birthdays!

i love birthday events, they just give me another reason to sew something special for someone :D

i made this little yukata for a tweetmomma friend's 1 y/o son birthday .isnt it cute?? this is my first time sewing for boys but im glad it turned out fine. now i want a boy for myself!

and few days ago we were invited to another bday party by hubs colleague, when i told him to buy the bday present for the bday girl, he said y dont u sew something instead ? haha senang cakapp. it was so last minute and i didnt have enuff time to sew a garment, so i decided to sew a little handbag for the 2 y/o bday girl. ayra saw the handbag and claimed it as hers immediately. i definitely need to sew her another one for this coming raya!
didnt use any pattern for this handbag, i just cut the fabric spontaneously and went along with it. glad it turned out fine!

the cute outer fabric is from @arifahira :D (padded)
closure : magnetic button

repurpose: baby roomwear

man im so good at this! haha.
i found some adults baju tido at carrefour that cost only RM5 each so i bought some not for me but to be turned into ayra’s  roomwear heheh cheapskate LOL. its soo much fun doing the repurpose projects coz its easy and i dont need to bentang kain besar2 n cut, plus u can do so many things with just a little time considering u can re-use the hem  n everything. easy peasy!
so here are some of the pictures. sorry i didnt take the pic of the whole process, but judging by this photos, i think u can already get the picture of the whole idea.

susah betul nak snap photo. too active!

repurpose: baby wide leg capri pants

i made a khakis like pants for Ayra by repuposing my prev company's uniform. n it turned out soo cool . unfortunatly the length of the pants was a wee bit unbalance. haha gonna fix it later.

little red dress

dress for baby tasneem.
baby tasneem turned 2 couple weeks back, n nannoor held a party n invited us. so i decided to sew her DD a little flowery n dotty red dress a bday gift, it only take me one night to cut n sew everything up, but i actually messed up the neck part which i had wrongly cut but somehow i managed to fix it coz i was too sleepy to cut the part all over again.
i made a lill ruffle at the shoulder , and add some lace so it can be tied at the back. i bought the lace at a 100yen shop in japan b4 i got back without knowing what to do with it  , but im glad that the finally find its purpose .
i always buy things i dont have any plan  to use but in the end i use it anyway, so thats why  i think anything about sewing is a worth investment, seriously hehe.i guess hubs understand this very much.
btw i use the leftover fabric to make the flower applique which i love soo soo much about this dress. plannig to to make one for ayra but preferably to be worn once she can walk. long dress and a  crawling  baby just dont do well together if u know what i mean.

n of course we couldnt resist to ‘testdrive’ with our very own lil model , hehe

hope u like it nannoor!

i dug a bunch of my old clothes from Japan which i dont wear anymore n found some t-shirts from uniqlo which i really really love for the comfy knit fabric.

i took one border shirt that was quite old (bought on my 1st year) there were holes here n there, i dont think ill be wearing it again. so i decided to use the body parts to make ayra a pair of room pants.

this is the easiest project ive ever made, i took barely 10 minutes to finish it. you can find the tutorial all over the internet. but unfortunately i cut the waist part a bit short , they became a low-rise pants LOL. maybe ill alter them later.

little red dress

i bought this cheap cotton fabric from kamdar wayy back when i was pregnant with you

i wanted to make the dress with a much much prettier patterned cotton, but too afraid if i waste the expensive fabric so i settled with this.but it turned out i did fine. !:D

i cut the the fabric according to a pattern i got from a japanese sewing book couple months back with u next to me trying to eat the pieces. owh btw i hate tracing. it kills me.

just finished the dress tonight, will send the dress to make buttonhol on the backside tomorrow.

ill add some embellishments (applique or embroidery or ur name maybe) when i have the time.

btw pls ignore the unmatching white thread, i only have one bobbin, n was too lazy to change to red one. (hoho mmg tak leh buat jual ini macam)

infant baju kurung

Yeap, u read me right, i sew! for the first time in my life i sew a garment! fuh kagummm. ini betul2 yareba dekiru.
