Time Wanted!

I've got so many things in my head all planned out, future projects - a laptop sleeve, a freestyle mini quilt, a handbag for my daughter in time for Raya, a patchwork bag experiment - on top of the current things we're making for the shop... and no time to do any sewing!!!


Sigh... Didn't get any sewing done for my mom last week... This week, only managed to do some hand-quilting earlier today but no more... ironing chores are waiting for me :(


Here's to more craft work time this week!

All Things Space-y! :)

When the daddy-to-be is someone who had the enviable experience of going into space, it's no surprise la that the theme for the baby is astronauts, space & the galaxy :)



The baby quilt was appliqued with different images in each block (astronaut, the Earth, the Sun, stars, moon & spaceship), in vibrant colors as requested by the parents-to-be. We echoed the same image & color combo for the cot bumpers but mixed it up a bit for the pillow and bolster covers.


Just had to take one last pic before packing everything up in its own carrying bag!


We really enjoyed making this order, and we hope both Datuk & Datin Dr enjoy using the set soon! :)

Kekabu sleep set - special order

Fiza wanted a sleep set (mattress, pillow & quilt) in kekabu for her son, and took a fancy to these bright fabrics I've used on a couple of other quilts... Luckily had some in hand, so got to work...


This was the quilt, pillow & bolster case... the quilt used cotton batting, which was thinner, but just as warm and more comfortable for her son...




She had her preferred mattress size, so all we had to do was make one (a very nice and plump mattress!) and pair it with the striped cover (secured with ties).



The whole set, as ordered... She can remove the mattress covers for washing as well as alternate with new ones if required... The day after Fiza picked up her order, I was told her son enjoyed sleeping on the mattress so much that he overslept! :) No problem, little kiddies don't have to rush :)



If anyone wants a kekabu set made to order, drop us a line! Kekabu's in limited quantities though, so hurry :)
