipper Purse

This idea datang sebab I need a new purse so bad!~ huhu...konon nak pi shopping kat Queensbay Mall tapi tak terjumpa pulak purse yang betul-betul berkenan di hati. Yang berkenan di hati tu ada la I tengok online ~ COACH gitu....hahahha. Tak kuasa aku nak pakai yang mahal, tengok je boleh la...:p LOL

For time being, I akan guna this Felt Purse. Walaupun takde la jenama tapi it's handmade hookey :) buatan tanganku sendiri tau! Itu lagi mahal dan bererti ~~ ;) pujuk hati sendiri...

Ok, first thing kena la cari all the bahan-bahan for this project;

A Lining ~ Cotton Fabric 8" x 10"
B Felt 8" x 10"
C Wristlet 2" x 13"
D Zipper 8"
E Ric Rac Ribbon 8" x 2
F Flower Buttons
G Glue

Then boleh la mulakan kerja-kerja menjahit :) The tutorial can be found here theadventuresofbluegirlxo. Happy Sewing!

Sewing Machine Table Cover ~ Binding jeee

I made a binding tape to cover the edge of these sturdy material (agak tebal la this material). I am not sure what is the type of this material, my SIL's friend gave it to me. The longest time taken is to make the binding tape :p LOL. Jarang-jarang buat binding tape so keras tangan la sikit..hehe

All the binding process, I can say "easy peasy" :) Alhamdulillah...walaupun tercucuk jarum tu a few times la kannn :D dah terbiasa, so no big deal...konon~

The old table is now covered. Lega rasa bila nak menjahit table tu semua covered and it looks nice to me ;) perasaan sendiri~ what to say...

Two BIG Square Pillows ~ WIP

Hmm I need to find poly fiber fill to make it done! Where to find it?..*sigh*

Quite Cheap!

Last week, I joined Imin and Shima to Nagoya the fabric shop :) hmm seronoknya menjamu mata sampai tak tahu nak choose yang mana satu fabric yang betul-betul berkenan. After a while, I just chose these four fabrics untuk buat penambahan collection yang sedia ada...huhu. Projeknya akan menyusul kemudian...hahah :D

These RED fabrics are cotton - theme fruities and polkadot. Quite cheap, 1 meter for RM3 and I dah imagine jadi pillow cases (1 bantal kepala and 1 bantal peluk) anak-anak. Hmm...tapi tu la, ok ke kalau boys pakai this red colors?!! Belasah je la ekk...yang penting mama happy~~ Asyik-asyik blue aje, boring sudah :p I nak buat curtain untuk dapur jugak...maybe. Just wait and see. Kalau tak pun, maybe I boleh buat patchwork for our new coming baby, kalau kali ni dapat Power Puff Girl la kannn :D Doa for me!~

These B&W fabrics (black & white yerrr...), I got it RM6 for a meter. Bolehla, not that cheap tapi material tebal. Actually untuk curtain but I nak buat pillow yang 16"x16" tu untuk our living hall. Bolehla the boys golek-golek depan TV lepas ni dengan bantal baru. InsyaAllah!~

Cut-A-Blouse

Pattern for my first blouse ni, i ambik from this Female magazine (born in Japan). It has variety of styles...which I likee...

Last two weeks I dah berjaya memotong kain mengikut pattern yg disediakan. Belum sempat memulakan kerja-kerja menjahit lagi..huhu.

Hopefully after this, I can take picture of me wearing this cotton blouse! Yippie...!!

My Wallet - The RBB Partner

Akhirnya tercapai jugak hasrat menyiapkan my WALLET a.k.a partner my Reversible Bucket Bag (RBB) projek sew-along Sue Mybotang. Wallet ni sepatutnya projek untuk JomJahit TiniHani. Tapi macam malu nak bgtau dah siap sebab dah lama sangat semua orang completed theirs. Sorry Tini..lambat sebulan! haha :D

I am sorry too Sue, I can't join the latest applique project! Huhu...so sad.

I have no time lerr...masa amat mencemburui saya...

This wallet tutorial can be found in Craft Passion. Her work is excellent! Credit to her...

IPod Sleeve

Yeeyy...I managed to sew an IPoD Sleeve for Mr Hubby! ;)

I wanna sew one for myself also...but I don't have IPoD yet *wink*

Front Look -velcro for the flap closure At the back - use the flap with button to attach it to the belt easily ;)

Wallet-Wanna-Be

I slept at 2am last night gara-gara melepaskan dendam menjahit! :p

These are my fabrics selection - for my wallet to be paired with my Reversible Bucket Bag.

After 2 hours bersengkang mata, here is the outcome. Hmm actually it is not completed yet - I need to continue sewing tonight for the binding :) The tutorial can be found in Craft Passion

Mine is not as pretty as her work.

This is the picture of 85% completed wallet :D

I hope Allah will gives me strength and grant me creative sewing ideas!

InsyaAllah..

Time & Motivation

I want to sew and I need time..

I want to make something and I need time..

I want to finish my projects and I need time..

I want to go to class but I have no time :P

AND

I also need MOTIVATION here! *PHEWS*

From States to Penang ;)

I had ordered few books from Amazon.com before my hubby went to States ;)

Now I already received them all...Yeey! I likeeee...

I love all projects in One-Yard Wonders but I don't know when to start. There are 101 projects in few different chapters - interesting ;)

These two books, I can say interesting too. I'm soo into bag making now...hehe after completed the Reversible Bucket Bag project with Sue MyBotang :)

I love joining sew-along! It gives me motivation to sew more...n more...

For those who is interested to buy these books, I would recommend One-Yard Wonders~! It's worth the money...

Lovely Flower Button :)

After finished this RBB - Reversible Bucket Bag, I managed to learn how to make this lovely flower button. I might do a few of these flower buttons...buat brooch for myself, xpayah la beli-beli dah kannn! :D *konon*

1. Make one fabric button and 5 circles of fabric for the petals (if you want more petals..cut more)

2. Fold the circles of fabric to half and handstitch it, gather all the petals in one thread (see tutorial in eternalmagpie for more clear steps :))

3. Attach the fabric button in the middle of the petals

4. Attach it to the bag or any project u think is suitable...hmm

It's lovely. Serious...! ;)

The tutorial of this flower button - she called it yoyo flower brooch can be found in eternalmagpie.com

Thanks for the tutorial! ;)
