Able to access to blogger again !!!!







Hurray !!! I am able to access to blogspot again, yeah !!!! Today, my husband sent me a link that provides a proxy to bypass screening server in China. I am able to access to blogspot again. I am so happy ^^.


Here are some of my works during the "unable to access blogspot" period




12/10/2010 , Sunbonnet Sue clutch pouch.  This pattern kit (from Minami Kumiko) is a gift from my friend, Sophea (how wonderful of her ^^).  Though I was struggling with the wedding ring project that time, I tried to free up myself to make this pouch from time to time.  Sophea was so proud of me when I showed this pouch to her (I managed to make it during my tight project).  How I miss my dear friend these few days cause she is now traveling to Eastern Europe.  I love this pouch so much, the size is big enough to put my purse, handphone and some cosmetics.  Very Japanese country patchwork indeed :>









Bag in Bag 30/11/2010

Introducing bag-in-bag concept.  This is currently very popular bag in Japan (especially if you are handmade maniac).  It is actually a bag by itself AND an organiser for bigger bag.  Imagine carrying a big bag, isn't it difficult for you to locate even your handphone ?  This beautiful organiser actually solve your problem.  The bag has 2 sides, different Japanese Kimono prints in each side.  Take a look ^^

Take a look at how your things are organised ...





I will slowly begin to sell this bag in Etsy under the name Cotton Friends.  Right now, I am designing few more items for sell soon.  Please feel free to drop by and enjoy my works :)


9/12/2010, Wedding Ring, with Love.....


I sewed these pieces when I visited Leeds, UK , in November.  As a result, this project is really memorable and meaningful to me ( I actually visited UK, WOW).


Look at this colorful projects, how many pieces of fabric did i use ?  It took me few days to cut out and arrange them (combined with worrying feeling about the result).  Right now, I am just so happy to see the real result.  (**Big big laugh**)

A simple pouch

  I wanted to make this pouch since long time ago but couldn't find a slot to make it.  I am now back to my home town for holidays, so now is really a good time to make it.  This pouch / bag pattern is based to the following book



Here is the bag I am very interested in. 
Have a look at this pattern.  I added a zipper to the pocket area, also enlarge the pocket to about 1 1/2 cm.

29/5/2010  Very close to completion now.  The last thing to do is to embroider the X stitches to the Hexagon patchwork.


2/6/10  Here we are.


Instead of using plain fabrics for the inner fabric, I prefer to use colorful pattern fabrics for the interial.  Take a look
