Christmas 2012 Mouse Ornaments

Cheese and Biscuit are very closed friends, Cheese loves making snow balls and he asks Biscuit to come out
to play on the Snow hill. Biscuit has a Christmas pudding and she wants to share with Cheese.

They have lots of things to talk about  their plans for Christmas holidays. Now, they are on the way to a lovely lady in United States.





  




Cheese and Biscuit are made of cotton fabric, their out fits - from sock and felt, logs and wood - from felt and machine embroidery, hand embroidered snow drops, hand crocheted snow ball and Christmas pudding.
Lots and lots of fun to make.

Pocket size doll

When I was very little, my sister and I made our own toys - paper dolls, cut out lots of magazine to use for making up stories to go with our paper dolls. I, all the times, drew the dolls and outfits. We had so much fun and never asked mum to buy toys.

I follow my heart playing with dolls again, I have this pocket size doll Soraya where ever I go. Athi likes the idea, he has his monkey friend around.

Her hair is made of hand crocheted chains, stitch to form circle and sew lots of circles to her head.

The fruity pouch

I love this fabric, it comes with 2 sides printed and from Korea. It is Linen/cotton mixed fabric.
I wanted to make it so Zakka and I started with the size I like.
I decorated the pouch with the zipper puller which I designed the leather string, bow, and covered button. All of the bits parts using the same fabric. The covered buttons, I cut the fruit parts on the fabric.
I enjoyed sewing this pouch so much because the idea kept coming while I was working with it.

size  7 ''  x 5 '' x 1.25''

My recent handmade items



I have made a purse and a pouch so far, one is the black purse which I started sewing and added the designs along the way through. This black cotton fabric came from Thailand, my mum bought it for her dress and she gave me the leftover pieces.
I like the texture of the fabric, I sewn the tiny buttons to bright the colours up and used the linen bias to cover the zipper part.

I sewn the exterior purse first and then the same for the lining, I added a half inches width of the gusset to make the room for the purse.  At the top part, I finished off with the bias fabric tape and sewn the zipper on. I love to sew my purses this way,  I used a covered button to the end of zipper.

size is 5''  x  4 ''  x 0.50 ''

Teddy bears in the garden

It is so cute, I sewn a nintendo bag for my niece using this fabric and she loves it. I made this case big enough for stationery, cellphone, make up essential and add a bit on the zipper puller.


Fold over pouch

How long have I neglected my own blog? I have not sewn much since last post, I have a bit more times now so let get on with sewing agian.
My mum gave me this silk fabric since last June, she always wears silk clothes and they have to be made to order. She askes her dressmaker to keep the leftover pieces for me. I like the texture and the colour of this fabric and tried to think what should I sew. I did not want to add many things on the fabric, so I decide to sew a simple pouch for carrying make up, cell phone etc....

The simple pattern is just a rectangular and I used a medium weight interfacing, the interior fabric is a lovely cotton from Thailand. I secured the top with a leather magnetic button.
