ALIYA'S CRAFT: GIVEAWAY-END YEAR

Back To School- Part 1

Back To School Project has begun!

I was very excited...

I found the right tutorial for my very first pencil case aka pencil box

(org lain pon buat pencil case tp takler kecoh mcm aku... hikkss..)

I'm proud to present my first handmade pencil case here..

It's nothing but who cares...

ni ler rupanya....

***If you are interested to make one for yourself, click HERE

buka zip kejap...

OK tak?

Boleh ler buat lg... hehehe...

I MADE IT! :-)

p.s. I was supposed to sew 2 more pencil cases just now
BUT... (ni yg marah ni..)
my beloved SINGER meragam le pula...
GRRRRRR.... GERAMNYER...

That's why I'm online
searching for solutions...
if it's not OK
then need to consult the expert
(sapa lg kalau bkn pakar di kedai singer... hehehehe...)

p.p.s. masih sakit ati.... huhuhuhu....

SEW & SHARE Crafty Swap!

Bestnyer dpt join this

SEW & SHARE CRAFTY SWAP

organised by

ZURA (SEW RETRO CHIC).

Extremely excited but worried...

Receiving something is exciting

but sewing for someone

who is more experienced is worrying...

(mcm biasa le...cold feet...)

Takper... takper...

Don't panic...

(kalau sendiri tak sedapkn ati... sapa lg... hikss..)

p.s. masih mencari2....

Reversible Sun Cap a.k.a Sun Hat

Another project by TiniHani.
This time it's Jom Jahit: Sun Hat.

I was kind of nervous because I thought it's a tough project

but I was wrong...

(mestila cari tutorial yg paling senang... hehehe...)

and I found one of the easiest tutorials

and it's at PRUDENT BABY

(ada free pattern lagi... mmg mudah koje..)

It is Reversible 40's Inspired Sun Cap posted by Jaime

Tara.... let me present you....to...

my first Sun Hat...

err... Sun Cap...

now you see brown....

now you see pink......

Reversible gitu....hehehe...

This is my model in her new sun hat.

ala adik manja....hiks...

ala budak nakal le pulak...

what a relief!
mission.... accomplished!

p.s. My special thanks to Jaime for sharing her tutorial on this reversible sun cap. Thanks so much for the free pattern too!

p.p.s. My special thanks to Sue from MyBotang Crafty Corner for her lovely scraps.... blh i mix & match... & this sun cap is the result.... ooo la la..

IN & OUT OF SPITAL...

UNEXPECTED. SCARY ... BUT IT HAPPENED BEFORE... MANY TIMES THIS YEAR.... SO OFF DAYS FOR ME.. NO SEWING... NO STITCHING.... NO CRAFTING... HE WAS WARDED ON THURSDAY & DISCHARGED ON SATURDAY. ALHAMDULILLAH! HE'S BACK TO NORMAL. ALREADY BACK TO HIS ROUTINE...PLAYING GAMES... THANK YOU ALLAH!

p.s. alhamdulillah...

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...
