I don't have an iPhone

I don't think I'll get one, simply because I prefer a larger screen.

Made this cellphone sleeve from cotton linen. That is becoming the fabric of choice recently. I like it's texture. If you remember the red bus tote? That has the nicest texture I've come across for this fabric, even nicer than Nesshome!

Have a blessed morning!

I would like some Carbonara, please?

DS does a mean Carbonara. He likes it with the Fairprice back bacon (less fat) and San Remo vegeroni spirals. I like it when DS prepares it, I just don't like the mess after, LOL!

Nesshome print (pasta and cheese). I didn't take a pic of the cheese. DS chose it to go with the pasta. Fully lined with panel of pockets inside. Double handles again. I'm starting to like double handles though it means I have to restock my webbing soon.

Have a blessed morning!

DEAR season again!

16 Nov 2013 to 31 Jan 2014

It's that time of the year again when you can Drop Everything And Read. During this DEAR season, you can borrow double the number of books. What best to make than a library bag :-)

Fully lined and reversible (other side is red and white stripes) and made from cotton linen. I've included both shoulder and hand cary handles. There are no pockets for this because it's difficult to stuff books into a bag and pockets get in the way. Instead, there's a little D-ring near the handles that I can use to hook on a wristlet or keys or whatever. Fun!

Have a blessed morning!

Pink, Pinker or ?

I like selvedges.

Some are so pretty, like this one from Nesshome. Can't remember which print this was but it surely wasn't the colourful strips. The colour circles don't match.

This is going to be a pouch / pencil case. Problem now is, I can't decide which pink to use. I'm thinking leftmost. What do you think?

Have a blessed morning!

I like these zips. I like them for the flexibility in length since I bought them by the yard. Bought 18 colours! Lol! Only two things I'm not happy with are that there aren't matching zipper pulls for each of the colours (I only bought silver and antique bronze pulls) and that it takes a fair bit of effort to put the pull on.

Fundraising : Typhoon Haiyan Relief

Thank you, all, who have contributed to this fundraising!

I chickened out and didn't go to Penang Lane but transferred online.

If you wish to contribute, there are various methods still, whether in cash or kind.

Have a blessed weekend!

WIP: Reversible Totes

It's been such a long while since I made this. So long that I lost the template. Managed to find one unsold reversible tote and used that to draw a new template. Incidentally, it fits on a single drawing block back. LOL!

Lost template but found...Nesshome fabric! The browns that you see; one bag will be coffee (cup and beans) and another will be tea (leaves and teapot). I like Nesshome fabrics, printwise and texture.

Anyway, these are still works in progress. I'll need to go buy coordinating threads for top-stitching.

Have a blessed afternoon!

Fund raising: Typhoon Haiyan / Yolanda

Picture from www.theguardian.com

Typhoon Haiyan / Yolanda may have passed Philippines but she has left a trail of destruction behind.

I'm raising funds to send to Red Cross for relief efforts.

If you would like to donate directly, the details are here. Otherwise, I'm selling stuff. 100% of sales will go to Red Cross. I'll absorb local shipping if it's low but we can discuss this, I hope.

Since this is a fund raising, items will be sold at a premium above normal prices.

Preview of what I'll be selling:

A5 hardcover handbound book with drawstring bag - S$40

A5 hardcover handbound book - S$30

A6 hardcover handbound book - S$15

reversible tissue case - S$5

faux suede bracelet - S$3

elastic hair ties - S$5 (4 in a box)

mini notebooks - S$5 (4, let me know your choice of colours)

Detailed pictures will be available soon.

The issue here is, Red Cross doesn't have online acceptance via ibanking. I've yet to check the ATM though. The only way I know is to bring the cash to Penang Lane. If you think I'm going to pocket the money rather than send it to Red Cross, please donate to them directly. Details here, again.

Else, I will send the money as soon as I can, latest by this Friday morning.

I forgot, this sale will be on Facebook. You can always message me if you have my contact. Not via email, please, because I need to get this done quickly.

Thanks and have a blessed evening.
