Sewing for Christmas ~ 圣诞节手作

Christmas is just around the corner. I'm sure those who are busy with Christmas sewing would have already completed their projects. I didn't make much this year, well in fact this is the first time I'm sewing for Christmas. I don't really celebrate Christmas, but living in this beautiful multi-cultural country, we join in the fun for all festive occasions regardless of ethnic or beliefs. :)

I made two type of hair clips. One using fabric filled with cotton fiber, so it's sort of like a 3D butterfly knot french hair clips. The other type is using owl and ginger bread man print ribbons, a double butterfly knot french hair clips. I have also sewed few drawstring bags using different Christmas theme fabric. Lastly, it's fabric coasters with cotton lining, a set of four, using two different fabric patterns, reindeer and Christmas trees.

All these Christmas items are selling at a bookstore nearby my house. Those who are interested may click the link here.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Handmade Book with Music Theme ~ 音乐主题手缝书

一位老同学托我帮她制作手缝书。是要作为三个小女生的圣诞礼物。 这三个小女生年龄不同,但她们都很热爱音乐。所以我这位老同学想要送她们以音乐为主题的手缝书。很有意思吧。

想要找音乐主题的布料和配件比我想象中还要困难。不是图案太复杂,就是颜色不对。就连要找有音符图案的彩带都找不着。最后就以mix & match 的方式把音乐元素带出来。正所谓凡事无需太执着,要学会变通, 随遇而安。

希望三个小女生会喜欢这精心为她们制作的手缝书,并用于书写生活中的点点滴滴。



在曼谷入手的Treble clef charm 刚好可以派上用场
