Anniversary Scrap Page
This is a late post. I made this scrap page for my wedding anniversary gift in September 1. Ah yes, a gift for myself and for my husband. My big daughter helped me a bit. The photo in the middle was taken by my friend, Mimi Champy, with the setting in the flower garden near St. Etienne cathedral, Bourges. The small photo was taken by my big daughter during our summer holidays in Prague.
Just a simple page but so sweet...
Trimsies in PUL
Et voilà! Trimsies in PUL. Finally I made it last week. I used the Basic Trainer pattern with size M. My notes: difficult to sew PUL fabric and bamboo terry fabric. They both are stretched. Any tips?
Inner & soaker: bamboo terry
Outer: PUL Ooga Booga
Side panel: PUL green

Honey Jar Pincushion & Sewing Kit Storage
Awalnya karena baca hub ttg sewing machine needles di sini. Penulisnya kasih saran utk menyediakan pincushion spesial utk jarum mesin jahit (silakan baca tulisannya, sangat menarik dan bermanfaat). Kemudian, browsing2 di Tipnut dan Tip Junkie utk berbagai tutorial DIY pincushion (OMG, asli lucu2 banget, bingung milihnya). Akhirnya jatuhlah pandangan pada satu tuto yang memanfaatkan botol bekas makanan bayi (baby food jar). Very berry good idea... Apalagi krn saya sendiri butuh banget wadah utk keperluan jahit tp yg lebih kecil dan lebih ringkes dibanding kotak perlengkapan jahit yang ada di rumah.
So, berdasarkan tutorial Baby Food Jar Pincushion tersebut, saya membuat satu pincushion yg jg berfungsi sebagai sewing kit storage. Botol yang digunakan bukan bekas makanan bayi melainkan bekas madu, jadi lebih besar. Bahan kainnya bukan katun biasa namun felt sisa2 acara ulang tahun Estelle bulan April lalu. Pita-nya juga.
Voilà... udah jadi. Tinggal dikasih kotak2 utk tiap ukuran jarum mesin jahit.
