Taming a wild bull... contoh la.

berserabut dan bersepah. benang putus-putus. tapi aku optimistic!

i got my serger. thx a lot my friend kak Julie.

but learning to use it is not easy peasy for me. it's.. 'wild'.

i'm taming my serger. and it's not an overnight task for me.

baju raya tahun lepas. tak siap siap lagi. jarang tuww. kena pakai lagi selapis inner walao dah lining.

 
in the mean time... i tamed my supposed-to-be-last-year's-baju-kurung while taming my serger.


last year's supposed to be baju kurung was sheer fabric and needed lining. i had never tried lining before, so it was my first time. 
susah gak la. for the baju , i borrowed a friend's old baju with lining for sample. kain tak pinjam lak. so.. aku main agak agak la.. amamposla sukati aku je. hehe.


aku blom terer guna serger so Dreams... hold on.

Early evening yesterday.
i'm a simple person.. many simple things can make me happy. i seem like a demanding person or so my boyfriend says whenever he feels uneasy that he cant go with plans he has planned with me. but actually i'm not. not really a demanding person. 

so pasaq malam can make me happy. so it did!

 i went to the night market near my house - the three of us earlier. i just needed ayam rangka. mertabak daging. barang basah sket. i was good to go..home. 


while our Nurul Sugar is even easier to please.
she just needed a pair of Yellow shoes. her old ones were red slippers, torn.
and new toys. Dad brought her balls this time. 3 balls. yellow, red and blue. amekaw Yang. peluk semua dalam stroller. ha barula tak nampak jalan. huehue.

bulky kan? most of her things, she picked on her own. Yellow, yellow, yellow.

making a dream come true

i always want to be a better seamstress. i ve started making some attempts to make clothes for my little Sugar.
#1

which was made without thinking much, the gathered bottom part was quite weird. wonky wonky. my first time trying it out, anyway. and Nurul Sugar had difficulty putting it on through her head. So tight, i didnt make it larger than her head, just enough, and needed a hard pulling through. lol. suffered. i actually took a sample from one of her dress which the material was knit-stretchable. duh. while that blue polka dot fabric was actually i found in my stash... from way back when.. bought to make some pillow cases (a project was never started) BUT i think she likes new dress ..she was grinning all along.. just NOT in the pic. haha


#2

this one was made out of my boyfriend's Winston T shirt. bought at bundles' . hehe it was never fit. and it was still alright. thick fabric. so i thought of making boatneck big t shirt for night sleep. but the boatneck was not a success and the neck cuff was thick too. i added a bow just for fun. hmm outcome was not fun looking.. too plain. i will definitely alter this when i get my serger.. SOON! ha!! 

 #3

 i made this dress in 2 nights. of course, Nurul Sugar usually sleeps soundly and i can sew :)


it was cut A-line. i originally wanted it as a shirred dress. BUT. my being a beginner - the elastic thread was not kind to me. :(  after i sewed 1 row with elastic thread at the top part, it broke after i stretch it out. or shouldnt i do that? hmm... anyway, if she would wear it, that elastic supposed to stretch out right. uh.
i tried a few times but to no avail. so my solution was, nevermind the elastic thing-no shirring shirring- just forget it lah! i inserted an elastic band through the seam at the top. and then i prepared 8 strips of fabric, sewn together to make the straps for the shoulders. and i made a matching simple diaper cover from the same fabric. oh. btw, the fabric was the viscose cotton yang bebulu bila basuh tu. not supposed to be that pricey but  i got it for RM40! i didnt know at first, and just a few weeks after i got the fabric from someone at my workplace, i stumbled across the same type of fabric at pasaq malam. patut kat pasaq malam , only RM25 for 4 meters. i felt like i was robbed !! T..T


at least Nurul Sugar is happy with her new dress. Sugar help ibu make better clothes for you okay. how? be healthy, nice and happy always.


i will get a serger as i have been wishing for for several months now. i will get this one, InsyaAllah. a friend at school has more than 1 sergers at home. i bargained and asked for installment too (^o^). since she was so kind, we came to an agreement. yippie! tunggu gaji la pulak ....

mesin jahit idamanku. ( yeke? :D)

i wish...

aku teringin sangat mesin jahit tepi.


walaupun aku tak tau berapa kali aku akan menjahit dalam setahun, tapiprojek aku yg sebelum ni asyik tertangguh sbb mesin jahit tepi :P


bila aku baru beli kain baru, semangat nak potong.... bila dah hantar kat kedai jahit tepi, nak kena tunggu pulak kan.. kadang kadang kena tinggal dulu kat kedai. bila dah collect balik, mood nak menjahit pun malap malap...


lepas tu sejak ada nurul sugar ni, lagi la lambat siap sebab dia selalu 'tolong' . hehe ... tengah sedap sedap menjahit, tetiba mesin jahit aku mati.. rupanya ada si kenit ni tolong tekan button off. sabo je la. 


so kalau ada mesin jahit tepi, even tengah malam .. tiba tiba, feel menjahit tu datang je... zuuuuupppp! berdesup pi mula projek. best kan. haha


aku angan angan kan mesin ni ha...




tapi mahal nya nak mampos... 2500usd. babylock evolution serger. ribu riban. aku pun tak tau nak beli kat mana babylock ni kat mesia ni. kalau takde, hat ni pun jadi la...

  ni pun seribu juga. umm tak de yg murah murah lagi ke bawah thousand?
