Chef Hat for Hana

Going back to work isn't what I looked forward for after having spent 2 months at home. Haish~ Having had new responsibility at work and home really makes me worn out. Hopefully it'll get better soon and I can have my own time doing what I love - sewing! :)

Luckily, I had a couple of hours to spend on a handmade birthday gift. It was a bit rush but thankfully I get it done on time! yay! Happy Birthday Hana! Mak Cho loves you! ;)

The Chef Set for Hana

It looks more like a mushroom than a hat! lol~

Just trying on applique.. I'm happy just because I'm able to read it.. Haha!

Poor photo resolution. I blame it on camera and time... Never me.. *isk isk isk isk ;)

My little prince trying on the Chef Hat. It's adjustable! It easily fits him (2 years old) and me (old enough to not have mention it here.. haha!) Btw, I used velcro~ :)

I hope Hana loves the gift. She once told me that she wanted to be a chef so I thought she'd love this set. Hana, it's time to bake cup cakes! *Ohh... teringin pulak nak makan cupcake utk berbuka.. sabar sya.. sabar... isk isk isk..

Happy birthday dear! :)

My next project is baju melayu... stay tune~~

Inspired by Dura's circle dress.. :)

I was so inspired by a dress made by Dura. She made a circle dress which I envy.. Thanks Dura for sharing your work! I don't enough fabric to work on as most of my collection are all less than a meter each.. So, I've made the dress below from the limited fabric that I have. Not circle but have the same look.. ^__^" I'm thinking of giving it to my niece for her kenduri aqiqah.. Will only give it to her after the ceremony ended.. lol. I don't want to pressure the mommy to make her wear for the ceremony.. ;)

The dress is too dull for my so I added up the rose embelishment on the belt to make it.. ermm.. merrier? haha! I made it from felt and I hope it'll stay longer on the dress..

I bought only a meter for the ribbon and it turns out short and distorted looking.. lol.. Should have listen to hubby when he suggested a meter and half for it.. ;p

P/S: Sorry for the poor resolution of the photos. The lighting wasn't good and I, on the other hand, is NOT a good photographer. lol. Maybe I'll take a photo of her wearing it.. or maybe not.. haha!

Updated! :)

Boy's button-up shirt - v2

It's hard to make the kids sit still for the photo session. Haha! Thanks to Brittany, so far I've managed to make 3 button-up shirt for my son and nephews. :)

I love the rainbow fabric. It suits well with my nephew Haziq and I love the dark blue burberry fabric on Amir. :) Since I didn't get the chance to measure them myself, it's all based on a hunch.. lol! The pants and sleeves are shorter for Amir and for Haziq, it fitted just nice which means, he can only wear it for a couple of weeks. Haha! :)

As for the felt design, I was looking for how to stitch a blanket stitch and I found a great webby - Crafty Daisies on the how-to.

Pants + Kimono shirt = Pajama! YAY!

I found an awesome tutorial on how to sew shorts as it's one of my goal to make Zhafran's short since I took up sewing. It's so handy to know the how to when you really needed one. As of now I've made several shorts and long pants for my son. Never knew it'd be so easy. Although my sewing skill still sucks. LOL! I'm so thankful to have found the tutorial. I can pair it up with the kimono that I made on the last entry. Now I can make a pajama out of it!

P/S: I hope I can make my own pants/shorts based on the tut!

Here are the devils!
