These sheers(the one in stripes) and drapes (the one with lots of squares) is for Nailah's BILIK SEMBAHYANG at her newly acquired office.Cantiknye bilik sembahyang tu nanti.Dah siap in french pleat.

I am feeling BORED to the bones..Sometimes being indoors all the time can make me down and grumpy..So today i grab a good friend Pn.Hajah Khatijah and went fabric shopping for her new appartment at Villa Wangsa Mas.

Roses are plenty.This printed roses add a delicate femenine charm to the otherwise plain polyester sheers.Will adorn all windows in the rooms and kitchen.

Cheap curtain fabric in gold base embelished with red spirals.This timeless design will definitely add modern charm to Pn.Hajah Khatijah's living.(Only RM5 per meter,at Nagoya.).The drapes will be in simple french pleat while the valance will be a pelmet with scalloped edges lined with tassels.

Yellow drapes and black spiral polyester sheers for Nailah.These materials were brought into my shop this morning.

They belong to a young lawyer couple who are in the midst of operating a legal firm in Taman Setiawangsa.These beautiful pastel yellow drapes and matching spiral sheers are going to grace the bay window of their office.The curtains will be in plain french pleat which is most appropriate for an office.

No sewing today...Time to check all my sewing materials and neccesities.

Judging by the amount of work completed, it has been a lucrative week and i am running out of threads,cotton pipings/laces,fibers sponge,....huhuhu..the list is long.Saturday is the best time to go hunting for my sewing aids as i have My Better Half to chaperone me.And where do i get my materials at such affordable price ...mana lagi kalau tak di Lorong Haji Taib....sini semua murah2..tapi parking memang masalah BESAR..Sebab tu lah kene
ade driver untuk menyenangkan hidup...

So i am signing off...Till nex week have a great and restful weekend all....

Friday frills...

 

This stool needs bow ribbon on all 4 corners before i can say its ready...

 

The same goes to this piano stool cover spread eagle on my tiles .The stool is resting at home.I got this stitch by refering closely to the old cover.Hope it snuggles nicely on the actual stool..!

This table cloth will be nex after tango bells.

Swappy Wednesday (swappy to rhyme with happy*wink wink*).Apparently,i have been laden with work piling up to my nose..

.

The best part of doing the things i love is that i enjoy every stages of getting the job done.From measuring up,cutting the materials,getting the pieces together and finally getting them on the machine to be stitched ....everything is done with careful planning and sheer fun !

As of today i have started doing Susanah's orders consisting of curtains for sliding door at main living and  window  at daughter's bedroom,2 sets of back cushion cover,1 table cloth cover,3 stool covers,1 piano cover,2 tissue box covers...and lots of bow ribbons to adorn  on almost everything that is in the making...huhuhuhu.

With that  long list, both shimah and me will be pretty glued to the machine..cest la vie..!!

The pathetic look of muara Tanjung Emas.Time of visit:10-11 th April.2010.

An update of my short stay/visit in Muar over the weekend.We reached the ever busy unruly traffic system in Muar town at about 2.30pm.Without a tourist guide and arm with a blur memory of my short work stay many years ago{about 19 years ago}we got lost and drove in circles searching for The Classic Hotel which was previously booked by my eldest son.We finally arrived at our destined hotel at 3.15pm.We have a wedding invitation to fufill..At the same time Muar has a littlle soft spot in me as i have worked here for a rather short while way back in 1991...at that time I was serving The Muar District Hospital and I was pregnant with my youngest child..Thats him in the photo looking at the sorry looking dirty river top up with the messy rubbish ..But the wind was blowing strongly during our breeze walk there..so minus the hot sun ,it was a nice quiet windy walk for us .
This small town has not change much.Nothing much interesting to see.Looking at the crowds in shopping complexes I think the locals do a lot of shopping  in their free time.I say so because there is no decent garden around to go to..I am very fortunate to be living in kl,,where we have sprawling beautiful gardens and parks.But its true that we have to see one's misfortune to appreciate the beautiful things we have in front of our eyes.I am so fortunate!

More roses for the beds...

Which means more quilting to be done.Both fabrics are from NILAI 3,Negeri Sembilan.The pink roses are cotton polyester,while the purple roses are 100 % polyester.Kedua2 kain ini nak dijadikan cadar saiz queen untuk Puan Hajah Ani.Dua set bunga rose unggu tu akan di quilt.Sementara yang dua lagi bunga rose pink akan di jahit biasa tanpa fiber.Puan Hajah Ani suka jual cadar melalui skim "kutu".Sesiapa yang berminat nak menyertai skim kutu bole hubungi saya melalui e.mail .

The ready single bed skirt to jazz up Datin Rokiea's guest room.

Look at how a simple bed skirt in soft tone can transform any ordinary room to something truly elegant .As i don't have a bed in my showroom,so this skirt is resting on my work table.But will post a better picture once it gets on the real bed..My ordinary sewing machine can only quilt in simple diamond..So voila..!


That wraps up this week..now i am off to MUAR to attend a wedding and  a short breezy holiday over the weekend....*wink.wink*

Next quilt job is a single bedskirt with lace trimmings for Datin Roekia's guest room.

This plain cotton material{the first 2 photos on top} is  in soft brown.By itself it looks dull and plain.so i am going to jazz up  by adding some lace trimmings at the edges of the skirt frills and also on the pillow frills.Will look dainty and a bit old fashion though.But will definitely look adorable when team up with the floral curtain shown above.

Beddings in cool hues does instil a delicate and soothing ambiance to a room.. On top of that  cotton are easy to maintain and can endure the frequent washing either hand or machine wash.

4.5 meter runner in brown for Niza.

  

The longest table runner i have sewn so far

 The ready floral quilt.

Remember Pn.Khariyaton who ordered a queen size quilt (in pink floral) with 8 pieces of pillow covers...?she has requested for another quilt of the same size but in plain green .So Thats what i am working on today.Actually the work started yesterdaty.With Shimah's help the quilt is now 80%completed .The four borders will be bind about 1.5 inch thick with floral fabric.The 8 pieces pillow covers were also in this same design.I am posting  the previously done floral quilt just to show how both of this quilts will compliment each other.

A lot of quilted beddings to attend to this week.The first has just been completed,It is a queen bed skirt that comes with 4 pillow covers,2 small plillows(in floral design)and a fitted sheet attached to the bed skirt.The ready queen bed skirt measures 60 inch x 75 inch.The droplength of the skirt is 19 inch.The fitted underneath can fit an 8 inch high matteres..

Lets give the selvadge craft a rest..So on a more serius tone lets see what material came into my shop this morning.

PR 703202 HILLSIDE  ROSE and PL 600612 ROSELLE.This yellow roses with touches of blue will create a  Tango Bells Style Valance for Puan Suzannah.While the night curtain will be in plain brownish yellow in color.

 

PR704602 GREENMARKET.This vege material is for 4 pieces cusion cover for Datin Roekia.I did her 6 pieces chairpad lastweek  in tutie fruitie design.Both fabric have the same yellow colour background.A great way to cheer up an otherwise dull kitchen.

It IS saturday again.I have been hooked on scraps,strings and selvages the whole week long!

Phew....Now i know how contagious this craft can be..I can only blame on my " i can do it "gene..In a hassle to get my first selvage job done i simply clean the edges of the finished 13 inch by 15 inch rectangle piece and its all ready..enough to give me inspiration, courage and patience to go on ..It makes a nice cover on my lappy or even under my plate...hihihi.Nothing much to show..but i am still going to post it here..

My first selvadge job done!..Just completed the piecing.hahaha.. Now for the greatest part. .nak buat ape??

I am sooo excited .This piece nampak busy sangat but i kind of like the two teeny weeny berries on the left and right.Let me just get over this excitement before i think of what to stitch it into.I think i am going to be very busy looking up for more selvages to get me through many more selvedge quilt project to come.

Nappy organiser for multi purpose use.

These 2 nappy organisers are for my  good friend Pn.Zaiton.She has 3 lovely daughters.Although originally its for stacking nappies we have diversify the usage depending on where it is hung and the age of the user hihihi... .The top and the base are quilted so as to give it a good shape when it is hung up.It has a 20 inches opening running through the middle for easy storage.Not to worry..the nappy or anything store within will not fall off .It is also practical in the kitchen as it can hold all the plastics groceries for recycle.A fabric with fruits or vegetable design will be ideal for the kitchen.I still have to do another one.Looks clean ....Maybe a bow ribbon on top will compliment the overall look.
