And the sewist herself, Aim, rocker wife & wedding florist, how's that for uber cool? Totally! Head on over to her blog here and say hi to her. Thank you so much Aim I am so glad you joined the swap *hugs*

I have also installed a new comment system to allow me to reply to your comments here. Really I think blogger should pick this up already. I hope you'll not be put off with the new comment thingy, it really is user friendly and I will reply to your comments personally.

Okies, gotta run to class now, Marketing presentation in 1 hour and guess what the topic is? "Mass Marketing Is Dead" hahaha I am so gonna nail it.

Crafty Swap - From Me to Ms Ajjah

I managed! In the nick of time & decided not to keep it a secret. I made lovely Ms. Ajjah an itty bitty fabric basket and a pretty huge pincushion yeay!

I love this little project. I realised that I truly missed sewing just because and not something for sale. It's fun and really comforting. The fabric is my first attempt of the popular Pink Penguin tute. I don't know why I did not make one earlier, it's such an easy project and I like the result. The handles turned out a tad too long and the lining is a little large too. But I still think its pretty and I'm glad I chose to make this. I plan to make more for myself. It's great to have beside my sewing machine, filled with thread cutter, needles and just about any sewing paraphernalia that could fit into it. Major love!

The pincushion is a last minute whip up. It's larger than anticipated, you could stick A LOT of pins on that lol. And I made those covered buttons, another first time for me.

So, these babies are on the way to you Ajjah. I hope you like 'em :)

I know mine is on the way from Aim, will blog about it once its here, can't wait!

I hope everyone in the swap is having fun too, would love to see the projects blogged about. I am back to more sewing to finish up on orders. Till later, stay beautiful girly girl! :)

Sew & Share Crafty Swap

Ok, the last 3 days was kraaay-zeeeey....!! I'll spare you the details lol, let's just move on :)

Now, time to have some fun! Ladies, as promised, come join me in a crafty swap! The rules are simple :

Sew something up, send it to your partner. Easy, peasy. It doesn't have to be elaborate stuff. A small project is enough. The aim here is to encourage us to sew & a chance to socialize among the many wonderful lady crafters. If you have a blog, please make an entry about the item you received from fellow sewist plus some pictures of the item(s).

To join, simply comment below with your email address. I will contact you to inform who your partner is & you can proceed to get to know your partner and get the address detail by emailing her.

Since my main passion is sewing & fabrics, please only sewing projects from fabrics (not felt etc) for this swap ya? It can also involve embroidery if you like. I'd love to see your creativity at play :)

For this debut swap, I'm restricting it to the local participants. Let me see how it goes & perhaps  I will up the excitement ante by making this an International swap in the next round.

So ladies, grab that button, pop it in your blog, link it to this post and spread the love! I will be in the swap too, already excited of the project I'm gonna sew up. Entry is open until 9th of December, and you have until the end of December to sew something up and mail it to your partner.

Let the game BEGINS!  :D

Nota kaki : Penyertaan dibuka sehingga 9hb Disember. Saya akan email semua peserta yang beri komen di entry ini dan maklumkan siapa pasangan swap anda. Kemudian boleh mula menjahit dan pos kepada pasangan anda paling lewat 31 Disember 2010.

Tiada tema khusus. Boleh jahit apa sahaja asalkan berasaskan fabrik (bukan felt, kertas etc). 

Nasihat saya, berkenalan dengan pasangan anda, lawati blog dia sekiranya ada, untuk dapat sedikit idea apakah minat/kecerendungan pasangan anda. 

Contoh : Sekiranya pasangan anda tu single jangan le jait baju baby pulak hehe....paling simple dan selamat jaitlah barangan untuk rumah atau bilik jahitan. Pilih projek yang mudah dan boleh cepat siap. Be creative! :)

Stash Swap Group 3 - Received

I've received the stash from my partner, Kak Noor and I'm so happy! So many cute stuff! I love ém all!

These are the FQs, ribbons and buttons. They are super cute! Am so happy to receive many large shank buttons as I really wanted them for making bags.

I especially adore this lady...so very vintage!

The felts. Love the color and especially the polkadot printed one, wow! I've never done any felt craft before, I think I'm gonna start soon.
And the surprise stash – wow what a surprise!

Kak Noor gave me her handmade bag made from LV monogram inspired cotton fabric! Her work is awesome, the bag is very well made!

Aisha took one look at it and immediately grabbed it for herself. It's the perfect size for her.

To Kak Noor, a big THANK YOU for the stash. Please visit her blog to find out more about her crafts.
Meanwhile I've sent my stash to my partner Aimila. Visit her blog to find out what I sent for this Stash Swap. I'm not sure if Hani wants us to make something from the stash as the next activity. But if she does, I'm in! This is so much fun! J
