Must try tutorials

 

I love all the creative inspiring blogs out there. And I love even more all the tutorials so generously shared by the lovely ladies. So, from now on, whenever I come across something that makes me say “I want to make that!” , I shall post it here so that I can come back to it and try it out.. one fine day *o*

 

(You see, my bookmarks are overloaded and I can’t remember what the web address is about! ) So, to all blog owners, I hope I have your generous permission to use your photos and to link to your blogs.

 

Thanks (*o*) ♥♥♥

 

 

 

I’ve been wanting to make such a pouch. The tutorial is very clear and the photos are great.

I love teacup stitchery! Since I tried my hands on some teacup and teapot stitchery I think I must give this a try!

Come to think of it, I have posted one tutorial I found, came back and made it! Yup, it’s the ‘Squarebag’ by Lappeklipp.

 

These are made by Lappeklipp.

 

 

 

And I made this!!

 

 

Lappeklipp made this…….

 

 

 

 

 

…and I made this *o*

 

 

 

Recently, Lappeklipp made another Squarebag using eighty..80.. squares!!!

And look at those crotchet details..awesome!

My First Machine Applique

Mum complained that the Charlie I made for my sister is nicer than hers!! Looking back at the pic from my previous post, I must say there’s a plain ‘canvas’ for me to ‘play’ with.

And with my new machine to experiment with, I thought I try my hand with some applique. 

 

I used the blanket stitch from my new machine to applique the leaves.

Then I made two yo-yos and stacked them up.

Next, I top it up with a button and…

ta-da..a flower !!!

 

 

Yup, I still prefer to leave the rest of the ‘canvas’ empty.

Looks ‘clean’ as we should be doing…..

cleaning and greening the earth by using reusable shopping bags!

(*o*)

A Charlie for Mummy

She told me to make one that suits her age ..she being 76 can’t be using a bag that ‘shouts’ CUTE . So, I chose a safe colour … brown and beige. No ‘cute’ embroidery this time.

 

 

What do you think? All from scraps of fabric. The best part is I get to use decorative stitches from my machine.

 

 

 

I love this curvy stitch!

 

Mummy, do you like it?!

Embroidered Quilted Coaster

Was working on some stitchery last month. Finally made use of it. With an abundance of scraps, I made a coaster.

Played around with my new sewing machine too! Tried using as many different stitches as possible.

Didn’t place the strips as planned ..doesn’t look quite right. But that’s how I learn..from mistakes. Anyway, will be giving this away. Any takers?!

♥ ¸.•*¨`*•..¸♥

Mummy is next!

Called mum this morning and she told me to “make as many shopping bags as you can for me ” !!! What?! Is she going on a shopping spree?

 

(#o#)

 

Nope. She is getting ready to green the earth! And she gave me a ‘little lecture’ about saving the earth from plastics!

 

So, she just about helped me plan out my projects for the next month ….making ‘as many shopping bags’ for her! I’ll be seeing her next month for the coming Chinese New Year, yippee!

 

Charlie..here I come!!!

 

 

Get lots of inspiration from Burdastyle.

  

Phew!!! I so want to put up all the Charlie variations here but there are 126 of them! So, go check it out yourself *o*

 

 

 

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ`¸.·´¯`·.¸✿…..Enjoy!

For My Sister

She loved it so much that she e-mailed me and gave me a deadline to make one for her! I’m talking about this bag.



She used it during her frenzy shopping while back at our hometown. It was very gentle on her shoulders, fitting snugly under her arms that she insisted I make the exact one for her, right to the length of the strap! Don’t worry, I still have the pattern. In case you have lost yours, you can get it here.

So, I took out this patchwork  which I stitched in July last year…

…and made a Charlie for my sister!

If you look closer( click on the pic) you’ll notice I topstitched the edges using one of the 50 decorative stitches from my new machine!

 

I made a little change. I added some cord at the ‘neck’ opening of the bag  which is used to the tie up the bag into a little package . Isn’t it cute?!
