last week & yesterday

A zipper pouch for my mom.

 

 

A small yo-yo and a pearl for her because she likes both. And I used quilting thread to hand quilt the patchwork onto a soft thin batting.

 

 

The back is natural linen with lace. I also used the same lace for attachment of an O-ring so that she can hang her favourite charms.

 

 

Interior is one of my favourite floral fabric. I did not bear to use it since I only had a really small piece left. But for my mom, it's ok because I know she will definitely like it as much as I do.

 

 

 

Last week, I also started with my baby blanket. The quilt top is ready and I'm starting to hand quilt it.

 

 

 

Yesterday, I made two headbands for Chilli and me. One with MT washi tape and ther other with fabric tape (available in my store soon). I used a plain black headband and just twirl the tapes around. A short crafting time to calm myself in the middle of kids tantrums.

 

 

A happy mail that came yesterday! Look at all the beautiful fabrics!

 

 

 

Yes, I know we are having a baby boy coming but I just cannot resist floral fabrics. You can get them from here, one of my favourite online fabric stores.

 

I have a tutorial on the round pouch coming up soon. Thank you for all the sweet mails regarding the pouch. I am not selling patterns now. Maybe in the near future if I'm lucky?

hexagon round pouch & an ipad casing

I love making hexies. They are therapeutic and pretty to look at. But usually I am not sure what to do with them. This time, I wanted to make coasters but after seeing the pretty red zipper on my desk, I changed my mind and started sewing this round pouch...

 

I used linen to sew the hexie flower on and added quilting details using red quilting thread. The pouch is fully handsewn. That explains why I took so much time to complete it... Ah yes, I'm really slow.

 

 

Inside is red gingham fabric by Lecien. You can find it here.

 

 

 Back of the pouch is a simple and nice lace. It's my favourite.

Other than sewing the hexagon round pouch, I also made an iPad casing for myself. It fits really well but the minus point is that it's not waterproof. So my husband is not really keen to use it.

The beautiful fabric is by Sandi Henderson Meadowsweet and the yellow gingham is again by Lecien Japan. I really like fabrics by Sandi Henderson, other than the usual Japan fabrics I adore. I bought both fabrics from Etsy.

 

Inside is just velcro closing since magnetic button is not advisable for electronic products.

 

Now my table is a little free, so I wish to work on a small quilt for baby....

This pillow took me quite a while to handsew. I think the yo-yos (sewn with all my favourite fabrics) make an interesting detail to the pillow. The only thing I'm still not quite satisfied is the binding. I still cannot find a better fabric for the binding other than red. Any suggestion?

 

Since I do not have embroidery floss, I used quilting thread for handstitching the words. Each yo-yo is also sewn in place so I can just throw the pillow into the sewing machine (hand-wash no-spin function) to wash.

These yo-yos are small sized. I should make bigger ones to save trouble filling up the space. But I enjoyed making them, especially when I needed a therapeutic break.

The back is simple choice with my favourite lace. This is machine stitched.

Now I'm almost 24 weeks with baby #3. I'm intending to sew a small blanket for him. Handstitching is slow but I cannot find a quilter nearby. So I'm still thinking how to do it in the fastest way.

 

Anyway, I'm sewing a few hexies now...

I chanced upon this quote in a magazine and thought about the  meaning to it for quite some time. Recently, I'm having a rather tough time dealing with my children. Not that they misbehave, it's the consistent nonsensical tantrums and frustrations. I try my best to keep my cool at all times but there are moments I nearly pulled my hair out. Screamings and cryings drive me crazy. My patience runs thin. And I break down a few times, feeling like a lousy mom. But whenever I feel lost and helpless, I remind myself of this quote. Love is all what our children need.
