It's been a while...

December and January sewing:

was busy lately so I haven't had the time to update my blog. But here are some of the items I have sewn so far. Starting with the boxy pencil case, a medium pouch with handle (inspired by keykalou dumpling pouch design), the cherry pouch (big size), pencil cases for my niece and sister and the keykalou oh so famous dumpling pouch design. One I actually quilted just to practice doing it. Hmm...More update coming up. At the moment, I'm still soooo busy with work in the office. With my maid ran away end of last year, my sewing time is just limited. *sigh* What more updating and surfing the net. 

My pouch has arrived!!

as you can see in the pic above, my craft swap partner Mdm Zai made and sent this lovely pouch to me. Look at those vibrant colours! I just love it. What a wonderful idea. Thanks Mdm Zai!

Craft Swap challenge!

I participated in a craft swap organised by a group/ page in facebook site. It's the GMJ (Geng Mesin Jahit) or sewing machine gang or so if translated in English. The theme is something small like a pencil case, makeup pouch or wristlet. So I decided to try out a pattern  I bought long ago (which I had never found the time to do) but with small changes just to make my sewing experience as easy as can be. So here it is, a medium pouch. Fabric from FQ sets I bought from an FB friend as well. As this is my first ever pouch, I should be proud of myself. Not very neat, but not that bad too. Don't you think? Well, this is going for my craft swap partner which was chosen randomly. I hope she will be happy to receive this. It has been a great learning experience. Might want to make more of this. A fully quilted pouch maybe. Any ideas?
BTW, I'm eagerly waiting for my house pouch to arrive (made and sent by my craft swap partner too). Will blog about it soon.
