Happy Anniversary, Vivocity!

We couldn't hear the accompanying music because there were less speakers lined up along the Promenade this year but, wow, the finale was really heart thumping! 

Great job and happy anniversary, VivoCity!

Have a blessed day!

Four peas in a pod, well, almost

Still in the reversible tote kind of mood and venturing into pricier cotton linen blends from Japan and Korea. I'm becoming a big fan of Nesshome. Wonder if they have stuff on sale this Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

I'm wondering too, whether to keep the second from the left for myself. This is a very interesting piece of fabric, almost like a painting. I only have a half yard of this and am not able to get anymore. There'll be two reversible totes and both have different prints. How cool is that!

Have a blessed day!

ps: I'll be going to VivoCity for the fireworks tonight. I hope it won't rain. 

WIP: Reversible tote

Ever wondered how the reversible tote is made? Well, at least for the recent ones because I lost the previous template. Somehow, the top of the can gives a nicer edge than the bottom.

What's you favourite flavour? DS used to like English clam chowder. I think he'd like those that have a ring tab at the top, LOL!

Have a blessed day!

Do you believe everything's that in print?

Reversible tote (ice cream on one side, organic butter on the other).

Disclaimer: I've not tried this recipe but if you would...

9 eggs

2 tbsp vanilla

1 cup heavy cream

3 cups sugar

dash of salt

1/2 gal/ to 3 gls Milk

Beat eggs until very frothy. Use your electric mixer. Add sugar, vanilla, salt and 1 qt. of milk. Continue to beat.

Pour into 1 1/2 gal/ old fashioned freezer.

Gently stir in cream and whatever amount of milk is necessary to make the freezer the right fullness for freezing, according to freezer manufacturer. Pack with crushed ice and rock salt and freeze.

Use vanilla according to taste.

Mood: Reversible Totes

I'm in a reversible tote kind of mood. Trying to use up the fabrics I have so I can buy more. Does this make sense? Incidentally, for a amount of fabric to price ratio, this tote has a very low ratio, meaning, I use a lot of fabric and sell at a low price. Compared to something like a pouch, which uses less fabric but has a zip. About the same effort. Maybe I should increase the price of these, hmm, LOL!

Have a blessed day!

Octuplets

This is the first one. Seven more in various stages of completion. Made from fabrics that I just bought from Chinatown yesterday. First Sevenberry fabric (the navy gingham) that I bought and I like it!

Fully lined drawstring pouch that can be used for gift-wrapping this Christmas or for any other use.

Have a blessed day!

ps: all 8 of these have slight differences...

Cambell Soup bag?

Are you thinking how un-glam the name of this bag is? It's the reversible tote from before, with a twist.

I used to use a template to make these. Then I lost it and created another and lost that one. Then I came across this sewing theme fabric but there is only one fat quarter of it. My previous ones were larger than a fat quarter. I decided to then draw the pattern in, adjusting it here and there, and with the help of a Campbell soup can, completed the pattern. 

I'll share the how-to with you some day, or maybe if you leave a comment. It's quite simple actually and I'm wondering why I didn't think of it sooner. You can adjust it to fit any size but there are some rules of thumb that you would want to watch out for,

Have a blessed day!

ps: the moon hasn't set, or at least 10 minutes ago when I spotted it in the clear blue sky. Pretty!
