The urge....

... to cut fabric and sew is very strong!!! Especially when I'm as tired out and stressed out as I am right now...

My head's too tired to think of what to make though.... Maybe I'll just finger some fabric first...

Reversible floppy tote in dire need of a name...

I made up my customer's order as soon as I was done with my sample. I made a few changes along the way - added ties, used home-dec cotton as interfacing/batting since the cotton body & lining only would have been too light, quilted more lines on the handle.

I love how soft the bag is, and how much it can carry hehehe... It looks great too once it's actually worn (it was really tough trying to get decent pics for it on its own!)

I think it needs a proper name, but right now I can't really think of a suitable one... Tried asking my daughter for ideas and she gave me a name from a book she's reading hehehe... Can aaa?

It's already with its owner... I hope she gets lots of love & use out of it :)

Envelope pouches for iPhones & Blackberries

I've always wanted to buy a few keyka lou patterns, and I finally bought a couple (the box wallet pouch was the first one I made). This was the first batch of envelope pouches using a keyka lou design, & I love them to bits!!

They're quite easy to make, but I spent more time handsewing the Velcro tabs & decorative buttons than the actual pouch assembly since I opted not to use elastic ties, so I'll need to figure out a better, more efficient way of doing that.

They fit an iPhone or blackberry bold phone, or even business cards if you want :)

Only the blue polkadot one is still available right now... I've got a few more in the works!

Box wallet pouches

I purchased Keyka Lou's patterns for several itty-bitty pouches & tried them out. This is from the first batch :)

I've put them in the shop. They are selling for RM28 per pouch. Perfectly sized for some cards, cash & maybe a small phone... So adorable!
