1st attempt

It has been quiet a while since my last post. Owwhhh...I just don't know how to manage my time properly (the main reason why I can't blog so much). So many things to be attended to and the little time that left is mainly for my books therefore no more time left for my hobby!! huhuhu..

Below are my 1st attempt...

To get them finished were not easy for me..

Really a tough time doing it...(pada kawan2 yg dah expert mesti sedang tergelakkan saya..hihi)

Though they are only a pair of 'baju kurung'...

and a blouse...

I feel like crying + crazy finishing them...huhu again

but in the end...

i managed to get it done!!!

A big applause for me!!!

The blouse...

have a look at the buttons...

i made it myself...(bangganya...memang tengah gila-gila membanggakan diri nih..)

sure, i'll make another one...

not for me...

for my kiddos lah pulak kali ni..

A baju kurung...

with quite similar print on the fabric...

tak tahulah kenapa saya suka sangat corak bunga kecil2 ni..

That's all for now..

till we meet again..

Insyaallah..

Recap..

Terbelek2 gambar yg masih bersisa dlm hard disk computer, tiba2 muncul pulak idea nak menghimpunkannya. Maka lahirlah ia dalam rupabentuk yang sebegini...

Tak banyak yg boleh dihimpunkan pun sbb mmg tak banyak hasil 'kerastangan' yg dihasilkan. Maklumlah waktu amat terbatas. Kadang2 terfikir jugak alangkah bagusnya kalau dalam satu hari ada lebih drpd 24 jam. tp sy rasa kalau muncullah saat itu pun kita semua mungkin dah tak ada di dunia yang fana ni kan?? Kiamat le jwbnya.

Just nak share a few stories. Seperti sedia maklum, sewing and crafting are truly my passion. Hanya org2 yg ada dlm kasut kita je yg mengetahui bahawa betapa BESTNYA MENJAHIT ni kan?? and because of that, I have attended a few classes just to improve my sewing skills. From that few classess I got a chance to meet new people, new set of friends and totally new environment.

Guess what?? I feel so grateful being around the new set of friends and that of totally new environment!! Hey!! They are happy and they are really contented on their life. Dulu2 saya sering juga mengeluh tentang itu dan ini..walaupun hal tu adalah hal yg remeh temeh. 'Kawan2 baru' mengajar saya tentang 'kehidupan'. Kehidupan dari perspektif yang berbeza!! Mereka sangat gembira walaupun hanya memiliki kain pasang utk dibuat baju kurung yang di beli di "Sakan"(org Kuantan mungkin tahu kewujudan "Sakan" ni). Dan saya hanya menyedari tentang kewujudan "sakan" melalui 'kawan2 baru' saya ni. Saat itu saya semakin mengakui bahawa "Money Can't Buy Happiness". Saya bersyukur kerana Allah mempertemukan sy dgn kawan2 yg sentiasa mengingatkan saya bahawa hidup ini adalah sementara dan destinasi kita yang kekal adalah 'di sana'.

Will update few things that I made during those classess later yer!!!

BOMs

Telah melangsaikan hutang piutang saya dengan kesemua rakan2 BOM. Tiga BOMs ni telah diposkan masing2 kepada Kak Maz, Fida dan Diana pada minggu lepas lagi. Harap kesemua mereka telah menerimanya. Maaf kepada mereka semua kerana lewat menghantarnya. Jadi dengan ini saya memaklumkan bahawa kesemua hutang BOM saya kepada rakan2 BOM yg lain telah habis dilangsaikan. Syukur Alhamdulillah...

Kemudian nanti saya akan updatekan BOM2 yg telah saya terima dari rakan2 BOM pula. Ada beberapa BOM lagi yg masih belum saya terima. Semuanya akan saya updatekan kemudian yerr..

Sew n Swap

berjaya menyertai 'sew n swap' project yg di'hos'kan oleh zura hari tu. Due datenya pd 31/12/2010 yg lalu tetapi sy (tanpa dirancang & tanpa diduga) terpaksa membuat due date saya sendiri. hehehe..spt yg tlh dinyatakan sblm ni (bagai jatuh ditimpa tangga), mesin jahit dan laptop sy kedua2nya terpaksa dihantar utk 'rawatan' di rumah sakit yg berdekatan. ironically nya ia berlaku serentak!!! huhu..berpeluh dan tak tidur mlm sy dibuatnya sbb terkenangkan 'hutang piutang' sy pd rakan 'swap' dan juga rakan "BOM" saya... Minta maaf pd mereka semua yerr..

dipendekkan cerita, rakan 'swap' saya ialah si manis liza 'iro-iro' tu. hop on to her site yerr.. saya jahitkan untuknya 'lunch-tote-bag' dan juga pincushion. saya peroleh tutorial lunch-tote-bag tu dari sini.

Lunch tote bag & Pincushion

liza ada b'tanya dari mana sy dapatkan fabrik lunch tote bag tu. honestly i have no idea where to get the fabric..sebabnya fabrik tu adalah pemberian kakak sepupu kepada saya. dah lama fabrik berada dlm simpanan saya dan fabrik tu juga merupakan one of my favourite. di alam maya ni pun hari tu sy pernah ternampak fabrik yang sebegitu tapi dah tak ingat di mana. kalau ada kawan2 yg sudi berkongsi di mana boleh didapati fabrik yg mcm tu sila tinggalkan jejak di sini yer..

Terketar2 tangan nak membuatnya. bermacam2 perkara berlegar di fikiran pd masa tu. dah lah dah terlepas due date, lepas tu my swap partner pun can be considered as professional whereas myself is neither ameteur nor professional!! haih...(dalam hati : tu lah gatal sangat nak join 'swap2' nih).

take it easy!!

apapun saya bersyukur kerana telah berjaya melunaskan segala hutang piutang saya. and many thanks to zura for her big effort in conducting this swap thing.

bila ada kelapangan nnti saya akan update kan entry pasal BOM saya pulak yer..

hello...

lifeless blog lately...i know...the truth is, i faced difficulty in updating my own blog because there was nothing to be updated!! hehe.. my sewing machine + lappy were 'ill' past few weeks and i need to send them both for some 'repairing and servicing' works. and due to that problems i have to 'postpone' few projects. i feel so guilty and embarrased towards my swap partner, liza and 3 other Bomesian friends (Kak Maz, Fida n Diana) for failing to fulfill my duty on time. but now those pending projects had been completed and being sent to them since yesterday. Perhaps they'll be receiving it if not today maybe tomorrow and hoping that they'll like it.

Below are the 'lunch bags' for my kids. The tutorial can be found here. They were not as perfect as ayumi's (of course and i have to admit that) but still the kids were so happy to have it. They really proud to carrying it at school because according to them all of their friends are admiring it. and they keep asking my kids where did they got the bags. kids kan suka bercerita dan kakak (my eldest) told me "kakak beritahu kawan2, mama yang jahitkan untuk kakak sambil hidung kakak ni kembang kuncup menahan rasa bangga sebab semua kawan2 puji beg tu cantik". haha.. tu yang tak tahan tu...sampai kembang kuncup hidung. But please don't get me wrong.. i'm not trying to show off whatsoever..it's just that i'm trying to share my happiness with all of you here. i guess most of you will get the same feelings whenever your kids love your work so much kan??? as for adik (my youngest) will never forget to bring it to her KAFA. there was one day when i totally forgot to bring along her lunch bag and she refused to go to school (sebenarnya she was trying to find excuse to skip her class) and what I did was I went back home just to get her lunch bag and then only she kept quite. ohh..sungguh letih melayan karenah anak2 ni kan?? tapi tu semuanya detik2 yang tak mungkin dirasai lagi apabila mereka dewasa kelak. And i'm sure we'll miss the moment one day. that's why i'm trying my level best to make them happy by giving them my full attention. I will listen to every words they say and I will try to fulfill all their wishes as long as their wishes do not contravene with our religious and our mature adult thinking. I just hope that they will grow up well and be a brilliant pious person and will be able to recognize the good and bad things. As a muslim I always tell them that the life hereafter is much more important. Whatever they do they must think of the consequences and everything that we do we must regard them as part of our ibadah. berceloteh panjang lebar pulak kali ni. dah terkeluar tajuk dah nih...

stop meraban dan merapu...come let us view the lunch bags...

Tadaa...one for kakak and one for adik. The dotted one is for adik and the stripey one is for kakak. U Can get the donut's fabric from talented young lady Zura Lovemelots tu...

Big n Small

These are the purses which i've made few months back. I have decided to give the bigger one to my mum. she don't mind at all about the colours. mom always appreciate whatever i did for her no matter how small it is and i always ask myself whether can i be like her? mom is always a person who is full of courage yet loving kan? i don't think (but i always hope) that i can love and appreciate her as much as she loves and appreciates me. Siapa lah dalam dunia ni yang tak sayangkan mak kan? and in the end i always ended up saying to myself (with guilty feelings): is that all u can do and give to your mom?? mak, if u ever got the chance to read and understand this, I just want u to know that "you are the queen of my heart". really love u and always miss u.

the one that going to be given to my mum. can be used as a handbag. big enough to put her purse and also her mobile phone. i always remind her to bring her phone along wherever she goes because i will call her everyday (without fail). kan saya dah kata saya selalu rindu kat mak!! hehe..

with one pocket inside.

i keep the small one for myself. easy to store the coins.

inner part.

sakit jari weh nak jaet bingkai purse2 nih..
happy crafting ladies!!

This is my 1st attempt to use embroidery machine. Not satisfactorily done but was so happy doing it. I am contemplating on something so this is kinda practice for me. Will do a lot of practice until myself get satisfied with the outcome. Practice makes perfect!!

Will do some 'exploration' with the functions of the machine so that I will get used to it.

Raining day here in Kuantan. Monsoon season has come. I'm happy in one way when it comes to monsoon season cause the weather will get cold most of the time but feel worry at the same time as it also can cause flood especially in the east coast area. So if you are going on a vacation during this school holidays please be more extra careful while you are driving on the road. Have a safe journey!!

daa...
