Dinner and of Meeting New Aquaintances

Had makan-makan at the Famous Hj. Sharin Low, a newly opened Muslim Chinese Restaurant in Bangi last Sunday night. It was a special treat by mr.hubby's friend, Jamili, the towkay of Asyimi Style Network. Another associate, Hafiz was also there. All three brought their families along.

It was my first time meeting Jamili's and Hafiz's the wife,Syima and Izza. Didn't get to chat much as we arrived late. By the time we got there, the others already started eating.

Here are some pictures I managed to snap there. Super love Akif's picture here :).

I managed to whipped up a gift for the two ladies on the morning of the day itself.All done in an hour. Made them each an identical wristlet. I used the swirl cotton fabric I have in my stash. Had it for quite sometime but didn't know what to make out of it until now. Sweet aren't they? :)

To Izza & Syima, it was a pleasure meeting you both. Hope you two like your gift.

Pressies for my besties :)

I was invited by Nadiah, my best friend since childhood for 'kenduri doa selamat' ( a small get together feast to recite prayers -in this case, for safe journey & safe return) last friday as her parents & her mother-in-law will be leaving for Mecca soon to perform their haj . And, since the day before was her birthday, I decided to whipped up something for her - a Money Purse. I didn't make just one though. Another bf, Iman celebrated her birthday during the Eid holidays so a Money Purse is a great belated birthday gift for her too.

Initially I wanted to make & give them as Raya (Eid) presents but I was swamped with orders and datelines in Ramadan so I didn't have the time to even start. When I got the invitation, I know I have to work on them as soon as possible.So here they are..

 I don't fancy wallet (anymore). I prefer one purse like this to put all my cash in ( this can even fit small envelopes for cash management purposes ;). And a card holder to put all my cards in.

I made two more Money Purses after that. The dotted one was for a dear friend, Aofah who has been supporting my handmade ever since I started making them. She ordered with me thrice and will be ordering again soon, insyaAllah ;).  Recently I made a shout out at Facebook looking for a preloved safety gate. She answered. And to my suprised, she gave it for freeeeeee ;D. So i decided to make one for her to say thank you.

The one in damask print is for ME hehehe...This is one of the print that made me fell in love with designer cottons in the first place. I just had to make something for myself in this design. The Money Purse was a perfect choice *happy*

Love Note : To Nadiah, Iman and Aofah, if you want a matching card holder to go with the purse, you can ORDER one ya! Heheheheh

Other's scrap is another's treasure ^^

Here are the things i made using scraps i bought from okinokiyo.

A wristlet (very lembik cause i didn't know i had to use interfacing ;P)

The inside 

Inner pocket & gathered pocket for handphone

Card holder (please ignore my crocked stitches-it's for me anyway)

 The inside

A Patchwork Wristlet ( smaller than the previous one and with interfacing too ^_^

 Pin cushion

And this is only half of the scrap. Imagine how many more things i can make with the other half ;)

*The two non scrap material used were the green polka dot fabric and the white fabric used as lining in the 2nd wristlet (not seen in any of the pictures) and the card holder. The white lining was cut from my wedding bolster case which i have kept for nearly 8 years and have never used before cause i don't use bolster. Finally i get to use it :)


** Love Note: If you want somehing, you would do your most best  to make it yours,right?

My first handmade..for Me..

After all the years, my long serving Sachs Purse/Wallet decides to retire. The leather dah starts to peel. Before it becomes buruk, i decided to dismiss it from all duties ;P

Coincidentally, the fabric i ordered from SewPrettyPink arrives. I decided to make my own wallet to replace the Sachs. After studying a few tutorials, i decided to do the one by *thedarnkat*.

In two nights...wallah...





*Love Note :
Supermami has no super powers. Therefore..all the crooked, herot-berot, senget-benget stitches is forgivable -_*
