Happy Goodie Bag

I have been blessed with customised orders from friends.

This is the latest: Happy Goodie Bag

I am really happy with the product, made with quality imported American designer fabric and truly a green gift.

A very thoughtful mummy ordered this as a birthday goodie bag for her daughter. This also doubles up as a memento as the little girl will be moving to another preschool.

Little girl, you can do it!

This is a self drafted shirt dress, I am rather happy with this. DD is really sprouting these days, think I need draft other patterns that are not so form fitting for better mileage!

Time to finish my own self drafted dress!

and the winner is!

Lee Seung Gi scarf remodelling

When my colleague presented this scarf to me

20130505-201651.jpg

She only told me, make me something useful out of this. I have absolutely no idea who is Lee Seung Gi

I hardly watch TV programmes and if the TV is on, it is hoarded by the kids!

Nonetheless I started brainstorming, I can make a drawstring bag, a pencil pouch, a tissue pack holder and maybe even a coin pouch.

However I do not think she will use the tissue pack holder to chope seats.

She traded off the coin pouch for the fabric button.

I managed to make good use of the scarf, even down to the label

Great weekend sewing!

Carefree Clothes for Girls – Junko Okawa

Borrowed this book from the library as I found the free dress template from their publisher.

This is the link
Carefree Clothes For Girls

The book is segregated into Spring/ Summer and Autumn/Winter. Naturally the spring summer collection is more suitable for our tropical weather.

They make me want to try sewing linen. I am not too sure about the pricing of linen here and also the different types.

There are a few designs from the autumn winter collection that I think will do well here with the right choice of fabric

The instructions with diagram are very detailed.

I haven’t done much sewing, it is the mid year exam period. I hope that will be over soon!
