Fabric Water Tumbler Carrier in Style ~ 清新亮丽水壶袋

最近一位妈妈向我订制了水壶袋。之前都是为小孩们缝制水壶袋,为大朋友制作还是头一次。在设计和颜色运用方面有必要做些调整。虽然,是有这么想但脑袋却不一定配合。当我们习惯了用某个方式处理事情,因为有了这些经历,脑袋就会用同样的方式操作。

之前所制作的水壶袋的肩带都是缝在袋子的外面,因为袋口是以束口袋的方式完成。而这一次呢,这位妈妈要求说水壶袋不要用束口的袋口。我明白了要求,但脑袋却没有收到相关的讯息!水壶袋做好后,我把相片传给这位妈妈。她回复说肩带看来怪怪的,是否可以修改。她建议把肩带的位置调高。我看了看,觉得没有什么问题啊。但还是同意帮她修改。在拆线的过程中,我突然想到了另一个更好的方式来缝制肩带。还好,修改后这位妈妈还满意。别人的意见真的是很可贵,他们可以为我们指出盲点。所以我非常感谢可以给我意见的朋友和顾客。让我能够不断进步,把作品做得更好。

Spiderman Pencil Pouch ~ 蜘蛛侠笔袋

This is actually long overdue. My boy asked me to make a big pencil case for him. He said the existing one he has is a bit small, not able to put in scissors and glue.

I actually cut out the fabric long ago but then the project was put on hold as there were some other projects to attend to and I thought this can wait...One day, my boy came to me and said why I prioritized other projects over his. I was speechless. It was indeed a fair remark. Yes, there are a lot times we put other people's needs above our loved ones' needs. I will keep that in mind son, thank you for reminding me what matters most. :-)

Everyone needs a pencil case
Spacious enough to carry lots of stuff in it
It's a blessing to be able to serve the one we love

Scandinavian Prints Small Tote ~ 北欧风托特包

I love the simple, clean yet stylist Scandinavian design. Made two pieces of small tote lately using Scandinavian prints fabric. Simple is beautiful.

Sewing for School Carnival ~ 学校义卖会

My children's school was having a carnival last week. The event was organised to help raise fund for the school to build a school hall. Both my children were very excited about the school carnival.  

Students of higher grades were invited to participate in setting up stalls at the carnival. My daughter and her friends decided to set up a craft stall selling squishy, elastic hair band decorated with hand knitting ribbon and oobleck fun. Seeing them working so hard to prepare for the carnival, I offered to help to sew some items to put at their stall. 

As it was decided quite last minute and I was contemplating on the items to sew, I didn't managed to make too many, only managed to sew 10 pieces of lunch box carrier bags at last. :D  But the girls are happy with it.
