METAL ZIPPERS AND BIAS TAPE

I bought these a few months ago, metal zippers and bias tape. I have never used the zippers yet, saying wooo.. But I tried the biasa tape yesterday for my current project. I loveeee it, easy to handle and  sweet too.

 

About the metal zipper, please email me if interested. I chose mine with all sewing machines zipper head. They have different kind of heads too..

NO.5 BLOUSE (10 BLOUSES/JUBAH CHALLENGE)

No.5 checked!

I have actually finished this a few weeks ago but no time to upload it here.

This is also a Korean cotton, easy to handle and definitely no doubt in the quality. This is a blue colour, it is actually a bit darker than the picture here, due to the camere lighting I guess. It has lots of tiny spots in white on it. I love the neckline shape. Easy to use, no need button or zipper. It fits my big head.hehe.

 

DAMIA FLORAL TOP

I made this Top for her school winter concert. You can read more story here about this. I love this fabric,from Gwanjang market. Don't know what type of fabric but I loveeeeee it. But hey, I made the skirt too..hehe..

NO.4 BLOUSE (10 BLOUSES/JUBAH CHALLENGE)

No.4, checked!! My summer blouse is here!

 

Right on time for the spring. I am so excited

for this black and white small dots. It is a Korean cotton. I am so in love with the quality and its perfect print! Why I chose this color? Black & White? (again and again?). I think I have mentioned somewhere before that here most of them love to wear the descent colours; black, white, brown, grey, cream and some pastel colours. Anyway, I can always wear this in Malaysia later. The material is not so thick and very suitable for a mom of three like me, hahaha...simple as always. 

 

NO.3 BAJU KURUNG MODEN (10 BLOUSES/JUBAH CHALLENGE)

No.3, checked! It is baju kurung moden anyway.

 I actually made 'magic' on this. haha. honestly, I cut this fabric long time ago in Malaysia but never finished sewing. But I did not know what was wrong with my sewing needle or the fabric, I would obviously say because the thread from the fabric kept coming out along the way as I did the sewing. Just like the fabric before. My assumption would be maybe the fabric itself. Cheap fabric I guess when I bought that time. But I could not help it because I love the print. Ok, next time lesson learnt.

 

p/s: there was a little model at the back.hehe.

 

NO.2 - JUBAH (10 BLOUSES/JUBAH CHALLENGE)

No.2, Jubah, checked!!

Still using fabric from Malaysia (see how passionate I am in fabric, never out of stock and the most important is, don't waste your fabric, use it to the fullest..haha).

Anyway, this Jubah is not really a princess cut, just A cut I guess. I like the design but sorry to say not the fabric. I think I got it from Nilai 3. The thread of the fabric came out when I was sewing, didn't know why but I still finished my sewing coz I was thinking of replacing this Jubah instead of my old 'baju kelawar'.

 

NO.1 - BLOUSE (10 BLOUSES/JUBAH CHALLENGE)

This is the first blouse. Just a simple one. I had this fabric from Malaysia, I think I bought in Kamdar Kajang.hehe. I used it anyway since I like the pattern, black and white and simple. I will be wearing this in this spring and summer.

 

One DONE,

Checked!!!

 

DRAWSTRING POUCH AND WATERPROOF LUNCH BAG

I made these when Damia started her school. A small drawstring pouch for her spare clothes at school and a waterproof lunch bag. Since I already have one for Daniel from Tuppaware, I brought from Malaysia so I decided to make one similar design for Damia. It suits the lunch boxes that we already have.

 

As for this pouch, I just used Bangkok cotton that I bought in Malaysia and for the lunch box I used waterproof material that I bought in Dongdaemun Market.

 

Will definitely explore more on the waterproof material.

NEW FABRIC SHELF

I have challenged myself to do more sewing and to produce "handmade wardrobe" as to fill up my wardrobe with only my handmade. Yup I know sounds impossible but I will try to at least not to buy anymore new blouse/dress/jubah.

As to show some support to myself, I have bought this simple sky blue bookshelf to arrange some fabrics. And I am willing to sell some of this fabrics too and this would be in the next entry. Will upload by this week.

Can't wait to start more and more sewing.

Have a great evening!

10 BLOUSES/JUBAH/TOPS CHALLENGE

Pergh, tajuk macam apa je ye.hehe I was just challenging myself of sewing either blouse, jubah or tops.10 at least for a start before the summer is here. I need all those as last summer I was wearing the same a few blouses again and again. As I mentioned earlier, it is hard to find my size here whereby I don't like to wear fitted shirt or short blouse. Maybe there are, but the price is soooooo expensive. Well, since I could easily get good fabrics here so why not I just sew some? hopefully my dream will come true ;P. Oh yeah, if any of you ever challenge yourself like this, care to share some tips to realize it? Thank you!

A BLOUSE FOR DAMIA

This was a Tshirt blouse that I made for Damia. This fabric was so comfy and suitable for kids. I want to make something for Hanaa too!

POLKA DOT PEASANT TOP

I don't know what we should call this item, Tshirt or Top or whatever. But I really love the polka dots here. I have some more balance of the fabric, will definitely sew something for her. She grew up very fast, I don't think that she could wear this again this spring and summer. huhu.. Well, more tasks for mom to do!

HANAA'S FIRST HANDMADE SUMMER TOP

I was about to go for a meeting at Daniel school at that time. It was summer already. I just figured out that Hanaa has only long sleeve shirts in her wardrobe. So I decided to sew this simple top and it took me about one and half hour to finish from choosing fabrics until it was done. So long huh? So managed to finish right before we walk out for the meeting. I took this picture before we arrived at the school. It was windy sunny day, beautiful weather, a perfect summer!

SPRING BLOUSE

Another Spring blouse for me. I have no choice right now but to choose this kind of color theme as here they are not so colourful as we are in Malaysia.

SIMPLE BLOUSE FOR ME

Another simple blouse for me. But this time I used a stretch cotton fabric. A bit sturdy but I like the pattern the most. I put some Korean cream lace near the hand. It was not part of the plan actually but due to my mistake when cutting the fabric, I had to lengthen that part by joining the fabric. To make it less obvious to be seen, I decided to put the lace. Ah, finally I could use the lace anyway. haha.

SKIRT FOR HANAA

 

 

I used my old fabric stock, so called patchwork pattern for Hanaa's skirt. She was so happy and started dancing like a princes the moment I put on her. See how happy she was  at that time. Ah, lucky I have this little unpaid model to support my craft hobby.

 



SPRING BLOUSE - BALI COTTON, GIFT FROM A BRITISH FRIEND

Daniel used to have a British classmate but now that girl moved to England already. Me and her mom were always together sending and picking them up from the school bus everyday. When they were about to move, she gave me this fabric, a cotton from Bali. She was saying that she did not have any idea what to do with this cotton. She has this along time ago when they were on vacation in Bali and they stayed in Germany a few years before moving to Korea. So as she knew I sew things, she decided to give to me. She gave me on Thursday and I did the sewing right away, so excited to show her what I could do with this fabric. When I wanted to pick up my son on Friday afternoon, the driver said the lady already picked up her daughter at the lunch hour as they were heading to a friend's house near the airport for the next day flight. Too bad, I did not have her mobile number. But I really hope that I could see her and the family again in future.

 

 

Anyway, about this blouse, as usual I made it a bit loose and have ribbon at the back or I sometimes tied it at the front. I need more this type of blouse for the next Spring. will do something for a push factor to reach my goal of having my wardrobe full of my own handmade blouses (berangan, krik krik..)

 

 

TELEKUNG SOLAT

 

I made this Telekung last year. She requested one like kakak. I love this Gwanjang Cotton. So soft and comfortable for a telekung especially for Hanaa. This was actually my first time ever making a telekung. It fit her perfectly, see how happy she was. This pair of telekung comes together with a matching sejadah, also specially sewn for her. I want to make another one for her Kakak as she grew taller and needs new telekung. In shaa Allah..

 



 

 



DAMIA's SPRING DRESS



We were supposed to attend a housewarming party of a friend of mine here. She is also a Malaysian. It was end Spring time and we needed a suitable blouse or dress. At that time, I just did my spring cleaning a few days before and I found out that all the clothes that we brought from Malaysia were too small for Damia. We only have new clothes for Winter Season. Lucky she has a lil sister, Hanaa so Hanaa can still wear that clothes. Problem solved for that.

So, I decided to sew a dress for Damia, my first time sewing this kind of design. I choose the fabric that I bought in Malaysia which was originally from Bangkok. The dress was sewn a day before the housewarming party and I managed to finish it1 hour before the event.Alhamdulillah. Damia was so happy wearing this. Hopefully I will sew more for her and Hanaa as Spring is coming in less than two months.



LIGHTWEIGHT JEANS BLOUSE

This was my first time ever sewing jeans material if I could recall. This was a medium weight jeans material for my Spring blouse. Last Spring was not so cold but I still need a cotton type material for my blouse. So this medium weight jeans was perfect. I got it from Gwanjang Market. Lepaslah, nak pakai sendiri kan..hehe..

NEW CUSHION CASES USING KOREAN OXFORD COTTON

Actually saya belum khatam lagi pasal kain2 di Korea ni. Tp ni saya ada jumpa satu jenis kain oxford katanya which is also banyak different types. Memandangkan this pattern is perfect for my house color tone, saya jahit new cushion cases. As for this moment, saya hanya jahit keperluan rumah kat sini dan keperluan saya dan anak-anak. Saya akan share some of my craft materials here, mane tahu kot ada Malaysian crafters who might interested. Boleh saya bawa balik July ni. Oh ye, saya sempat kirim kat kawan kat Malaysia untuk bawa label yg saya tempah kt sana. Label ini adalah pendorong untuk saya menjahit dan berkraf kembali. Saya hanya gunakan label ini untuk craft yang saya jahit di sini.hehe, saja pembakar semangat.hehe.

LAPTOP SLEEVE

I bought this IKEA cotton long time ago in IKEA Damansara but only use it here for my laptop sleeve. No doubt this medium weight cotton is easy to handle and I love the outstanding print on it. It always looks new eventhough I have this sleeve about a year already (laa, so lomg meh to upload?, busy maa). Anyway, I have some fabric left of this print, maybe I will sew a bag? No idea yet.

PEPLUM LONG BLOUSE

This was my peplum long blouse that I made last year's summer. I always wanna call this my summer collection. The material is chilly and comfortable for the hot weather. Actually I tried to find my size here but rarely found it offline. I have to get help from Malaysian Students here to help me to buy online for Plus Size clothes and for my size I have to buy XXXL. If I were to buy offline, if they have a big size, but the length did not up to my standard. I always love to wear modest down to the knee. Pendek kata, kena jahit lah.hehe. I have a friend here, she went to Gwanjang market to sew her baju kurung moden and the charge was KRW150,000 = RM480 plusminus la.her own material, she just showed to the Ahjumma (makcik) the design and the Ahjumma measured her measurement. Saya nak pengsan dengar. Boleh beli a pair of designer kurung moden kat Malaysia kot.hehe. So, knowing that, I have to start back my sewing activity.hehe. 

LINEN PILLOW CASES

Actually only the most front one is the Korean linen that I bought here. The other two are the linen blend that I bought from Malaysia which I believe from other country too. I am so in love with Korean fabrics and definitely with share with you more.

SALAM KEMBALI DARI TINICRAFT DI SEOUL

Assalamualaykum. It took me for a while to 'wake up' from a long hiatus. I was super duper busy since my 2nd kid joined the school. But i do miss sewing so much. Well, i did some sewing but if i dont  share it here, i dont have any proper record what i have sewn. So i decided to write again here and share my little sewing. In shaa Allah i will also share my new materials here in Seoul and my craft supply hunting episode. Thank you.

WRISLET PIN CUSHION

I could have made this by myself but I just could not resist when I saw this cute wrislet pin cushion in Gwanjang market. This is my first one it is absolutely my sweet memory coz I have it original from Korea. I know it is just a simple handmade item but feeling like Korean seamstress is so different. (berangan fefeeling korean gitu..haha)

PILLOWCASES USING KOREAN COTTON

I love this material. It is cotton suitable for everything. Not to thin and not too thick but it is so soft and comfortable, very comfy to be hug. The color is quite bright and just perfect for our family hall. Looking forward to have more design of this cotton soon.

PILLOW CASES USING KOREAN LINEN

I am so in love with Korean Linen. This was one of my very first fabrics bought in Seoul. I have few more and yet to be sewn and I would love to explore more about dongdaemun fabric market! So far, I can only do sewing project for my own use. Still cannot open for any orders. But if anything please contact my email tinicraft@gmail.com.
