Back to school

T'was a long CNY break, wasn't it? :-)

Made these before and during the break. The studs are those with the claws, not the iron on type. Each stud has 4 claws and I used many here :-( Wasn't easy bending the claws back. The journal was fun. This was done without the end-pages that's why there's only a single line out on the cover at each hole. I think the next time I do this I'll use double. Or maybe I'll just stick to end-pages.

Have a blessed day!

OOAK

This might well be the only one. I had such a hard time sewing the PU leather snap onto the Japanese laminate. Surely there must be an easier way to attach it but I've yet to figure out. Maybe it'll be easier with the canvas laminate. I'll try that soon.

Fourteen pockets here made out of dark chocolate cotton-linen blend and bound with oatmeal of the same material. I like how the colours go together for a cheery and functional card wallet.

Have a blessed day!

Simple florals

This is my last piece of PU leather and snap. I've bought more but it takes so long to arrive that I'm wondering if I'll try to make my own. But that means I'll have to do the snaps myself and the tool for my snaps have yet to arrive, LOL!

Cellphone sleeve made from the Cath Kidston lookalike material. It's a bit like oilcloth, or maybe it really is. Just reminds me of that 'cos of the prints and texture. Lined this with super soft dimpled microfibre. I was thinking of saying that it's large enough to fit DD's Samsung Galaxy Ace but it seems lots of phones are getting larger. To think that someone once laughed at my Nokia e61i.

Have a blessed day!

Jelly roll series

I decided to concentrate on this range of cottons. After making these, I still have 1 more jelly roll that I forgot about, LOL! These were made with half the width of a jelly roll strip, actually. Narrower than a honey bun strip. Fun to sew, nevertheless. I still have a list of some other items to make but I thought I'd just post this update first.

More details on Facebook!

ps: A jelly roll is made up of strips of fabric 2.5" wide x width of fabric.

pps: I like the drawstring bag the most. It's not interfaced (padded) yet it's not too floppy since the strip of fabric basically doubled up behind so effectively, there are 3 layers of fabric.

Have a blessed day!
