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..

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

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

All pack up to go to a beautiful home ;)

I hope you'll like this..

A little Love is coming your way soon..

My Sunday Afternoon

I was supposed to make many things purses, buntings and the list goes on...but I got side tracked!!

I just realise that I have not made my very own sewing essential, THE PINCUSHION.

Hence, I decided that...

Today's quick project will be making Pincushion..

Thanks to My First Sewing book by Cico Kids, I found the style of pincushion that I adore.

Thank God for Libraries :)

I love this book :) Very easy to follow and understand. Although, it's meant for kids, it doesn't mean we can't use it..Well, there's an inner child in every one of us... For this mini project, I decided to utilise the scraps that I have just sorted out earlier on..and fabric gifts from my close friends..

Colourful instructions are always welcomed :)

I have chosen flowers and polka dots. Always a favourite. Fabrics are from my scrap boxes and some are from Laura and Chrissie :) Thanks my lovelies..

I backstitch all the pieces together by hand.. A little tedious but was a peaceful process while

watching videos online..Honestly, I was a little lazy to set up the sewing machine..

Final touches with a little yoyo and a button that I made :)

Finally I can focus on creating more projects..

Yaay!!

Lots of Love,
