CRAFTY SWAP STORIES

STORY NO. 1

My sincere apology to Ayu from SWEETLILCRAFT COLLECTIONS who will receive my 'hasil kerastangan' late. Yeah, I know.. I know...I should send it by 31 Dec 2010 but hey! It's better late than never!

(yelah tu.... nak sedapkan ati sendiri le tu... iks...)

The first is the quick-no-sew card....

using only a piece of ribbon & felt

(tak sempat nak jahit.. jd tulis jer ler... hehehe..)

Next... the baby blue butterflies... nak tau citer BUTTERFLIES? Go HERE !

And the fabric tray too...

Kisah fabric tray tu ada kat SINI

Keychain pon ader... (denda lambat... hehehe..)

Before the make-up session... After touching up... Feeling guilty, I had to do something. I decided to sew this... It's a tissue wallet but too plain.. no pocket... nothing...
only for tissue lah!
(cik abe siap tegur....huhuhu...)
After thinking & rethinking for a few days & nights...
(wah, mcm citer Detective Conan lak!)
I sewed another tissue wallet for Ayu
(Hrp2 Ayu suke yer...:)

It's personalised for AYU jer ye...
Let's look inside...
Tara....
velcro tape jer... Ehem...Jgn tak caya... My first attempt in sewing a zipper in the middle of the fabric worked!

(tak ler cantik tp berhasil... yes!!!)
This is how it looks from outside...
LOVE & HOPE
for EVERONE!!!
; wink..wink..;D

So.... once together...
they are meant for each other..
meant only for AYU
whose fave colours are blue & pink..
(bantal2 tu props jer tau.... not for sale....ikkss....)

Now on the way to the owner...

(legaaa...)

STORY NO. 2

I'm over the moon...

My partner Ween from WEEN GORGEOUS,

a talented young student who is very passionate in fashion & sewing...
(bodek nak free skirt... hihihi... )

made a bag for me...:D

Love it! Love it! Love it!

Thanks Ween.

It is reversible...

Either this look...

or change it to this....

My perfect stay back bag aka beg lambat balik!

(almaklumle... aktiviti sukan & kelab dh mula.... huhuhu...)

For more story about this bag...

go HERE!

p.s. Errr... Zura SEW RETRO CHIC...... bila nak buat crafty swap lg yer?

Same tapi tak same...

I used the same pattern (Keyka Lou's basic wallet)

but they differ in many ways...

look! my first attempt....

yeah! i was extremely frustrated...

but succeeded at last

(bab jahit tepi melengkung ni mmg mengerikan)

and this is the second attempt...
much better but needs more practice la...
(especially bhgn melengkung tuh...)

from the back of both wallets...
can see the different sizes...
the left is bigger... (my second attempt)
the right is smaller .... (my first)

Why? You want to know why?
Because....
the first attempt... follow word by word...
(My Cik Abe lalu pon tak perasan.. hehehe..)
the second attempt... just follow my heart...
(in other words... ikut je gerak hati...)

OK or KO?

Which one should be posted to Kak Ros?
Please decide for me...
coz I still feel none is still good enough..
(rasa malu lak nk bagi hasil kerastgn yg tak seberapa nih)

p.s. hp casing ak.a. pouch tu dlm proses.... tunggu... hiks..

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...
