project 7
bb girl dress
finally after one sleepless night and a few extra hours, i have completely sewn the dress! i used the itti bitti dress pattern for the body, and create the skirt myself (inspired by aida)i didnt wanted for the skirt to be so ‘kembang’ so i did 2 ruffles instead of 3, and the 2nd layer of the skirt part is sewn together with the 3rd layer along the top edge.
im topstitch maniac , so i topstitched all along the body edge and also the hems to create a crispier finishing.
im all impressed by myself with the result. n hubs too “sugoi ne mommy, sugoii ne” all over. cant wait to make more dresses n garments in the future!
btw this dress is a bday present for a lovely girl puteri maisarah. kak anisa , i hope u like it!
next project – a tunic for me. and a giveaway item maybe? hehe
project 6
room pants
this is the easiest project ive ever made, i took barely 10 minutes to finish it. you can find the tutorial all over the internet. but unfortunately i cut the waist part a bit short , they became a low-rise pants LOL. maybe ill alter them later.
project 5
ikea highchair cover
i found that the highchair is soo boring so i decided to make a slip cover for it using some deco fabrics (also bought from ikea) and the leftover pink fleece. hubs had to spend the afternoon in the office marking papers, and since ayra was sleeping soundly, i had the time all for myself so i cut the fabrics n started to sew immediately. the cover is really easy to make, just cut the fabric according to the shape of the chair, sew around the edge both cotton n fleece right side together, leaving an opening and flip it over. itll look better if i topstitch around the edge but i was too lazy n i wonder if the old singer can handle the thickness, so i only topstitched the opening part. hoho
the unisex cover -bak kata kak ira (well planned aa? ekeke)
she now loves watching tv in the new highchair (n cover! 
)
owh and i also sewn in two small handmade straps to the seat part to tie it to the chair.

project 3
baby dress
i bought this cheap cotton fabric from kamdar wayy back when i was pregnant with you
i wanted to make the dress with a much much prettier patterned cotton, but too afraid if i waste the expensive fabric so i settled with this.but it turned out i did fine. !:D
i cut the the fabric according to a pattern i got from a japanese sewing book couple months back with u next to me trying to eat the pieces. owh btw i hate tracing. it kills me.
just finished the dress tonight, will send the dress to make buttonhol on the backside tomorrow.
ill add some embellishments (applique or embroidery or ur name maybe) when i have the time.
btw pls ignore the unmatching white thread, i only have one bobbin, n was too lazy to change to red one. (hoho mmg tak leh buat jual ini macam)
donewith handsewn applique and buttons!

project 2
soft sole baby shoes
sorry for the bad color combination . but theyre purposely made to match her baju raya so that explain the same top fabric.
i should have lined the single fleece sole with other fabric to make it sturdier tho. takpe , next attemptla pulak.
