Then came the UFO..

Long time not updating here..and this one is a long-overdued UFO (unfinished object). The bag was finished earlier but still need to attach the handles. Was undecided whether the handles are right for the bag. Turned out, it's perfect! The strawberry handles work perfectly with the muted country heart designs of the cotton linen. And the red Japanese yarn dye matches the red heart. Love it! The size is just perfect for my everyday office wear (it has been reduced from the original weeekender-styled size).

The side pleat. It was tough to sew on the red patch when your bag size is small..

Can this be sold? The genuine leather handles and the zipper tabs itself already cost me RM100++. Still not counting the cotton linen and the Japanese-imported yarn dyed fabric!

Creativity

Don't you just love creativity in a person? This is the works of my friend. The door gift, the setting; all matched to a theme!

She found the tins at unexpected places. Made up the handle to look like a luggage. The setting consists of scrapbook pages with travel themes and maps. The 'luggage' tins used to store a personalised business card. Love it! And all the years that I had known her, her events were so much fun to attend to..

The back is actually a collage of picture printed onto a card and cut to the size.

The table setting..matched up the cake of the day..a red velvet cake!

Organizer basket

Organizer basket. Perfect for all sewing utensils. Rulers can be slotted in the largest space.

Below 2 are available for sale.

DIY Sewing/Studio

Need a place to store all my stash and books, so decided to turn one of the rooms to be a sewing space/studio. Managed only to set up the high table (for cutting etc). It is actually part of a built-in cabinet thrown away by my brother's neighbor and supported by a cluster of cheap storage selves. This side is for books and magazines.

Other side for fabrics and storage boxes.
-Still need to buy a sewing table with adjustable legs.
-Put in the fan.
-Bring in the ironing board
-Still thinking if a single bed can be brought in. But then also need a space for my Jazz practice with a wall of mirrors.

I had since bought a high chair from Ikea. And had use this room as office whenever I have to work from home.

Out with the old...

It's the new year. I had some time of sewing and decided to try out this new design of id tag. How appropriate! Little did I noticed that the plastic covering of the old id case was torn already.

It is a little too snug..forgot that I need to cater for 3 cards inside the 2 slots.

Temporary label

It would do for the moment..found the stamp at Craft Haven, One Utama. Stamped and handwritten myroz name with fabric markers.

Organizer file covers

2 styles of organizer file covers that I had done for gifts. I love the print so much that I appliqued to the organizer cover adapted from an old cover of mine. This one was meant for lucky draw during office gathering. I wanted to make one that is not overly feminine.

It was too empty so I included 2011 diary pages. The organizer has pockets for pen or handphone.

Another cover is for a female friend who I appreciated so much for supporting my love to create something...she's a tailor and she sent me numerous fabric remnants for my sewing hobby. I hope she can use this one to carry around. Who knows a person can ask to be measured for a dressmaking anytime..hehehe

The ladies of leisure..

Family Day

Kawan Mokwe tak dapat datang ke family day ni, jadi Mokwe bagi tiket2 tu kat Kakak yang sedang bercuti masa tu dengan Anis dan Fahim (nasib ah..Angah ngan A.Faiz kene sekolah ganti aritu). Ni kat Cosmo World, Berjaya Times Square.

Ni ah..Kakak nunggu Anis ngan Fahim main kapal jongkang jongkit ni..

Ni Kakak nunggu adik2 lagi naik merry-go-round.

Nunggu depa main kereta langgar2 ni..Fahim sengaja pi langgar kereta sorang budak tu..sib baik polis tak der.

Gambar 'family', Kakak yang ambik..hehehe. Adik takut kat badut2 ni tapi time ni dia OK pulak..

Lepas tu adik2 lak tunggu Kakak nak main 'flying saucer'..

Gayat dan pusing2..sebelum tu Kakak dah naik roller coaster yg berpusing melingkau2..

Abis jer flying saucer, Kakak kene putar macam mesin basuh kat DNA Mixer. Tu Kakak yang nampak tudung ungu..

Dan putar lagi..DNA Mixer ni yang paling dasyat la antara mainan dewasa kat theme park ni..Mokwe pun tak penah cuba..Hahaha..

Kakak..selepas segala putaran. hahahhaa..

Ni Adik lak nunggu Kakak dan Anis main keretapi pusing2..Adik tak leh join sebab tak cukup tinggi..hehehe.

Conteng muka lak..Adik tak nak sebab badut ada kat meja orang lukis2 muka masa tu..Coward!

I'm 1!

This little lady is one year old! Her first taste of the chocolate cake..

Sewing for Raya #2

To put in some keropok from Kemaman for the open houses. A quick sewing of scraps.

I love this one! That day, it was my friend's birthday so I make one that she can use later as lunch bag. This one was made at my brother's place, got no many choices of sewing thread so I used black.

I love the handle. Inspired by a Coach design.

Sewing for Raya #1

Envelope-styled wallets for each of the little guys..

A sling purse for the little lady. It has 2 compartments inside. Forgot to take a pic of the inside.

For 3 little ladies, actually..

Balqis modelling hers.

Anis..Nabila was only around on 3rd of Hari Raya, so no pic of hers.

Fahim showing off his wallet.

On the first day of Raya, the little guys had theirs inside the pocket of baju Melayu. Here's Imran.

Amir..looking like a YB!

Mek Sue Purse

Another UFO finished. Quilted Japanese yarn dyes, machine appliqued Sue and hand embroidered flower motifs. It was supposed to be a pouch but I thought I turned this into a purse that can be carried as mini handbag or across body.

Back detail.

Front details.Inside I used a stiffer interfacing for pockets and body for a more structured look. Pockets for handphone and others plus a hook for keys.
