Seing-wish-list for Zara

I've a few bucket loads of sewing wish list that I've yet to work on. I'm taking baby steps as I have a lot of new commitments in personal life and career wise. Really hope that I can finish my sewing-wish-list especially for my little girl, Zara.

Completed my 1st baju kurung! ;)

I've always had this feeling that I could never sew a baju kurung (malay traditional clothing). Still unsure of the reason but I picked myself and have it a go. This is my first project after a long 2 months of hiatus. I must say that I'm terrified of the outcome since I'm still a rookie in this field.

Finally, I've managed to sew a baju kurung for my little princess. Thanks to Maya, Aziela and Solehah who are kindly enough posted up tutorials on baju kurung. Thank you sooo much! :D

Here's the result!

Too sleepy to continue sembat the sleeves and baju.. Ah~ it can wait.. hehehe~ :)

Problem sewing elastic thread using Brothers Sewing Machine? - Solved!

I was frustrated with elastic thread because it won't gathered.. it looks like a plain stitch. I thought I did something wrong as there are thousands of tutorials for elastic thread - even our fellow malaysian crafter made a tutorial for it - said that it's a easy peasy thing to do. Little that I know, there's a bobbin tension that needs to be tighten for Brothers sewing machine. I found the great info through a fab tutorial from Cretiveheart... I L.O.V.E the outcome!

If you encountered similar problem - usually found on Brothers sewing machine, just give it a try. It'll blew your mind away! :D

Credited to creativeheart.. Lots of love.. Thanks! :)
