More bags to tote around for solat terawih..

The soft curvy shape baby bag is complete ..

This bag is rich with pockets...5 on the outside and hmmmm...and about  4 on the inside.,perhaps...lost count..Anyway this pattern is based on Lisa Lam's pattern but i made a slight modification on the handles ...i didn't like the adjustable longish skinny strap as i don't look good in it..and included a bias at the top of the bag..merely to hide an accidental cut i made while busy snipping trying to reduce the bulkiness at the top seam....accidents happen all the time especially when the clock is ticking close to 12 midnight and i was super excited to get this bag done..i almost got it done at my workstation  earlier in the day but a senior lady customer took too much time deciding with fabric to choose for her bedroom..but i really enjoy her company..

I had so much fun constructing and sewing this bag .Lisa's tutorial is really super easy to digest,but mind you this pattern is not recomended for beginners..the flush zip pocket  and the slimline concealed top edge zip is not something you can accomplished without earlier practice.

Overall i think new mothers will like this roomy bag ..As for me i will bring it to the gym or to the swimming pool...kakakaka..

The accidental cut that calls for a detour from the original pattern...

The Fashionista Baby Bag....Lisa Lam

Since yesterday evening i was preoccupied flipping through my newly acquired bag making book...A BAG FOR ALL REASONS..by the talented bag making lady LISA LAM..As i am easily fascinated with big roomy bags ,i have chosen her fashionista baby bag to start the ball rolling.

I just need another session to wind up everything..Stay tune for my review and to view the finished product..

A very bluey week

The color blue has overpowered me this week.At first it was the blue baby set that got me glued to the sewing machine for hours .Typical of me if i start on a project there is no stopping till it is done.While cleaning up my stash...which is a never ending task but a good therapy for my heart and soul(you will think i am weird unless you are just another gila kain kind of a person)i found another hearthy blue..It is not just the blue that was calling on me but the touch of yellow and streak of green...I knew i had to team up this three fabric and make something happen..

Its a lovely sunny saturday while i am writing this post.,and my heart is singing..Looking forward for a happy joyous weekend....Have a fun week end you  alls..

My second teardrop bag using Amy Butler's pattern book

I love making this bag.The tutorial is so simple to follow and with some basic knowledge in bag making any sewer can complete this project in 2 hours,that is considering the machine does not encounter any technical problem along the way..Since my confidence level has been raised after the first time, i tried using verona velvet this time around I must say i like how it has turn out.

While i am at it i made the coin purse as well since the technique is the same  

 And here is the first one that i did and it has been taken...





I will try to find time making more of this beauties since the demand is overwhelming.

A new project

Bought this book many moons ago but never got around to seriously seat and tackle any of the easy tutorials.But a few days ago while folding and unfolding my ever expanding stash i stumble on this gorgeous material and i knew i had to create something out of it..While flipping through the pages i  could not resist looking at  this simple adorable spa pouch.I had to try making it..

I might have to change the black coloured drawstring to something more orangey..
