Modpodging with The Boys and Her First Hat

So..what did we do in June? Hmmm...

Bought these Modpodges since before I gave birth to Sofya. Please goggle 'modpodge' if you want to know what it is. Not until the mid semester school break in June did I find time to enjoy these with the kids. The one in blue is to be used on fabric while the yellow one is for all surfaces with matte finishing.

Each of the boys modpodged empty cadbury chocolates plastic bottles while I modpodged empty cookie tin. We had an enjoyable afternoon that day doing this. We look forward to another session of modpodging..possibly soon after but none took place so far. Maybe during the long school holidays at the end of year boys? I promise!

In the pic below, 1st bottle on the left is Hakimi's, middle one is Akif's while Hafiy's is the one on the right.

For my cik kak (that's her nick name ;) who turned 3 months in June, made her a reversible sunhat. Named the sunhat Aara Sunhat - after her.  It was a bit big for her then but she'll grow into it..(she's 6 months now but there's still room for growth). This is in size 0-6 M.

At 3 months, cik kak weighs 5.2kg. Notice how round and chubby she has become? Mami's milk did all that :D. She loves attention, hates lying down and always demands mommy to be her Bumbo ;).

Celebrate the boy : Pants and sunhat for Kimi

Made these for Kimi about a month back. I forgot that I have not write a post on them yet. So this post come in time for Celebrate The Boy month :).

Kimi grows taller everyday.  But his waistline does not expand as fast. He gets his father's genes when it comes to weight gain I guess hehehe. Some of his casual-at-home pants are still wearable but the cuffs are already up to his ankle LOL! Senteng we call it. So I made him two 3/4 pants which I find practical yet functional. Since they are for his everyday wear, it is practical to make them in 3/4 length. Easy for him to move around without feeling uncomfortable. Functional means he can wear them for solah (prayer) without having to change to a longer pants as it already covers his aurah (properly dressed for prayers). And if we suddenly decide to go out, these pants are decent for for outings too.

I followed Novita's tutorial for the slant pockets. I love how the stripes fabric added detail to the pants.

And this sunhat...was made from what's left of the fabric used to make those pants. Added the applique taken from the t-shirt here. Kimi refused to have his full face captured for this photo. Hmmm..I wonder why  ;)

Hafiy's Sunhat

After 5 looong months as UFO (UnFinished prOject) , I finally got it done.*Happy* :D. Thanks to Tinihani for hosting Jom Jahit on Sunhat for this month. Though  it's a little overdue but better late than never, right? FYI, submission was due on Dec 14th hehehe..

The jeans fabric was from my old pair of jeans and the applique..was from an old t-shirt Hakimi & Hafiy used to wear. Tak sempat nak turun kat Akif sebab dah terlalu comot ;P. 

I used the pattern / tutorial by Sew Much Ado. Though it says that this sunhat can fit a 2T-3T toddler head (with head circumference of 19" or so), my 7Y old son can also wear this hat. So, Abang Kimi has also requested a sunhat him :).

Here's a picture of Hafiy and Akif in their sunhats. Akif is wearing a store bought sunhat-which used to be Hafiy's :).

What excites me the most about this hat was....I get to use my new label...Muahahahaha...

SoTinihani, here's my submission for this month Jom Jahit.
