Snack Bags

I'm in the middle of preparing my older daughter's birthday... again. She will be 10 years old next month. Preadolescent with some developmental issues *be ware*.

So far I have made some snack bags for the goody bags. The tutorial is from Laura Wilson (see here) and I have tried it once for Fabric Gift Wrapping. I love it... So easy and simple with a nice end result. This time I used Ikea fabric with neutral print & color since my daughter will have guests from both gender, her girl friends and boy friends (real friends, ok?) :D

I put some ribbons for girl snack bags just to make them different than the boys' and... it will easier to carry in their hands. I plan to fill those snack bags with food, bookmark and thank you card. We will see...

See the photo below. My daughter already used her snack bag to keep her girly stuffs she received from her aunty, Lidya. Too bad I do not have a photo of another snack bag belongs to my lil baby... She uses it to keep her Pokemon balls & toys... LOL....

DIY Cloth Napkins

This was one project that I planned together with my friend, Iv. As beginners, we needed simple projects to become familiar with our new friends, sewing machines. And, as written in Lotta's book, cloth napkin is a good project for beginner like us. 

Yes, simple project but it made me happy since I love using cloth napkins for our meal time.

First napkins, with mitered corners

Fabric: cotton from Mondial Tissus

Second napkins

Fabric: cotton from Eurodif (on sale!)

The ones with mitered corners were a bit more difficult than the usual ones. But I really love the results. It looks classy... for me.
