Ballerina Pencil Bag ~ 笔袋

As promised, I sewed a pencil bag using the ballerina fabric for a friend. This is a gift from a mother to her daughter who will be going to primary one next year. Such a lovely mother. :)

Hope the pencil bag will accompany the little girl throughout her learning journey and wishing her a wonderful learning journey ahead.

Fabric Book Jacket ~ 布书衣

其实从来没有想过要缝制书衣。之前有朋友建议我缝制书衣,当时我觉得书籍的尺寸不一,很难做出合适所有书籍的书衣。最近又有朋友提起书衣。她说在市面上很难找到布制书衣,有的话也卖得很贵。她让我看看她在台湾买的书衣,鼓励我试试做做看。回家后我往书架看,发现其实书籍的尺寸并不是我想的那么“多样化”呵呵。

于是,我就依照朋友的书衣样本和书籍的尺寸,动手制作了第一个书衣。第一个缝制得不太好,尺寸有点差错。赶紧又动手做了第二个。总算在第一次的经验过后,把第二个书衣做好。

Baking for School Fundraising Drive ~ 为学校筹款

My girl's school was having a fundraising drive to raise funds for further enhancement of the school infrastructure. Standard 4 to 6 students were given the opportunities to participate in such event. 

After much discussion, my girl decided that we make muffin to support the event. It's coffee walnut muffin. I think it's a really meaningful task for the students. They don't only help contribute to the school as a student, through the event they also learn how to plan and design their "stall". The best part, I think, is gaining the experience of promoting and selling a product.

My girl was so excited that she couldn't sleep the night before!

Paper doilies are great for decoration
