Pretty in pink...

I wondered why I never made more bags of this particular color combo... to me, it's strikingly pretty & sweet, and so far my dear daughter's the only one with this bag... I think maybe cos I have really limited amounts of the yellow fabric, sayang nak pakai hehehe...

Well, not anymore! I made another one, and it's up for grabs!

It measures 8" in width x 13" in height x 3" in depth, the same size as my daughter's. It's perfect for books and small files (too snug for A4 document files tho, so probably not advisable for that purpose). Easily washable (I've tried it on my other bags and they're not spoiled yet heheh...), just soak in gentle soapy water (preferably those lingerie/silk detergents) and rinse off (please don't wring it!!) and hang to dry...

The pocket's big enough to fit an iPhone or any similar-sized object. It's made from 100% cotton (heavy cotton on the outside, regular cotton inside).

Price: RM 35 only :)

New - Banana bags!

I'm pretty much self-taught from books when it comes to bag-making, so at this point I've been focused more on making totes compared to other types of bags. My mom, being the more experienced sewist (is there such a word?), is more adventurous... hence the following bags :)

These two were made using 100% designer American cotton, inside & out, and are really quite large (those who are used to carrying big bags will appreciate them, I'm sure...)

Measurements: 21" x 7" x 7"

Materials: 100% designer American cotton

Price: RM 140 each

Both are available! Get a truly unique piece right now :)

Welcome!

I've just recently caught the sewing bug, and the results are several items (mainly the style of tudung commonly known as DIY tudung) that I wish to share with others for their use.

At first, I only learnt to sew these for my own purpose (since I get to choose the pattern and fabrics that I like), but I began making more just for the fun of it, and decided to put these pretty things up for sale.

Of course, as a novice, my work may not be at the same level as the ones sold in boutiques, but the quality control is just as strict! Basically, I will only sell items that I don't mind using for myself. At the same time, I will continuously strive to improve the quality of items that I produce.

I try to price my items competitively, as a measure of the quality of work as well as the quality of the materials used.

In time, more items besides tudung will be put up for sale, as I'm doing a joint-venture with my mother :)

I'm really excited about doing this, as I find the whole experience of making items by hand incredibly stress-relieving and satisfying.

Be on the lookout for new items often! I hope you like what you see, and enjoy your purchase!
