New DIY Cushion Cover

Hi,

Finally I manage to sew new cushion covers. Hooray!

Both cushions and fabric were from IKEA Malaysia. I bought the cushions earlier but it seem that they love to attract cat's furs. I was so annoyed with this situation and for that reason, I sew the covers :)

The fabric is Annbeth and it cost RM39.50 per meter.

The cushions is Granat and it cost RM12.90 each. But I think it cost cheaper a few months back.

*with this kind of pattern, 1 meter is enough for two cushion covers* 

Following are pictures that summarise the steps to sew the cushion cover :)

1) Measured the cushion and cut the fabric accordingly.

2) I add bias tape at the back side of the cushion cover.

3) Don't forget to seam the fabric.

4) This is how it should look.

5) Ok fine, I need to add button to make it close properly.

6) Done :)

Zipped Laptop Cover

Hello, 

My friend asked me to sew her a laptop cover. She prefer a slip on but I think it is better if it was zipped. For a safety measurement and it's more clean :)

I think this tutorial will do :)

Tutorial and original picture by Stitched by Crystal here

Btw, this dude sew his own laptop slip on by himself with the help of his wife. So cool :)

Original pictures and tutorial are from Noktah Hitam here

PS: I'm not sure when can I start the project. As per below picture, I have three more clothes to sew. Maybe I should stop sewing clothes after this for a moment :) Hihihi

Decorate Your iPhone Charger

Hello there, 

This time I wanted to share with you guys my project i.e. Decorate An iPhone Cover with Martha Stewart Craft - Acrylic Paint (Satin finishing)

Image from my Instagram Account

 Materials:

Paint brush

Acrylic Paints by Martha Stewart Crafts (pastel blue & yellow)

Glitter dust

Mod Podge Matte-Mat-Mat

Washi tape

Steps:

1. Gather all materials and charger
2. Cover the lower part of the charger with a washi tape to avoid any wet paint. It was so easy using washi tapes because you don't need scissor to cut it. 
3. Paint the charger with satin blue as a first layer (You need to paint it twice to get a better output). Leave it for a moment to dry
4. Create a line (border) with with a washi tape for a yellow part
5. Paint inside the border with satin yellow (You need to paint it twice to get a better output). Leave it for a moment to dry
6. Create a line (border) with a washi tape for the glitter part. Cover it with mod podge and layered it with the glitter dust. Remove any excess. 
7. Coat the charger with mod podge for finishing

This project was so easy :) & super fun!
