A notebook cover and more tops and dresses

I’ve promised a friend to make her a notebook cover (netbook to be exact) when I saw her own cover was rather ‘tired’ looking with coffee stains. As usual, it went down the list of things to make and yesterday I had a reason to get it done. We’re break fasting together at Restoran Mukmin (a branch of Haji Shahrin Low’s) in Shah Alam; a good time to pass her the cover. So I cranked up the machine and got this made in a couple of hours. I hope you like it Atty. 

I also made another Sweet Knot Dress and Capri set for Soraya in Robert Kaufman fabric. Simply love the combo.

Sophea and Soraya’s mummy requested a handphone cozy from Soraya’s scraps and here it is. I hope she likes it.

I have another break fast sessions with friends on Merdeka Day and thought of giving them my CD Toters. I’ve made one, four more to go. Just snapped the picture with the mess on my sewing table. 

Just a mention. I’m still doing the CD Toters on made to order basis. I’ve been busy with so many other sewing projects that I haven’t got the time to make stocks and put them up on the blog but if anybody is interested in the CD Toters, email me and we can discuss the details.

Projects in Ramadhan

I’ve been busy making CD Toters for a good customer. This time it’s with a twist. She sent me her own material to work with. On top of that, I got a bit adventurous and added trimmings to the toters. Got bored with the square patchwork so I made free motion or crazy quilting in some of the toters. There’s supposed to be 10 toters but I took only 9 pictures. Already packed them for delivery so can’t take the one I’ve left out. You’ve seen one toter, you’ve seen them all I supposed. Nevertheless, here they are for my archive:

I took a week to finish up on the toters. Once I’m done with them, I started on Hannah’s tops, pants and capris. I am so honoured and touched when Hannah’s mommy said that this year she’s not shopping at Sogo for Hannah’s clothes. She sent me some pictures for inspiration and here’s my interpretation:

Sweet Knot Top and Capri pants.

Thank you Hannah’s mommy for your trust in my sewing skills. I hope Hannah gets a lot of wear from them.
