Messenger Bag for Nivee

Love is in the air

My daughter's friend (najwa's friend), nivee was having her birthday party last saturday. since i know how to sew, i plan to sew something for her..

at first, i wanted to make a dress but i scared i would make a wrong size so, i made a messenger bag instead.

snap button & 1 pocket in front

1 velcro pocket inside

adjustable strap

my signature..:)

she invited my eldest one (nadia) as well, so from nadia i made a simple pencil case or pouch for her..

matching pouch/pencil case

2 pockets inside

i hope i made nivee happy with these gifts....

Messenger Bag for Najwa

Najwa my daughter, always has her own thought...
When she wanted me to make her a messenger bag, she was asking for blue stripe...
I had the colour & the patern in my mind but still didn't get the cloth yet...so when she followed me to the shop, she saw this one..
i tried to ask her to take another patern since they didn't have any other stripe patern...but once she made up her mind, u couldn't change it. 

buckle
she told me that she didn't want velcro, and preferred this buckle... 

pockets
she wanted a pocket at the side to put her water bottle...heheh... i don't know how to do that, so i just made it at the front with an elastic band...hope that will satisfy her...:)

inside pocket
i put a velcro pocket inside the bag and she's happy with it...


adjustable strap
another thing that make her happy...

mama's work
from mama with love...:) 



till then...daaaaa....

Skirt for Alicia

kembang
my friend, alicia was so happy to see all the dresses that i made before... it never come across my mind why was she soo happy...i thought she wanted me to make a dress for her little one, melissa...since i want to focus on the girl's stuff only..(not lady..)
huhuhu...rupa-rupanya she got plan for herself...dia nak i wat skirt for her...

process menggunting kain
she gave me the sample and i started working on it... at first, it looked quite easy...cut the cloth and attached it...pretty easy right? 

first 3 layers
the tricky part came when i started working on the 4th & 5th layers... the 4th one is almost 4 meters and the 5th one is more than 5 meters... imagine that i had to wrinkle the 5 meters cloth and attached it to the other shorter layer... hmmm....pening and berpinar2 jugak bijik mata ni...

that's why i had to stop for a while and work on something else...like trying to make my first wristlet..

completed!!
finally i did! i was so happy to see the final product and plan to make one for myself later...(bila later tu? tak tau la...huhuhu...)

melissa's skirt-comel
alicia wanted me to make a skirt for melissa, her daughter as well...if there are some extra cloths...and i really enjoyed working with this one... it only took about a few hours for me to cut and complete everything...:-)


like mother like daughter
i passed it to alicia today and she called me later after work to tell me that melissa looked sooo cute in that skirt...like tennis player like that....

hmmm...what else that make me happy other than a happy customer? it makes me feel to make more & more.... 


till then...daaa...
