My First Wearable Piece ;)

I sew this over new year eve and new year.  Supposed to be a cozy up cardigan but it turned out looking more like a Japanese Yukata.  I guess I should have used a softer cuddlier material instead of this one (I bought this fabric last year cause I thought the print was rather funky.). But it was alright though.  Pretty satisfied with my work. :)  My first wearable masterpiece.  So it has to go to mom. Lols...  I followed the size 'S' measurement on the book yet it turned out to be so huge.  Mom gonna swim in it.  :) Hehehe...

Of Gleaming Kitchen & More Cushion Pillows!

Yesterday, when I got home from the vet, decided to clean out the kitchen.  Did just that and cleared out a bagful of expired stuff (time to go shopping!) and reorganized everything.  It kinda disturbing that things are all over the place.  It's personal.  When things are messy, it somehow able to disturb my mental peace.  :p  Now it felt so good to be in the kitchen knowing exactly where EVERYTHING is. :)

And today, it was the big bag of leftover polyester stuffing which I bought to make that blue cushion pillow for mom, disturbed my mental peace. :p  I just can't stand seeing the big bag sitting there day in day out.  So, I sew three white cushion pillow bags and stuffed them full with all the leftover polyester.  Finally, got rid of all those polyester! :)

I thought I would be happy after that.  But hell no!  The newly stuffed pillows without covers soon became an eyesore to me.  And so I decided to make them covers.  Again, with whatever balance fabric I have in my 'fabric box'. ;)

First, I made this.

Then I made this.

After that, this. :) 

 And finally, sticking on these red diamantes one by one. :)

Taa daa!  The workmanship may not be perfect.  But they are good enough for Chinese New Year!  Gong xi, gong xi, gong xi ni! Hehehehe.... :)

p/s: Am I suffering from something?  Lols....

Handmade Cushion Pillow (For Mom)

Managed to drag myself out of bed at 6:45am this morning after rested for more than a month and apparently, my morning walk/run buddy and I completed 6.7km this morning.  Hmm... not bad at all. :)  And really hope I'll keep up with it regularly.  I am not really an early bird to start with.  More of those that says "you can have all the worms for all I care!"... lols.

And here to share with you, my first masterpiece from my new sewing machine, a cushion pillow for my mom!  Haven't thought of how to print on "My daughter made me this!" though.  Never master the art of embroidery. :p  

Made with whatever pieces of fabric that I found while digging thru my fabric box at home :).  Yes, I have a box filled with bits and pieces of fabrics salvaged from my uncle's factory once upon a time ago, folded neatly at home.  

So, what do you think?
