My first baju kurung pahang

This is my first baju kurung pahang

It was different with normal baju kurung that I sew previously.

For the sake of upcoming raya celebration, I sew this cloth without knowing the right technique. I can't wait for the class as it move too slow. 

So, next, I need to buy another fabric, cut it and bring it to the class. I really need to master the right technique to sew baju kurung pahang :)

Sewing my own Baju Kurung for Raya :)

I'm quite busy right now. Juggling with house chores, study, socialising and sewing my clothes.

Finally, my baju kurung was done.

On the right side is not mine, it's for my sister :) The first cloth ever made for someone else. Success.

Apart from that, I completed altering my other cloth bought from online store. Gosh, it was big and not flattering at all. I hate it! 

ps: thingking of sharing a tutorial to sew baju kurung but...it was so complicated. So, laterrrrrrrrrrrr lah...

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 :)

Add beads to make old cloth new

I bought this cardigan long time ago and it already seasoned. But I love it so much :) and it's really comfortable. 

To make it different, I sew pearl beads in a scattered patterned on the shoulder part. This project was so easy for everyone. Love it :)

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

Original picture was from my Instagram here

Sewing Project: Large Tote Bag

Hello there,

Yay I finally sew myself a Large Tote Bag :) Patterned and instruction from Cath Kidston's book, Sew! I used to post about this book here and my first project from this book is here. Fabric from IKEA. Wohoooo.....

I would say that for a beginner, it was hard to understand the instruction. Like, what is seaming? buttonhole? press inward? Duhhhh! But if we read slowly, google-d every alien words and try to imagine the construction process, we will survive. Indeed, it was not that hard :)

Original pattern has one pocket with button at the front of the bag. I hate button installation process and if I want to use the bag as a shopping bag, button is a big NO NO. It's so fussy! Instead, I change it to become two small pockets, enough to fit a small notebook or a wristlet. It's more simpler and I loveeeee lots of pockets.

The bag was lining with the same fabric. I don't have any extra fabric that suit the main fabric. Furthermore, this is an unplanned project :). Inside, there are two small pockets. One fit for coins/keys and one fit for iPhone :)

ps: I took about 5 hours to finish this sewing project. Most of the time was spend to read and understand the manual and fabric cutting.

Here are some pictures of the bags :) Love it so much!

While understanding the instruction.

Oh yeah, it's my birthday week :)
My husband treat me with a shopping spreeeeeeeee! The best gift ever.
I got myself a tunic blouse from H&M. The pattern is as above but the cutting is as below.

Then a new handbag from Charles & Keith. Something that I really want badly!

Hurm... what I don't understand is that at the website (online store - Malaysia), it cost USD69. If converted to MYR, it will be RM216.35. But at the store, it only cost around RM170. Maybe it's wise to just buy it from the store instead of their online store. 

Then a new shoes from Charles & Keith to replace my worn out office shoes. 

Hooorayyy. I love my birthday gift this year :) May this year be a good year for me and I should live more productively and enjoy every moment in my life.

Fabric cutting - so damn hard with this fabric!

I love sewing: Sewing project, Baju Kurung

Hi,

My baju kurung not done yet. But here are some pictures from my instagram :)

We were discussing on how to measure our body for baju kurung

Sewing session

Successfully put the top together

Finishing for hands

Finishing for neck - these take ages to complete :(

I just finished the finishing for neck. It's a hand sew with a technique called jahit karipap. I shall post a tutorial later on how to do this technique :)

For top of baju kurung, it's only three works to do before it's done and tomorrow we will sew the lower part of the dress.

Can't wait till it finish!
