Finally...

Everything is going to be OK..

An inspiring book from Cherie..

Finally I've completed the Squeezy Purse orders :) I'm happy & pleased with how they turned out..

This time I decided to spread out the project into three days..

1st Night : 

Prepare the Hearts 

Measured & Cut all fabrics to the right size 

and Most IMPORTANTLY..Faray Stoppa for all sides of the fabrics to stop the fraying..

Ready to go..

2nd Day:

Completed my Sunshine & Stripes edition :) Bright and cheerful colours for Putri..

I love polka dots :)

3rd Day:

I decided to complete both of Cheryl's orders at the same time..

My Two little Birdies :)

A Garden of Flowers - Cherie inspired..

I really enjoyed this project and hope to make more in the future..

At the moment, I'm completing two sets of buntings..a Red & Blue theme using  

Moda's Just Wing It collection..

Until then we shall meet again..

Love,

Let's spread the Love..

Yes,I have been MIA-ing a lot..

but I'm back..

Current obsession:

Making felt hearts with mini cute buttons for my 

upcoming Squeezy Purse ( inspired by Rashida ).
 A quick look at the Purses that I have completed so far....

First and foremost..let me present to you..

the CHRISSIE :)

Followed by the LAURA :)

and last but not least, my most recent, the CHERIE :)

I think this can be a beautiful gift for your loved ones..filled with little cute things..or candies in my case :)

I can't wait to get them done and send them to good loving homes.

I love the colour scheme of the fabrics..I hope it will make you happy like it did to me :)

Hopefully I'll get the flex frames by the end of the week so the purse will be ready by next week..
Just in time for Christmas..

Christmas Love

Lots of Love,

Buttons & Hearts

 Remember this? A fabulous tutorial from Rashida of iHeartLinen comes in very handy..

I've started a new project for a friend, Cherie..

In the middle of the night  I was inspired to create these hearts...

I tried two options, gluing the hearts or sewing them one by one..

Clearly the later is the better option though a little more tedious..but less messy at all...

I guess everything's trial and error right. You won't learn till you try it..

TRIAL 1:

Gluing in process..sigh..so messy and not too happy with the outcome..

 TRIAL 2:

Sewing each button one by one..

I really enjoy making them that i decided to make another one :) 

A close up of my heart :)

I have decided to use the hearts as a finishing embellishment on my little coin purse..

My Loyal Janome..

 A Close up of my fabric choices

Thanks Rashida from iHeartLinen for inspiring me to make the purse..

Again using blanket stitch to secure the Heart to the coin purse..

The inside Cherry lining :)

All pack up to go to a beautiful home ;)

I hope you'll like this..

Sewing from the Heart :)

A little Love is coming your way soon..

me Ninot

Inspired by Rashida :)

Having my daily dose of inspiration from Rashida's I heart linen blog, I found this awesome tutorial. I decided to give it a try and created my version for my two lovelies; Chrissie & Laura. The tutorial is so easy to understand and with the help of the photographic and simple to read instructions, I was able to create each purse in two hours while watching a movie.. A BIG THANK YOU to Rashida for making this possible for me...

Do check out Rashida's blog at http://iheartlinen.typepad.com/ It's so inspiring and her book
I Love Patchwork is a must read :)
