But we are glad for all the support we get from you :)

Bollywood Fever

2010-03-18T03:56:00.000-07:00

Hi all, after a long hiatus, we are back with some new sewing projects. This satin skirt is made for a friend's Bollywood Night event. It is a 360° full circle skirt, at its simplest form, without laces or anything glitters. We are thinking of ornamenting the skirt with something gold in colour to perfect the Bollywood look.

..and..

the bikini is our first attempt to make something for our customer to match her Beach Bag and much to our surprise the bikini turns out ok, and wearable. We don't know how it's gonna look in the water but it looks okay on Manny. That's all for now as we are going to swim in fat books for exams.

Can't wait to see the owner wears this :)

Curtain

2010-02-04T03:52:00.000-08:00

Good day everyone!

My friend Mardyha ordered a 75" x 40" panel curtain for her

compartment in mahallah. Instead of using velcro, I used

fabric-covered buttons for closure.

Organizer Cover

2010-01-20T06:44:00.000-08:00

This is an organizer cover ordered from Kak Hanum. She designed the whole look for this cover, chose the fabric and yours truly sewn Kak Hanum's creativity into what you see here. As requested, a huge wooden button is placed at the front cover and a slip pocket is made to hide notes or anything one wish to sneak into. The whole cover is lined with fibre batting so it feels pillow-y..

... & the are small compartments for pens and handphone as you can see above,

& at the back in a small slot for business cards.

We must say it is a challenge but we also must admit that it was pure joy to see the outcome!
So Kak Hanum, Iti & Irah hope you like this cover even though its been in the pipeline for quite some time!

Ménage à trois

2010-01-01T03:07:00.000-08:00

Happy twenty-ten to all from both of us!
As we go through 2009, we found out many of our young customers ordered the 3 in 1 combo of our stuff. For a new start of 2010 we are offering the awesome 'threesome' at bargain price. So here it goes!

1. Square Beach Bag 2. Pencil Bag 3. Wristwatch;
all at the price of MYR 50 which is a steal!

And let me tell you the normal price for all the three separately with simple math; Square Beach Bag MYR 28, Pencil Case MYR 10, Wristwatch MYR 17 = Total MYR 55. With that, we would also love to extend our gratitude to our lovely supporters, and wishing you a wonderful year :)

I Made Them Myself

2007-06-05T01:03:00.000-07:00

Ok. So I got nothing to do. I made these; pencil bags and cases, pocket notebooks, a long sleeve shirt (it is not a shirt actually. it's a long sleeve baju made from english cotton fabric), and a dress. My mom is a tailor so I love designing things, sewing, using my mom's extra cloth. Here are some pictures of my handiwork.

Basically, I use the cotton fabric.
It's a lot easier to sew rather than using linen or satin fabric.
