Pink elephant



Hehehe...finally...after 1 year only get to passed to Asha for her niece. The elephant was done quite long ago but I was just too lazy to sew the cloth for the back of the elephant. This is one of the most difficult sewing I ever done. I was afraid the ear will not be balanced thus I hand sewn it after I am done with the body...(broke several needles in the process^^)...I choose to sew the 'happy' eyes cos I think it looks cute in the paper fish that I used to do. I made this based on a key chain I received from my friend...most of my other key chain the elephant only have two legs...so I need to use some imagination to make this four legs elephant. Hopefully the little owner will like it!!!

Mom's Handphone Casing



My mom wanted me to make a handphone casing for her after I made mine. She liked my purple cloth a lot but there is not much left. I just bought a checkered cloth so I thought of mixing both the cloths. I sew 3 hearts on the cover just to hold the foam in place...then I made a pink heart from my previous project's cloth to hang. I used an extra big button as my mom doesn't want the magnetic button when I suggested it to her. My mom love it but my sis say the cloths' colours doesn't match each other. Anyway, its for my mom so as long as she love it then it doesn't matter much.

Wooden Drawers


hmm...must practice my photography skills already. Anyway, I've got a piece of wood for very long already and was too lazy to make it to any use besides sometimes making it my table to do my things. Since I am free now I decided to make it into a little drawers. I only able to make a 2 tier as the wood is not that big and if I make a smaller size, I won't be able to keep anything useful in it. The space inside is about 10cm*10cm. I was thinking to get the kitchen drawers knob handle but I decided to try my carving knives and I made the little hearts and I think the size is ok so I just use that instead. This is my first time I tried to make things out of wood, besides during school time. It's more difficult to make as compared to mounting board but I guess I just have to hope that it last longer than the other projects that I've made ^^

My Handphone Casing


There is some left over from my previous bags so I made a handphone cover for my handphone since the one I got when i purchase the phone is practically 'peeling off'. Its a little plain so i added a flower (also made from cloths in my previous project).

My Previous Projects ^^



I was looking around arranging my things and cleaning up my place and I remembered about my previous projects. I started making the pink and green boxes first. The green one is for diskettes (yes...it was back when thumb drive is still very very new in the market and we are still using the diskettes) and the pink one is for cds. Then I made the beige one for my hair pins. I made some other boxes but can't remember where I keep it. Then my proudest is the green 3 tier box. If i remembered correctly (especially with the diskettes box), I've made these boxes before I went to Australia to study so it should be around 2004...so its about 6 years dy...the boxes are not in their best condition anymore with the wear and tear and also water stains but I didn't know that these boxes can last for so many years!!!

First Mini Bag


It's been very long since I last sew so I went and bought these two types of cloths when I was very stress with my work. For the checkered side, I need to measure the cloths and cut it into small pieces, stick it on the iron on cloth and sew it up. The measuring and cutting takes a lot of time and since I was busy with my work, it took me very long to finish it. I thought of making a reversible bag so I can two different type of bag by just turning inside out. To do this, I have to think of the way to sew the 'inside' so that it is presentable when reversed. I added a small pocket for me to put my hp or keys there so that I can fish it out easily. I was worried that the mouth of the pocket to be too big so I put eyelets there for me to put ribbons to pull it tight if I want to but it turn out to be ok so I did not put in the ribbons. I am really satisfied with this bag since its been so long since I sew and I have never made this kind of bag before.

Reversible Tote



I needed a decent bag for my documents since we need to carry a lot of documents around. I used to use the eco bags that I've got from Australia but its getting old so I thought I would make one. I like my previous bag that is reversible so I make another reversible one ^^. Since its for documents, I did not make it very fancy just a plain pink on one side and the other side, half pink half purple. I like the purple a lot!!! With this bag, I can use it to carry my work documents and also my study file to go exam. Well that's the whole purpose as I measure based on both those files.
