Sew It - Baby Booties

Done! Itty bitty baby booties in Tula Pink Hushabye fabrics in the prettiest sage and pink combo :D

This week's Sew It we're sewing these cuties from Stardustshoes's very popular Cloth Shoe Pattern. This is my first time sewing baby booties, I tell you, it's not easy working with tiny pieces of fabrics especially circular ones. Working it on the machine, careful not to botch the seam allowance, phewww.....

BUT, I'm so glad I made it! I mean how can I not smile looking at those bunnies? And the warm colors are just awesome!

The side view, picture taken before I sewed the buttons on top. Without the buttons the top is a bit ruched as it is pulled by the elastic inside. I used felt for the soles and lined them with solid Kona cotton. I also forgot about interfacing the fabric but it turned out okay.

I don't have small feet this size in the house anymore (oh how I miss those wiggly toes). The only baby in the family now is my newborn niece I made the quilt for before. I've yet to meet her, waiting for hubby to get away from work a day or two to go back to my hometown and see the precious Asma Widad.

And of course these booties will be hers! :)

Three Little Bags, Three Times The Happiness!

Two posts in a day, I'm on a roll :D

Weekend was super hectic as I scramble to finish these bags before my nephew's birthday which was held at my sis's place last night.

It was supposed to be just one little personalised bag for Nazrin, my nephew, when the story suddenly took a twist. The storyline went something like this :

Crazy Sewing Mommy emerged from sewing room at 11 am : Ta Da! Handmade birthday present for Yayin yeay!

Little Tot Hanan : Grabbed the bag. Anan munye!! Anan munye begggg! (My bag, my bagggg!)

Crazy Sewing Mommy : Noooo....this belongs to Abang Yayin dear...

Little Tot Hanan : ANAN MUNYEEEEEEE! *stomp-stomp-rolling-on-the-floor-loud-wailing*

Super Patient cum Commander Hubby : Please make another one for her. We don't want her grabbing at the bag when Nazrin open his present tonite right? And while you're at it why not make one for Aisha too (he's really impressed with the applique *grin*)

Crazy Sewing Mommy : *sweat* Switch to super mommy mode.

And so I was in the room till 7.30pm, finished just in time to go to the party :D

The bag was really an easy one. I just winged the cutting, thus the different sizes. It's the applique and personalised names that was time consuming.

Look out! Owl behind the wheels! :P

Groovy Heart for Aisha

Three Hearts with a Peeking Owl for Hanan

Nazrin happy with his new bag :)

I love the result. But most importantly, one little tot was happy on the way to the party. And she just knew how to melt my heart with this smile of hers.

Two More Cute Wristlet and Heart to Sandra Bullock

I am never tired of cute stuff, so the above cuties deserve a highlight in my blog :D

They are for the cheerful, ever bubbly customer, Finaz. Hope you like them as much as I do! Those cupcakes make me hungry :P

Oh ya, what about the other part of the title? Not sewing related at all, but for the record, I'm a BIG fan of hers, back on the days of While You Were Sleeping. And she does NOT deserve what's happening to her now.

Oh Sandra, why does these things always happen to the most brilliant, smartest, prettiest and beautiful, wonderful women, just like you? My love to you, sending over all the way from Malaysia.

Okay, enough out of character, non crafty rambling from me. For you, wonderful readers, I'll see you when I see you! (in the next post that is) ;)
