I did sew aprons as far I could remember. These were in 2014. Haha. For the sake of safe keeping, I want to store it here too.

I used heavy cotton that I bought in Malaysia. 

SUMMER TOPS, BATIK THEME

I made these two summer tops in two hours time. It is too easy but depends on the fabric used. I really love this korean viscose mix fabric. So easy to handle. I got this fabric for free from my all time favourite ajushi in Gwanjang Market. He asked me to pick this pattern when I was so busy looking at my linen fabric at his shop.

I said I did not want due to big leaves print. He then cut one yard and said he wanted to give to Hanaa. He also gave me another two types of fabric too from rug type and silk. He gave me too much of free fabric already.

When I came back home and did the sewing, I felt like I really want to have this pattern too maybe for my kimono dress! Or baju kelawar.haha.

Definitely will go and hunt for more.

KOREAN COTTON BLOUSE

I made this long time ago but this was just the perfect time for her to wear it since it was made slightly bigger of her age earlier.

I just knew it that she would be very excited because a lot of roses at the blouse and now in Korea, roses are everywhere blooming beautifully.

Korean cotton is perfect for this hot weather. I am looking forward to sew something with linen soon.

WENDY DRESS - COSTUME FOR CHILDREN'S DAY

When the teacher sent a note saying that the children could pick their costume anything in the Peter Pan series, I was shocked. I really mean it. It was a few days before the children's day. How could I forgot about Damia. 

We actually prepared for her a mickey mouse shirt and skirt and it was same like Hanaa. Well, always need to buy two since we have two girls. We thought that they could be anyone.

As for Daniel I knew it earlier from his teacher that he needed to wear the character that he would be in the school play for their summer concert next month.

So, Damia chose to be Wendy. I already knew that it was going to be very hard to find that kind of dress last minute, so I headed right away to Dongdaemun Market for the fabric.

I wanted to buy just cotton for my easing sewing process but my husband said I need to get something flowy so that the dress will look the same as the real Wendy. So I decided to go for Satin fabric.

It was a very tricky one since I never bought any satin in that giant wholesale fabric heaven. 4 to 5 buildings connected to each other with 6 to 7floors. I was praying so hard that Hanaa could be extra patient with me. Lucky I brought her stroller as usual so that she could sleep whenever she wants.

After nearly one hour, we found what we want and went home for the sewing mission!

Alhamdulillah in two days I could finish these two Wendy dresses. Damia got an award at school for her costume.

CAPTAIN HOOK COSTUME

Captain hook!!

Requested by Daniel for his school play and children day costume. My first time ever sewing a costume. Alhamdulillah.

At first, I never thought of sewing anything like this. I did some search to buy it both online and offline but it was not what I was looking f or. Found one online, but too expensive and not even the same.

Thinking of Daniel was chosen to be one of the main characters in his school play, me and my husband wanted to find him the best costume with complete set of everything. We found almost the same hat and sword, even the hook!  But, not the jacket.

Without any hesitation, I confidently told my husband that I could sew that. He was so shock and a bit confuse because I have never ever sewn any costume before.

I made this in two days time and Daniel was so happy and everyone seemed to be amazed (in my family at least haha) that I could really do it.

Sometimes, we need the "push factor" to move without any hesitation and never look back.

POLKA DOT BLOUSES

Two blouses for the girls for summer vacation in Malaysia last year. I really love this lightweight cotton bought from Gwanjang Market. Easy to handle and very comfy for the girls.

Made these both Baju Kurung Peplum for last Hari Raya. Mixed and matched here and there due to limited colour of fabric theme.

Will sew more of this soon, in shaa Allah.

FLORAL PEASANT TOP

Also the same version of Damia's peasant top before. Made this for Hanaa about the same time for our vacation in Malaysia. I used my old collection of Vietnam cotton.

SHORT SLEEVES PEASANT TOP

I made it for Damia last summer. Somehow I forgot to put it up here. I thought I did some sewing for the kids but I forgot to "store" it here.

Anyway, I used Japanese cotton that I bought in Malaysia before. Very suitable for kids. Damia loves the big ribbon on the chest.

The picture was taken when we went back to Malaysia for vacation. She got her first hair cut at the hair saloon. She insisted not to have it since she loves her long hair but finally surrendered due to hot weather. Haha.

LONG SLEEVE PEASANT TOP

Hanaa long sleeve top, made from knit fabric and very comfortable for her. She loves polka dots so much as much as I do. Will sew more of polka dots.

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..

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!

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.

 



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..
