I ♥ Lace | 我 ♥ 蕾絲

我相信很多人都和我一樣很愛蕾絲。我也收集了一些些。之前都用軟紙皮隨便剪出一個線軸的形狀就卷起來,放進櫃子裡。自從我做了給線兒們的布紙板後,我昨晚又手癢了,把模畫在硬紙皮上然後剪了很多張來收我的蕾絲。果然漂亮了很多,又不用花錢買那些美美的卡來收。我的紙皮的素質也是一級棒的。收拾好後整個人心情馬上開心起來 {蕾絲的法力!}
如果你們也一樣煩惱不懂如何要收藏你們的蕾絲,你們可以下載這個pdf圖。直接打印出來,或者沒打印機的話,就用薄薄的紙放在電腦熒幕上透過光畫出來然,貼在紙皮上剪出來就行了。那個小紙皮盒是之前有人送娃娃給我的包裝盒,我慶幸我沒把它丟掉。你也可以放在藤籃裡啊,或自己做布盒。哦,對了,我的蕾絲都是在maymayshop 買的。她有很多美美的蕾絲~

I think many of you are just like me, cannot resist with beautiful lace. I do collect some. Previously I was just using some thin card simply cut out a cardboard and roll my lace on top.Since I have made fabric cardboard for thread, my itchy hand start draw the shape on hard cardboard and I have cut a lot of them to keep my lace. After arrange all my lace, they look so pretty now, and I do not need to spend money to buy the pretty cards from online store. My cardboard quality is very good one. You will feel so satisfy and happy right after you arrange them nicely. {the magic of lace!} 
If you are also having issue of do not know how to keep your lace, you can download this pdf pattern, just print out and cut. or if yo do not have printer, use a think paper put on your monitor screen and trace the outline, stick on your cardboard and cut them out. The cardboard box was the packaging from my friend, she use it to deliver a doll for me, and I am glad that I didn't throw it away. You can also put into those rattan basket, or make your own fabric basket. Ohh, btw, allf my lace were purchased through maymayshop she sell many pretty lace!

Hope you enjoy it. ^ ^

Adult booties (low heel) | 成人室內鞋 (低鞋跟)

Mr.J with the comfy adult booties

為什麼會縫這雙室內鞋是因為我覺得低跟的比較方便Mr.J ,對啦,是縫給他的,之前縫的第一雙手工沒那麼好,又是漏液趕出來的生日禮物,雖然他都穿著,我每次看都覺得我要縫過,縫過!找到了低鞋跟的做法,昨晚上就開工。效果還可以吧?加了厚鞋墊。但是我偷懶啦,里布沒放鋪棉。。。假厲害的我。。。但是自己穿還可以啦。委屈你啦,Mr.J 。我會再努力的~
很喜歡報紙布

Why do I sew low heel adult booties? I this this design is more convenience for Mr. J. Yup, is for him again, the one I sew before the sewing was not so good, and the shoe base too, some more I rush in middle of the night just for that Birthday gift. Although he wear it daily, but when every time I saw he wear, I tell myself I have to sew a pair of new one for him. Finally I found the the low heel pattern, and I start work on it last night. The result is okay, rite? I added the shoe base padding this time. But I am lazy... as I didn't add the batting for the inner lining... :p Not for customer is still acceptable. So sorry Mr. J, I will improve soon ^ ^V I love this newspaper print fabrics so much~

Adult booties with elastic strap | 成人室內鞋附鬆緊帶

因為擔心收到禮物的人穿了尺寸會不合適,結果我加了鬆緊帶,就希望它能夠給主人帶來溫暖 =) 縫好後又拆,又縫真的是要我的命

I added the elastic strap to the adult booties, due to I am afraid the size will not be so well fitted. I hope it will warm the new owner. 
To remove stitches and sew again is always killing me >.<

Adult booties | 成人室內鞋 22.11.10

這雙成人室內鞋是第一雙即將賣出去的作品。是好友要送給人的。好友告知我說這位鞋子的主人比較喜歡樸素的顏色,喜歡格子布。我翻了整個櫃子的布決定了應該用這個墨綠色的格子布 然後在配上素色棉麻 決定了要設計的款式,就馬上開工。還是有點小瑕疵,你們可能看不到.

我的001成人室內鞋希望你能夠溫暖你的主人~

This is my first pair of adult booties that soon to be sending out. My good friend purchase this pair of adult booties for his friend. I was told that this owner like simple plain colors and checked fabric. So, after I dig all the fabrics in my cabinet, I decided to use this dark green checked fabric and match with plain linen. After decided with the design, I start my sewing immediately. There is still little flaws that you unable to see from here :p

My 001adult booties, I hope that you will warm your new owner~

Baby booties giftset | 嬰孩禮品組合 21.11.10

這是個很特別的order,是一位馬來顧客的訂購,特別在他和他的先生都不知道嬰孩的性別,他們要給自己一個驚喜。所以也要求我的布料要男女都合適。另外也謝謝顧客讓我警惕自己,以後接到馬來客戶的訂單配布的時候要小心,要選擇halal的圖案~

This is a special order from my Malay customer. Special as in the couple do not know the sex gender of their baby, they want to surprise themselves. So, the fabrics requested need to be unisex. I also wish to thank my customer that I will always alert myself whenever I received order from Muslim customer, which I will have to select halal fabric pattern.

Baby gift set to Taiwan | 將飛去台灣的嬰孩禮品組合




這一次我用了仿糜皮配搭橙色的格子布,另一面用了在K布莊買的迷彩加上森林動物效果還不錯,但是仿糜皮手縫合的步驟簡直是要命。。。下次用的時候要好好的計劃,計劃。台灣的小老虎,希望你稀飯~

This giftset I use chamois cloth look-a-like fabric with orange checked the other side I use the Camouflage style fabric mixed with animal in the jungle

I quite like the result of my pattern matching. Just the hand stitch chamois cloth is a killing part.Next time I should be more well plan to avoid the hand stitch part for this type of fabric. 

Little Tiger in Taiwan, I hope you will like this present from your lovely aunties in Malaysia (My sister & her friend)

My sewing corner | 我的縫紉小站

My simple tutorial / 我的簡易教學,希望你們看得明白
我的縫紉小站,真的很小,原本想買多一張桌子,但是我住的是一方式公寓,多一張桌子我就更多東西放,桌子的對面是我的窩{床}所以還是打消了這個念頭。剛剛買了新的小櫃來裝我的阿布布。之前都是放在那個橙褐色的箱子,但是很不方便,每次都要翻啊,找啊的。拿了又要再放回去。
終於去買了這個很划算的小櫃,馬幣53.90。在T霸級市場買的,我扛回家有點吃力。
好久都沒裝櫃了,敢敢醬就報銷了一支螺丝刀。然後我又手癢,看到那個門的手把是灰色的就是篤眼篤鼻,
買了罐白漆,噴掉它。花了很多很多時間整理我的阿布布。
上面那隻熊是好友eefee送我的娃娃,我從來都不收娃娃的唯有這只小灰泰迪我們一看到就愛上,
她買了3只,這只小灰泰迪是我要求的生日禮物。
那個大的籃子也是在T霸級市場買的,馬幣5.45美麗吧。。。呵呵呵~然後裡面裝了我的刺繡框,包扣和拉鍊,還有蘑菇送我的AUDREY ^ ^
小籃子裝的是我的線兒們,不敢買多,沒得收,麻煩。旁邊是我做的杯子蛋糕針插。
上層是格子布,點點布,動物系列
第二層是花布,和普通給我配圖案的棉布
第三層是棉麻,防滑布還有包裝用的布。{旁邊是我縫壞了的小鞋鞋}
下層的白盒是裝比較大片的碎布。然後餅乾盒就裝了小碎布。旁邊是蕾絲姐妹~

我的縫紉機,重量不輕,桌子有點陷下去,所以我都推去一旁。醬也好,我才可以放我的筆電。
左邊是我的書+手作書,有好友麗香幫我買到的桌燈,不然我很快會失明。然後還有Mr.J送給我的小雲。
ikea買的藤籃裝了我的彈性塑膠,一點紙型,書啊。
旁邊是我的最常用的工具箱。然後是筆盒。
牆上放了些我喜歡的照片,明信片。eefee畫的插圖。
桌下的白盒是工具。然後橙褐色的箱子上層是素色棉麻。下層是還沒整理的cotton flannel。下面還有兩個工具箱沒整理好。。。放著先 XP。。。

還沒買到和我心意的vintage椅子,唯有用上個屋主留下來的椅子。用棉麻縫了個套子,那個坐垫是在daiso買的布的來源



My sewing corner, it is very small, I suppose to purchase another table, but due to I am staying at a studio apartment, and I will put more things if I have extra table. And opposite the table is my bed… at the end, I decided not to buy. I just purchase a small cabinet for my fabrics, before that I kept my fabrics in the orange box it is not convenience at all. Every time I will have to dig and find my fabric.

Finally I got this reasonable cabinet at RM53.90 at T Hypermarket. It is quite heavy when I carry it back, It has been ages that I didn’t fix any cabinet. And I did spoil a screwdriver :p and my itchy hand cannot stand with the grey handle, I bought a white spray can and spray on it.
I spent a lot of time to fold all the fabrics.
The teddy bear on top was from my best friend – eefee. It was fall on the first sight when we saw the teddy bear. She bought total of 3, and that was my birthday present that I request from her.

The big basket was from T hypermarket, RM5.45, not bad, rite? My embroidery frame and cover buttons and zippers are inside the basket. And pretty Audrey from Tako.

I kept my threads in the small basket that I bought from daiso. Next to it is the cupcake pin cushion that I made.

1st layer – checked fabric, polka dots and animal series
2nd layer – floral prints and other cotton for matching.
3rd layer – linen, anti slipped fabric & fabric for packaging. My error sewing booties and ex booties are beside it.
Lower layer – the white box is for fabric scrap in large size, and the biscuit can was filled with plenty of little fabric scraps. And my lace collection.

My sewing machine is quite heavy, so I push it to aside and I can put my laptop beside. On the left you can see my books + craft books. The table lamp that Leesiang bought for me, or else I will be blind very soon. And the Arale that Mr.J bought for me.
The ikea basket was filled with elastic rubber, my pattern and notes.
Beside it is the tool box that I frequently use, any pencil box.
I hang some photos, postcards that I like and eefee’s illustration.
The white box under the table is my tools box, and the upper orange box is with my linen fabric, and underneath are cotton flannel that I am yet to tidy. And another two tools box that yet to tidy up XP

I am yet to get a vintage chair that I love, so I still using the stool from ex tenant, I sew a seat cushion case for it.The seat cushion was purchase from daiso. Fabric from here

Full Lined zipper pouch | 化妝包

第一次很專注的做化妝包,真的不容易。其實我收了幾個我比較看得明白的網上教學,然後我敢敢找不到我的拉鍊腳。。。因為我以為那個拉鍊腳和我媽那架古董針車的是一樣的。。。笨到。。。後來蘋果媽媽和JOAN告訴我後,我馬上開工~

有縫錯啦,然後很不甘願的拆線咯。。。縫好後真的很開心,很滿足。很喜歡這塊報紙布。我就是醬容易滿足,其實是不敢奢求,因為我每次都要花上好多時間才能夠了解那些教學。。。哈哈~

蘋果媽媽,EMMA,我終於成功交上我的功課了,好開心啊~雖然是遲了,我會再接再厲,試試做其他的功課。


This is my first full lined zipper pouch. I have collected so many related zipper pouch tutorial, but I was so afraid to try, as I did sew pouch before but those are with no lined. And I couldn't find my zipper foot, due to I didn't know my zipper foot look totally different from my mum's antique sewing machine :p Thanks to applemama and joan that told me where I can find my zipper foot. I start my sewing once I found it.

I did make mistake when I sew, but I removed the wrong stitches and put more attention on it. Well, I am really proud of myself once I completed the pouch. Love this newspaper print fabric.Very satisfy, yar I am so easy to satisfy, but actually I dare not to think further, as I always spent a lot of time to understand a tutorial >_<

applemama & emma, I have finally submitted my homework :p I am so happy, okay okay, I know I am late, but I will continue my learning skill and try on other homework.
