Back to Quilt ~ for a baby boy

It's done! 

A friend of mine was expecting a baby boy and  few months ago she asked me to make a tote bag for her using Indian cotton fabrics. 

I've been busy making passport wallets for the past few months and enjoyed it tremendously. 

And here's what I came up with

peacock blue and dark grey combo

 The bag has a drawstring closure. I was thinking of using zippers but as diaper bags drawstring seems to be more versatile since you can fit in more stuff without worrying about the zippers. 

With the bag I made a matching mini quilt. 

it's 30" x 30" which is perfect for new born.

It's meant for spring/summer weather so I used flannel batting. It turned out very soft.

one more shot

I've been using flannel batting for few quilts that I made and I like it, esp for my kind of weather which is quite humid during the summer.

It's a perfect covering in AC room during the summer months ^v^ .

If you need the fabric, you can visit my shop or contact me in my FACEBOOK .

I'd be glad you hear from you.

Until then...

Little Tunics

I made these little tunics as custom order in my etsy shop. 

I've listed two of them as custom order since I have few yards left of the same fabric. 

If you need to order, simply visit my SHOP .

First Post of 2014 - A very hungry Caterpillar quilt

Oh.my.God ...I haven't been blogging for a loooooong time! Well, I mostly post my work on my facebook page or my Instagram.

The last few months I've been busy with my Etsy shop, taking few orders for passport wallets, tunic, quilts etc. It's been quite a busy months for me.

Few months back, I was doing this very hungry caterpillar quilt for one customer. Panel quilt seems easy to do, but it's quite tricky if you don't plan properly. Or maybe it's just me ^^.

front side

I always need to draw the quilts I am going to make with detail measurements of the block's size.

There was few ripping moments while I was doing this one. It's really a learning experience for me. 

back side

It was really fun doing it and I'm happy that she liked the quilt too! 

Until Then...

Lots of zippy pouches

The birthday party went off well last Sunday and even the grown ups wanted the zippy pouch that I made to fill in the goody bags.

It was on impulse that I decides to make these zippies. I asked the birthday boy to choose the fabrics and he did.

The big bro even wanted to me to show him the sewing process. Later on I found out that he bragged abit about his mom sewing the pouch to his friends. How sweet is that! My best compliment!

A friend saw my post and wanted for her daughters, hence the pink series ^_^

Some of these pouches already up the my ETSY SHOP .

Go and grab few now, it comes in a Gift Pack of 3 

I really enjoy making pouches. In fact I always do. 

I have done few more of this pouches yesterday. 

and now, I better back to my quilt ...

pssst! don't you like all those fancy picture editor in your android? Well, I am addicted to them. recently found this pipcamera which is awesome!

Everyone needs Family Passport Wallet

Oh yes, I know how it feels carrying 4 passports, residential permit, marriage certificate, exit permit plus my PIO card while travelling. Not to mentions the tickets - several of them since we always have to have several stop overs >_<.  The options I have are store bought leather passport wallet or the one from the travel agents, which barely survived one trip.

So, why not make one? Yes..so, benchmarking from the store bought wallet, here's my straight and simple {and cute} Family Passport Wallet. 

This wallet can hold up to 6 passport and spacious long pocket on the sides to keep your travel documents and small change. 

It has a small swivel hook for your luggage keys (yay)

I used Indian cotton fabric and heavy interface. It's sturdy and  a wide velcro closure will keep everything in place. 

Another one I made was using this cute hot air balloon over the Eiffel Tower fabric. Bought them from this shop during my trip back home last July. 

when folded

I love that little hexagon there ^_^

This wallet will make a perfect holiday gift. 

Both the wallets are listed in my ETSY SHOP

Visit the shop or my Facebook Page if you want custom order

Until then
