Get ready for back to school 准备开学咯。。。。

I bought this beautiful princess print fabric online some time ago, thinking of making something for my girl. After 'consulting' my girl, I've decided to make a pencil case and a water tumbler case for her for her new school year 2013.

Flipping through my craft books collection and I found the pattern I like and the one with instructions that I can follow hahah..After much measuring, cutting, ironing, sewing, mending.. tarra..here is the output. The pencil case turned out to be a little bit too small that I wanted it to be. Put a remark on my craft book on this to remind myself not to repeat the same mistake the next time. The water tumble case, on the other hand, turned out to be too big, but that's not a big problem, I can still mend it by cutting off the extra fabric. Lesson learned, always measure a little extra, good to have allowance for error :) . 

十二月就要接近尾声了,也意味着学校年终假期就将结束,又是准备开学咯。
对于布料一直都有一种莫名的喜欢,出外逛街或旅行都好,只要看到喜欢的,合眼缘的,都会将之搜罗回家。所以家里都堆积了不少不同质地,不同设计的布料。
女儿从小就很喜欢迪士尼公主系列的故事,手上的这款灰姑娘的布料正好可以用来缝制些上学用品给她。
参考了书上的建议及尺寸,女儿在新学年的铅笔盒及水壶袋终于出来见人了。
从这次的制作中也学到了一些道理,尽信书不如无书,书本只能够让我们参考,作任何决定前都必须自己去衡量及思考。就有如这铅笔盒般,如果完全根据书上的建议的话,就会出现太小的情况,而水壶袋则会太大。
当然大会好过小,因为就算是有任何地方出现问题的话,还有一些可供修改的空间嘛。
