Pretty, dainty thing

I made this corduroy-topped covered button first and was deciding between silver or bronze ring base. While I can't do anything about the button base which is aluminium, I can stick anything I like below. Chose the antique bronze one in the end. It seems to go with the dainty flower print. Silver would have been a clash, fighting for attention. Happy :-)

Have a blessed day!

ps: I've been thinking about the (private) pre-Christmas sale on 23 November. I'll be selling some items at clearance prices but I'll be introducing some new items as well. Hopefully, the material'll arrive in time for me to make by then, LOL!

What's in store

We'll be having a private sale in November. These are some of the magnets that we've made in preparation. Fabric-covered with a mixture of cotton-linen blend, quilting cotton, flannel or oxford cotton (some with lace). The magnets were E6000ed so you know they won't fall off even in the washing machine, LOL! Packed in sets of 4 by colour scheme for easy gift-giving.

Fun and colourful scrunchies. These are large ones, about 15cm across when fully opened up. Mini ones available but will post pic later. 

Christmas 2012 orders will be taken till 23 30Nov and then we'll be taking a longer than usual break after finishing these orders. Some new items coming up so watch this space.

Have a blessed day!

New fabrics are in!

I have been lazy updating the fabric selection. There're just so many :-(
Anyway, since I compiled these, I will share them with you. First lot is suitable for reversible totes 'cos they're of medium to heavy weight (the Kono Sanae canvas, T). Someone has called dibs for these already!

And some light weight fabrics. One day, I'll get round to taking pics of all the fabrics....just not today :-)
Somehow, the fabric A reminds me of Cath Kidston oilcloth print. I like her prints and her bags. Sadly, there are already so many imititations out there :-(

Have a blessed day!

More pencil cases

It's odd sometimes when the requests come in, they come in batches. I'd get requests for similar items from different people about the same time. It's interesting to see how they pair the fabrics too. Sometimes what I think doesn't work turns out better than I imagined. So I learnt to hold back my comments on the prints of the fabric and only suggest when it comes to the weight of the fabric.

Two flat rectangular pencil cases. Both fully lined, personalised and not interfaced. Smaller one is made from linen and corduroy on the outside and lined with calico. Larger has US import super combed blue lifesavers cotton lined with Korean import blue canvas on the inside. Daiso star zip and D-ring extras.

This is my first plain linen creation and I like working with linen. There are so many types of linen out there (I bought 3 recently) and they have different textures, coarseness and colour. They match so well too. Must be why so many zakka items use them. Looking forward to more lace and embroidered items :-)

Have a blessed day!



Not for sale - E's

Does this look familiar? I used the same beige background corduroy as the reversible bag in an earlier post. This fits a T24 Ferror Roche box and then some. Fully lined interior and pockets as usual. There's a heart-shaped applique inside, opposite the pockets. Giving it to E tomorrow, hope she likes it!
