Suede straps

Made these suede straps on a whim. The suede was meant for braided cuffs but I took some and trimmed it and made into these straps. In the past, the detachable straps I've made were always from the same fabric as the main body. This suede strap is therefore a stark contrast. I like it anyway :-)

All have a swivel hook to attach to any pouch that has a D-ring.

Have a blessed day!

What were you doing at 6am today?

What time do you wake up? The alarm on my phone wakes me up earlier than the time I set because my phone has gained time over the past few months. I now wake up 7 mins earlier :-)

This morning, I woke up with this idea in my head. I just grabbed 'remnant' straps that I had on my sewing table, metal snaps and a rivet. Easy peasy design which took me a while because (1) I couldn't find the metal snap caps and (2) the straps were too thick and I spent more time pushing the spikes through than banging the metal pieces together.

I took DS' earpiece to 'model' my cable organizer and asked for their opinions. DS looked up from the newspaper and said 'OK'. His 'OK' runs the gamut from 'acceptable' to 'any answer as long as there's an answer', which is basically no answer to me. DD piped in with a 'can I have that in green?' *roll eyes*

Anyway, this was a quick fun thing to do and I'm off to the rest of a wonderful day!

Have a blessed day too :-)

Brights vs florals vs neutrals

I can't decide which type I like best, brights, florals or neutrals. There are also polka dots and cartoon/character designs and such. So many varieties out there, so tempting :-) Ditto that for purse hardware too. I'm using shiny silver and antique brass.

All of these are zipper pouches for hand-sewing to close the gap where I turn it proper way out after sewing. Won't say more....lots to sew today :-)

Have a blessed weekend!

Cushioned comfort

DD asked me if Kingston is a good brand. I have no idea. I've kind of lost touch with staying in the know for  technology. My knowledge of Kingston is that it has RAM as well and that it's been around for a while. As long as it works as it should, no?

Anyway, made this portable HDD pouch on a whim. I basically took the HDD and some scrap fabric and winged it from there. Estimation was done by placing the HDD on the fabric and cutting a rough margin. Ditto that for the flap (which I didn't know if it would reach the pocket) and ditto that for the pocket which was made from the remainder of the scrap fabric. I had lots of microfibre too but in ivory. I like how the colours come together, by the way :-) I riveted the wrist strap for a more 'finished' look.

Have a blessed day!

Sneak preview - straps

Leftmost and Rightmost - SOLD
Middle one - available

Went fabric shopping on Saturday and look what I found - Lecien dots. I can't decide if I prefer Lecien or Yuwa (that's the fabric in the middle), or plain 1mm dots (that's Korean imported fabric). I choose fabric if the print catches my eye but sometimes I buy simply 'cos the fabric feels so soothing to touch. But I digress.
These are 3 straps meant for wristlets. I decided to make the straps first before the zipper pouch for a change. Which do you prefer?
Have a blessed evening!
