Tote bag

Hey guys. This is the very first tote bag I made. Pretty excited about it. Got a lot of positive feedback from my friends about it.

All the materials were taken from old clothes I had with me.

I also add a pocket inside so it’s more convenient.

Made these purses too, using the same materials. You can see all the details about it here.

Hope you guys enjoyed it too.

Personalized Pencil Case

Hey guys.

Here’s a purse I made recently. :)

Was just bored so wanted to try something. Went through the stuff I had and got an idea, so thought “why not?”.

These are the raw material used.

And...

This is the final outcome.

Had some extra material so thought of making another purse just like the above but much more personalized.

Did it for my little sister. :)

I added lots of pockets inside, so she can put a lot of cards and notes. She’s still studying so I figured she’ll want it to put her short notes and admission cards etc..

Hope you like it. Please leave your comments. :)

Quilled Flower Card

Hi guys!

Today I'm gonna tell you about my new passion, quilling!! :D

Here’s a picture of the first quilled card that I made. Made it just for the fun of it. 

So I have something to share with you guys about quilling. You can find loads of quilling supplies in the market, such as quilling tools and papers.

But the good news is, you don’t have to buy any of these to quill! You can just get some coloured papers and cut them into strips of about 4mm of width (it's the perfect size in my point of view) and as for the quilling tool, get a toothpick and cut a small slit in it. Below you can see my quilling tools made from two toothpicks or kebab sticks rather. But don't make em from a small toothpicks because the smaller it gets the harder you will find it to quill.

And you can check out Yulia Brodskaya's creations here for inspiration.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask! :)

Valentine card

Hey guys,

Today I’m gonna tell you about the first order I got. T’was from a friend of mine for a V’day card.
The requirements were for it to be a white card with some bright blue design and it had to be simple with nothing written on it. So this is the card that I came up with.

If you look closely you can see a rose embossed in the heart. :) (Click on the picture to enlarge) 

My mom says it’s too simple. But I simply love this card! In my opinion it's elegant! So I guess there are two kinds of people. The ones who like simple cards and the ones who like complicated cards with lots of designs. Hehe. 

Wonder what my friend likes. :)

Jean bag

Today I decided to share a jean bag that I made.

I made this bag from a denim which was too small 4 me. This is the first sewing project I undertook. :) Had to go through a LOT of disasters, with 3 broken needles and the seam ripper becoming my new BFF. A great project to practice patience ;) So anyhow, love the way the bag turned out in the end!

Here are some tips if you are planning to make a jean bag.

• Don’t be lazy to hand sew when necessary. Otherwise you’ll end up with a LOT of broken needles. And also, be sure to use a strong needle if you are too lazy to hand sew.
• Choose a denim with a nice material. The material makes a big difference.
• And there are lots of tutorials on youtube on making jean bags.Go through them before you start out.

                                                                      The front look

                                                                       The back look
  This is not the exact colour of the bag though. Its a bit lighter than this.

  You can also use some of your old belts to match your outfit. 

I also made a pencil case from the same denim. It didn’t turn out that good. (I’m not a professional in sewing.. Not yet anyway  ;)  ) Learnt a good lesson though. Always sew along the guide lines. Don’t  sew without any guide line to make sure you’re sewing straight, or the stitches will end up crooked. hehe..

Have fun making bags!!! :D
