Chocolate Pink 粉色巧克力

I'm overwhelmed with joy by the positive and encouraging feedback received from the parents on the bags I sewed for my daughter's ballet school. Such encouragement is definitely the source of motivation for me to continue to create more beautiful products :) I'm very thankful for the opportunity to sew for the ballet centre, the experience had certainly enriched my crafting journey. 

This is one of the latest bags I made for the ballet school. The theme is chocolate pink. The combination of chocolate brown and pink is gorgeous! It reminds me of delicious chocolate and beautiful roses. :)

Hope you will like it too.

Ballerina Shoes Bags 芭蕾舞鞋袋

I'm making new batch of shoes bags. This time the design is simpler, less is more! 

I made the shoes bag in three colours, pink, lilac and mustard yellow. Actually, I like baby blue too, but I noticed that blue is not so favourable among the little girls at the ballet centre, so I didn't make the bag in blue colour. I love this ballerina prints fabric a lot, those little ballerinas are so cute! I added some laces, ribbon and cute bunny button, I just love them.

Let's Go Holiday ~ Overnight and Weekend Bag 走,旅行去吧!

I'm very delighted to know that a young mother at my daughter's ballet centre like the ballet bags I made and told me that she found them very interesting. That's such a sweet and encouraging comment! :) She asked if I could make an overnight or a weekend bag for her. Her favourite colour is purple. 

This is the second purple bag that I'm making in a row haha..Looks like purple is quite popular among the young mothers :) 

This overnight/weekend bag with measurement L16.5"xW9"xH13.5" is the largest bag I have ever sewn so far. It's spacious enough to pack in a few sets of clothes for a short breaks and weekend getaways. I have added an elasticated pocket inside the bag as the compartment to keep smaller items. There are also three outside pockets sewn to the bag, one in front and two at the side. 

I myself am really pleased with the outcome of this project. I hope the young mother will like it too.

Handmade Diary for Little Ballerina 芭蕾舞女孩日记本

My daughter was invited to her friend's birthday party. It's a friend from her ballet class. This girl despite rather petite for her age, can dance very well. She loves to dance very much just like my daughter. 

I made her a special diary with ballerina as the cover. I'm sure she would like it.


Happy birthday Angel!

Marine Blue Tote Bag 海军风托特包


I made myself another bag. This time it's a squarish bag, more roomy for me to carry lots of stuff in it. Very handy for girls day out shopping. :)

I used navy blue polka dot and stripe fabric to match with the marine sign fabric. It turned out pretty well.
