Anic-Lohas Sew Along : Patchwork Wallet (Week 1)

Week 1 - 4th - 10th  July (Creating the outer piece)

Making wallet??? Once again?? hahaha

Actually, my past experience with wallet making was not a succes story.

some of it peacefully sitting inside my UFO box.

But as usual.. its not the end of it.. and when Anic mentioned about a wallet making sew along, wow.. its a great time for us to learn and share the wallet making journey together..

Since I am a bit occupied lately, I missed the 1st week deadline, and here it is my outer piece..

I choose linen fabric for this wallet, thick linen for the outer side, and the lining (not in the picture) is actually a light weight linen. Quilted with the decorative stitch..

 Ok thats all, i havent cut the cards compartment yet.. till then..

Anyone would like to join??? belum terlambat, come and visit Anic here for the tutorial and progress..

Cute LilWallet - Jom Jahit

Yeah! its finish finish...

Dapat jugak saya siapkan wallet cute mute ini untuk Izzah in one night.. 2 hours to be specific. Lepas dinner, potong2 kain dan jahit2.. nasib ler sempat siap yerr.. arini dah bergaya sakan si kenit tuh bawa wallet baru kikiki..

Semalam dok cari2 tutorial yang berkenan di hati dan terjumpa kat sini.

Untuk Izzah ni saya alter skit ukurannya, sebab dia nak wallet kecik jer, boleh masuk dalam poket baju sekolah nya, Izzah kata Ummi pening kut masa buat baju sekolah ni... sebab kejap poket belah kiri, kejap poket belah kanan hahhaa

Dan saya guna fabric yang sama dengan sling beg dia arituh.. kiranya sedondon lerr.. Linen gambar handbag tuh beli dari MyBotang... and the denim fabby from Daiso.. one piece boleh dapat my handbag, sling bag Izzah, wallet Izzah, and tak mustahil my wallet plak nnt hahhaa.. sebab ada lagi lebihnya tau. snap button silver tuh plak saya beli masa kat Kuching arituh, bertuah betul.. the size fit to my snap button tools... ingatkan lebih besar...

Layan gambor je lah yerr

Jahitan agak kurang kemas skit, rasanya sebab tebal sangat kut, semput my NV50. Pastu silap skit tang zipper tuh, atas sangat. But still boleh pakai ler. Lain kali boleh try lagi for my wallet plak. Thanks to TiniHani for organising this JomJahit.... kalau tak... entah bilalah saya nak try buat wallet ni, walaupon dah lama Izzah request sebenarnya... Izzah ni segala macam dia request ummi dia buat

Haaa selit cerita lain plak... Quilts and More dah sampai semalam, kembang setaman hatiku ini hehehe

SALE SALE..

What?? Sale???

Is it weird?

No, I hope not so..

This is actually my best solution to my biggest problem... so let me explain first what is my problem, I SIMPLY CAN'T STOP SEWING.. i am just that too addicted to my sewing project, do it once, and I want to do it more and more.. here what I had.. 

Actually I had more than these in one box, and its almost full.
So after thinking of what I need to do with all these.... emm maybe a giveaway, but despite having a popular blog, off course it will cost me a lot on posting fee (need to forgone more fabric then isk isk),  and after thinking and thinking, the best way is to sell it... just sell it off at my blog is the best solution for me as at now...

Here it is MY LILSHOPPE,, its really a small shop here, thats why I  decided to just open a new page, instead of a new blogshop. If you noticed, I had put in some of my works there already.. for the past few days...

Here are additional of it... jom layan ok..

OK.. will update all this in my lilshoppe soon,

Cantikkan passport anda..

Semalam pergi buat passport untuk Izzah... nasiblah orang tak ramai sangat.. tapi sampai ke Imegresen pukul 8.10am pon, orang dah beratur panjang, last2 kami dapat nombor 79... kira oklah, aircond pon ada, selesa menunggu. Last week saya pergi, dapat nombor 126, orang teramat lah ramainya dan aircond takde. Macam bersauna dah kat opis jadinya.

Balik rumah terus saya terfikir nak buat passport sleeve hehehe.. kalau pink mesti Izzah suka. Tambah plak baru dapat fabric pink ni from MaymayShop (just collected from the post office hehee). This is my first attempt.. senang jugak nak buat rupanya... tutorial from Bunnybun here

Then I modified skit... biasaler, kalau first time je ikut tutorial, 2nd time mesti nak modified jer kerjanya.. here is my first Quilt Passport Sleeve, the fabric is from CraftBuddy

And here are another... TWO

Mak aiiii.. berapa banyak plak ler passport yang saya ada kan haha..

Emm kalau ada sesapa yang berkenan dengan passport sleeve ni, two of them (the quilt passport sleeve) are meant for sale.. choices are yours.. please contact me ok..

Practice makes perfect...

Special for my pretty baby.. Moga anak ummi belajar rajin2 yer.. kalau tengok pencil case ni mesti ingat kat umi tau..

Seronok Izzah dapat pencil case baru.. siap ada gambar Peter n Jane lagi hehehe (teringat ngan buku cerita Peter n Jane, very good for a beginner)

Umi memang rajin nak buat pencil case ni... sebab nak practice the new way attaching the zipper hihi. Semangat tengah menyala-nyala camtuh ler kan. Kiranya kembang setaman ler tengok hasil nyer menjadi hahaha... (control urself, jangan riak)

This is another version.. guna fabric from MyBotang.. yg beli ngan buku sekali arituh.. cantik bebenor mushroom niii

And this is another one... wahh memang pulun betul practising the zipper pouch hehehe

All in blue.. and I am over the moon..

Experimenting.. (2)

My journey searching for a perfect (so called) zipper for pouch continued..
And I found this tutorial from Mountain Mom Report .. Its a very detail tutorial on attaching zipper (bukan cara biasa dalam lain2 tutorial yerr), the outcome is also very neat and nice zippered pouch..

I try to put it on practice last night and here it is..

The fabric I bought from Sue of MyBotang loooong time ago, but havent use it... macam biasa lerr sayang nak guna hihihi.

 I need to practice more on this method.. this small purse nicely fit in my hanphone. Sukanyaaa..

Regards;

Experimenting..

Agaknya apa jadi kalau saya a fulltimehousewife yerr... agak-agak dari Font Normal ni.. jadi Font Large or Largest kut hahaha... bangun tidur jer dok fikir nak makan apa, kejap2 ngap itu ngap ini... kejap2 tengok blog resepi, dok terliur nak try itu, nak try ini...  4 hari cuti ni pon dah terbukti.. betapa cepatnya saya akan bertukar ke Font Large

Hari ini saya dok eksperimen macam2, ikut suka hati. Tempahan tudung sekolah dah siap, tengok dulu tuannyer kenan ke idok, baru boleh proceed dengan tudung2 lain. Yup, saya masih lagi terima tempahan tudung bagi yang berminat, tapi saya prefer with fabric instead of me, making a trip to Jakel lagi :(sigh

Eksperimen kali ini lebih kepada nak dapatkan the best method to attch zipper to a pouch/purse (gara2 kenan sangat2 dengan coin purse MyBotang arituh hehehe.. my story here), pastu nak try bag bottom kak Rozi macam kat sini. Inilah hasil eksperimen saya hihihi.. all using cotton linen.. kecuali coin purse tuh, just guna scrap jer.

My first attempt buat coin purse.. guna batting 150gm utk belah luar and interfacing tebal belah dalam...

I think its a total failure. Zipper pon tak nicely attched, plus tebal sangat ler plak.. bagi kat Izzah buat main je lah nampaknya hahaha

Next attempt.. guna batting 240g, lining saya guna heavy cotton tapi tak guna interfacing... emmm oklah, sturdy bag. agak kemas. Zipper still out I guess, tapi seronok dapat buat bag bottom macam ni... Special thanks to K. Rozi for the tutorial. But still kalau teropong betul2 ada ler serba sedikit kekurangannya...

My 3rd attempt.. using heavy interfacing kat luar, lining guna heavy cotton but no interfacing..

Emmm much more better, especially the bag bottom and the zipper. Plus wider space inside. Kalau guna batting tuh ianya nampak penuh skit sebab batting kan agak tebal.

Emm macam2 lah eksperimen orang yang takde keje kan. Nak keluar malas, bukan malas apa.. malas nak keluar duit hahaha... saving for next month...

Accordion Card Wallet

Purse making again...yang chomel chomel sajer

Its an accordion card wallet.. the tutorial that I found at studio-clip (again hahaha)

This is my first attempt sewing this kind of purse.. and the fabric was from Nykolett Curtain (again hihihi. Thanks Kak Ros.. kan dah ckp, project dengan scrap mmg cepat je jalannya...)

Lots to be improved... terutama on attaching bias tape tuh..

And here is another story.. I found this at the nearest DIY shop (the one that I bought my eyelet pliers before) and bought it... well at 30% discount offcourse I cant resist it. And thinking of making Cik Yam for another round using this heat resistance material. Nak tukar baru ironing cover pun possible jugak kan....
