To buy or to sketch

Should I sketch my own design and construct my own pattern? Or should I skip the highway and purchase a sewing pattern? huhu I’m so lazy lah nowadays, I wanna make more craft~ :panic:

I want to make something similar, like these… looks easy kan? ps:

As for the fabric… I’m looking for something bright and funky like these…

SUMMER SOIREE by Paula Prass, The Manhattan Collection

Alexander Henry Cotton Fabric

I really like the Black and White Zebra prints by Paula Prass from her Summer Soiree Collection, but it is so hard to find lah. Most of it already sold out ;( So, I’m thinking of using houndstooth pattern from Summer Soiree or Alexander Henry’s.

Actually, my top fave fabric for messenger bag is this one (Alexander Henry – Nicole Prints – Headtrip in Charcoal) I’m a sucka for SKULLS Prints~ lalala~   weeeeeeeeeeee~~ :cheer:

p/s:  just got back from PJ, and i’m down with a fever. Took a leave from work today, too tired. Hopefully I’ll get better tomorrow! :yuck:

owh well, siapa suruh menjahit gopoh-gopoh~

sketch the design in my book

Computer Keyboard Fabric by Timeless Treasures

Now let's start cutting

notions and stuff

Mula-mula kita sketch design atas kertas. Supaya tak tersilap potong nanti. Part ni penting la bagi saya, sebab saya suka guna designer fabric yang saya beli dari US… jadi saya tak suka membazir kain :blush: Lagi satu, bila kita lukis dulu atas kertas (beserta dengan ukuran) nanti kita tak akan tersilap jahit, betul tak?

Hehe itu ironing board saya. Buruk kan? Dah hangus terbakar, haha! Minggu lepas ibu dah beli iron baru, sebab iron lama jatuh, pecah terus. Tapi iron sekarang semua ringan-ringa. Saya suka iron lama, berat macam batu! Bagus, tak payah susah-susah nak tekan bahagian lipatan jahitan tu.

Kebanyakan barang-barang jahit saya simpan dalam bekas, siap dengan label. Saya ni memang jenis disorganized, jadi bila nak menjahit je huru-hara mencari barang… :panic: tak ke buang masa? haha Tengok The Oprah Show, dia suruh ‘declutter’… jadi saya kemas la studio menjahit saya. Lebih kemas dan menarik bukan? Aaah, label tu boleh download dekat iDiY, banyak benda menarik dekat situ!

And I call this clutch, “I Stole Your Keyboard”

dah takde idea nak nama kan clutch ni huhu ps: Ok lah tu ek?

type : envelope clutch

with 2 magnetic snap enclosure

you can carry this keyboard everywhere

functioning as a clutch!! haha

Btw, this one is not for sale… because of the poor quality of stiches (herot-herot plis, you see the piping?! wth :yuck: ) Perhaps I’ll make another one? what do you think?

Details

• Name : I Stole Your Keyboard
• Breed : Unique
• Style : Envelope

What do you think? Decoration on the back? :pfft: Just to spice up a bit, but my mum disagree with the skull thingy~ So, I guess… It will be put up for sale then.

More embellishments will be added later. I’m planning to add sewn on black acrylic stones, on the back. And perhaps a bit glitters on the print. Heeee! :cheer: Owh, this jacket fits size M.

I wont be wearing short skirts anymore, I’m letting go all my short skirts! So, I decided to revive my favorite skirt by adding sewn on beads. There are more skirts, but I’ll start with this first! Yeay~ All will be put for sale at BJX.STORE. Soon!
