Nykolett's Scraps' Misadventure

Did I tell you that I won't sew for a while because I needed to concentrate on marking? I'd like to apologize because it seems that I can't do that! Last night, I had headache but I sewed! Today, sewing is on my mind all the times. I believe that I've been transformed lately.... I just want to sew.. sew... sew... (sigh!)

Recently, I bought fabrics from Kak Ros (Nykolett Curtains & Soft Furnishing) & I got scraps! Such lovely scraps! Thanks Kak Ros. Let me show you what I've done so far.....

Yup! One is a wallet (Keyka Lou's Basic Wallet) & another one is supposed to a pouch or hp casing.... I was thinking of giving one of them or maybe both to kak Ros but I wasn't well-equipped in sewing so I made blunders here & there... Do you know why the wallet is half hidden?...Err... it's uneven... imbalanced... imperfect... (another sigh!):(

The hp casing? OK but still not good enough.... I just feel it needs more... Maybe buttons? Yet even if I add embellishments, I still feel it's just not up to my expectation:(

I'm in the process of making another hp casing but somehow there're mistakes everywhere... :(

I rest my case....

p.s. D scraps tu mmg cun.... especially yg tebal tuh... tak pyh bubuh interfacing... adus.. mmg mudah keje ku..... Hrp2 jahitanku menjadi lepas nih...Aminnn...

For All My F5&F6 Prefects!

At last they are ready to meet their owners...

phew! what a relief!

it took me days to finish these special gifts...

I hope they'll use them..

(kenang daku dlm doamu...hehehe..)

These are for my Form 6 prefects...

Why all are blue? Only 1 is green?

Their choices of colours!

(sori le... gambar kureng memuaskan..)

From behind...

And these are all for my Form 5 prefects...

Colourful....
Their choices....
I personally asked them to list down three fave colours...
(tak leh komplen2, wokey!)

Sila pandang belakang... hehehe...
Zoom kejap....

I really hope they will be happy...

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY KAK CHIK!

My youngest sis, Kak Chik, celebrated her 22nd birthday last month. I wasn't sure what would be the best birthday present this year. The moment I showed her the hp casing I made a few days ago (HERE) , I knew she'd love it. So I gave it to her.

Plus....

this.....

a keychain made specially for her...

(the button is her choice, of course)

She decided where to put the hearts & buttons.
I added the small hearts...

I know she loves it..
I love it too...

Kak Chik, I hope that you will be happy.
The keychain is a token of my love to you.

KAK CHIK,
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!

With lots of love,
Your big sis



p.s. Legaa... sempat siapkn keychain sblm Kak Chik bertolak balik ke KL td.... phew!

Ironing BoardKu Tersenyum Lebar

Kesian kat ironing boardKu

suram jer ...

menipis & hampir koyak
So I made a new dress for it

Choose the right fabric first
like this.....

Then curik masa jahit
(tak payah letak padding sbb nak sarung je terus)
sambil bereksperimen dgn tali getah
(sbb tak penah buat)

Tara... this is the new look...
Ok ler tu..


Jgn pandang bawah sbb ropol yg terhasil mmg disengajakan... hehehe...

p.s. Bkn selalu ironing boardKu dpt pakai baju guna Timeless Treasures fabric... kelas gitu!

MY RAYA HP CASING

This year, I don't feel like celebrating Hari Raya Aidil Adha. No kuih raya. No ketupat. No lemang. No guests. Not even baju kurung on Hari Raya. My hubby and kids were all in their raya attires. Me? In kain batik & shirt...

teruk, kan dpt ibu mcm aku...:(

At last i made up my mind to make a 'dress' for my handphone. At least the raya mood could be revived if I made something new....

Yelah tu... sebenornye nak buat baju tak reti .... hehehehe...

I was in my sewing room for hours... After sewing, i realised that my hp couldn't fit in the casing.

Alamak! Silap kira le pulak! Almaklumle, newbie like me... pakai hentam je...

I was thinking of adding extra fabric when my beloved Cik Abe suggested the solution...

Bak kata omputih "Two heads are better than one"

TQ Abang... luv ya... muah..muah...muah...

Cadangan Abang dinda terima 100% & digunakan tanpa was2..

Here is my hp's first new raya 'dress'...

musti dia gumbira bangat... hehehe..

See, I've added the elastic tape. Those holes? My first time in making them using the eyelet plier I bought from Sus n Felt.

OK tak?

Dr belakang

Bila ditutup, gini le rupanya...

Dr tepi...

What do you think?

p.s. Well, my credit goes to My Cik Abang for being so innovative... He even helped me in making the holes... I'm soooo lucky... hehehe...

p.p.s.

Dapatkan Mesej Bergambar di Sini

no worry. aku akhirnya rasa jg mood raya lps hp casing siap sbb sblh ptg p braya kat rmh maksu... mak & abah? kat rmh kakakku di kajang.... huhuhu... tak kisah le... kena berkorban demi kesihatan mak... Mmg sesuai dgn nama raya, kan?....Btw, SELAMAT HARI RAYA KORBAN...

Lps beraya d rmh maksu kami beraya d Tesco.... hihihihi....

MY FIRST TRIM CATCHER!

BERJAYA!

I have succeeded! Bravo Rosh!

This is my trim catcher. Luckily TiniHani has invited everyone to join her in her Jom Jahit: Trim Catcher mission.

(kalau tak, takde le siap trim catcher nih... hehehe...)

From above....

Zoom sikit....

My trim catcher can be removed. That's why I used buttons.

(nak guna velcro tape tp tak jumpa... huhuhuhu...)

While searching for the velcro tape, I saw my elastic tape. So I got an idea...

Yup! My pin cushion is attached using the tape.

So this is the result of sheer hardwork...

I was thinking of a simple trim catcher at first but after a few times of trials and errors I'm glad I made this 'baby'....

Happy? Yes. Definitely!

Satisfied? Err... There's always a room for improvement. Seeing other people's trim catchers.... leaves me speechless.... Who knows, I'll be as good as them too... or most probably better... hehehe..

Once a dreamer, always a dreamer...

p.s. I used the scraps I bought from MyBotang Shoppe. Cun, kan?

p.p.s. The lining (the twinkle twinkle little stars fabric) is from one of the textile shops in SP. I have many more. Does it mean more projects?...hmmm....

Mende pe ni?

Nak buat cupcake pin cushion

tp rupa ntah pe...

buah ke?

tak kisah le

yg penting blh cucuk pin.

Lg pon cik Raina suka

si cilik suka... mama dia lg suka....

Sudah ada kawan!

Hari tu solo

tapi hari ni dah ada kawan!

Kena cucuk pin pon takpe

sbb member senasib je...

susah senang kita bersama...

hehehehe......
