Apron for kid

Tiba2 teringat yang saya belum lagi buat entri mengenai apron aktiviti kreatif untuk Fatihah.

Mutu gambar tidak begitu memuaskan.

Husband Wish Item

Assalamualaikum wb...

My husband was complaining that he didnt have pencil pouch to put his stationery when he sat for his exam last weekend.

My surprise that he requested for me to make him a pouch. I know I made lots of bookmarks for him lately but never expect that he would "trust" his little wife (that is me) for the pouch. I need to mention here that I tried the bookmarks because I know there is no other easier sewing project to attempt.

And to me, the pouch would be an advance project comparing to bookmarks. Nevertheless, I couldnt ignore the request since my husband never request me to make him anything sewn other than bookmark before this. I thought the last thing he would do is for his friends to see him with fabric pouch.

So, here I am. Surfing and surfing for ideas in internet. Finally I chose a Stylish Pencil Pouch by Pink Penguin. It comes with a very detailed step-by-step tutorial which at this moment I think I can follow. But, still I cannot avoid the scary part of the zipper.

Luckily, she specifically mentioned there not to afraid or worry of the zipper part. And she is very good in demonstrating that inserting zipper is not the end of the world.

So, I hope I would be able to share the outcome of my next mission very soon. (Very soon would meant differently to different person. So, better used to my version of Very Soon.. :)

Be Good.

Penanda buku fabrik

Assalamualaikum wb...

Kali kedua saya membuat penanda buku dari fabrik.

Belajar dari yang pertama hari tu, saya cuba buat sekali lagi.

Kali ni, saya buat pelapik pada kain supaya tepi kain tak pecah.

Untuk jadikan penanda buku tu lebih tahan lama, saya masukkan dua lapis kotak di dalamnya.

Memandangkan kain sukar untuk dibuat lubang, saya jahitkan riben pada bahagian atas penanda.

Hasilnya....

Simple bookmark

Assalamualaikum wb...

Setiap kali membaca buku, suami saya ( dan saya sendiri) akan mencapai apa sahaja yang boleh dicapai untuk dibuat penanda buku.

Jadi, saya terfikir kenapa saya tak buat penanda buku yang ringkas memandangkan saya ada semua bahan2 yang diperlukan.

Hasilnya selepas bertapa beberapa
minit di bilik kraf...

Blooming Marvellous

Assalamualaikum wb...

Dah tak sabar nak mulakan projek menyulam saya.

For my first project, I've chosen pattern called Blooming Marvellous .

I think this is the simplest project for a beginner like me.

So far, I have stitched the stalks of the flowers using stem stitch. It seems easier when stitching the straight stalks but a little bit trickier when come to stitch the curvy leaves.

My first lesson (hope i got it right) is when stitching the curve using stem stitch, make sure the stitch is from outside to the inside of the curve.

Anyway, now I'm sharing my first embroidery attempt in progress.

Tadaaa....

Mine is the top one. The bottom picture is taken from the book. :)

Fun with Stitching

Assalamualaikum wb...

Sangat suka sebab dapat beli buku- buku yang comel ini.

Seterusnya, bila lah agaknya nak mulakan projek...

Kwang kwang kwang....
