Panda Girl
Made for my fellow Panda sister, the talented Wei Wei as her going away gift. Modified pattern from Owlishly.
Another Blouse
Made this cute little blouse from this Japanese pattern book. It was the simplest one to make of the lot and after some attempts at sewing clothes, it is easier to understand the illustrations. Bought this cotton fabric with little flowers from People’s Park at $7/meter and only used about 1½ meters. Cheaper to make [...]
Bootees
Oh! Did I mention also I made my first pair of tiny tiny booties?! It’s so incredibly cute and adorable. They’re for my friend’s newborn baby boy. I thought he was due next month and was goint to sew her a diaper bag but got the dates wrong so I decided to knit up a [...]
Fabienne Shirtdress
I made a dress! 0505 FABIENNE Shirtdress by Fitzpatterns. My first dress, this was easier to make after 2 attempts at sewing clothing. I love this dress (really just a very long shirt) and received quite a lot of compliments for it. This was made with a linen-polyester blend and took me 2 days to [...]
Patience. Use the force. Think.
It’s the younger Auburn-haired with braid Obiwan Kenobi Amigurumi. A better adjusted, proportioned version of Mace Windu. It’ll be another long long time before another amigurumi, my hand is seriously cramped up and hurting.
Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you’re my only hope.
Thought it was time I made an amigurumi for myself and Princess Leia Organa it was! It does appear Princess Leia is a little chubby (or maybe curvy?) but I think she’s cute like that. I was quite looking forward to making her because of her hair. Did some research on amigurumi hair and I [...]
Sophia Carry All
The Sophia Carry-All is completed! It’s hard not to fall in love with the bag when you first see it on Amy Butler’s website. It has a great shape and something Audrey Hepburn-chic about it. This cute fabric is Bubble Bees Olive by Flutterby. It took me 2 full days and 2 half days to [...]
That’s no moon. It’s a space station.
It’s Obi-Wan Kenobi Amigurumi! Also my Paré Freddie’s belated birthday present. I’m a little over a week late but I think once he sees this it will be okay. It was hard deciding what to make since Yoda was already taken so owner of Yoda #1 suggested the cool Obi-Wan (original) and it was perfect! [...]
Tammy’s Reversible Shoulder Bag
Tammy asked me to sew her a bag and she knew exactly what she wanted. She brought me wine and cream drill fabric and this tutorial. We made some cutomisations to it too so that it would fit her perfectly. Also she asked to make it reversible and it was okay if it wasn’t but [...]
girl*e is stocked!
My etsy store girl*e is now stocked with chic frenchy bags! New bag designs are coming soon! So bookmark my etsy store and keep checking in!
The Force… with me, it is.
It’s Yoda and Mace Windu! I first saw the Yoda amigurumi on Geek Central Station and I sent the link to one of the biggest Star Wars geek I knew and he immediately said he wanted one and asked me to make him one. So I did when the pattern came out at the etsy [...]
Le Sac
I made the Frenchy Bag! Eeet ees sooo preeeeety! I finally bought the Amy Butler Frenchy Bag pattern on ebay after weeks of consideration and I am so pleased I did because I am so so happy because I now have a bag that fits all my stuff and more should such capacity was required. [...]
Built by Elena
I’ve sewn a blouse. A proper one this time. A white cotton waffled blouse with shiny red hexagon buttons! Featuring the amazing as Pin describes “Imelda Marcos sleeves”! Quite a few years ago when I was a student living in Melbourne, I procrastinated. I’m not a very good student. One of the things I decided [...]
Dad’s Birthday Scarf
Looking familiar? Remember Angie’s iPod cosie? Laurie Perry’s Magic Scarf. This is a present for my Dad’s birthday tomorrow he will be 63. This is really unpractical of gift for him. We’re living in Singapore and I knitted him a woolen scarf. But I think he might like it when he decides to travel to [...]
Kink’s Purse
So part 1 of my updates… My latest obsession has been learning to sew purses with purse frames. I started about 2 weekends ago with plastic frames I bought from Golden Dragon, an experiment I made for my sister-in-law’s birthday present. It turned out not too bad. I had made one for myself too and [...]
Lavender for Pynk
This lavender knitted Isabeau Bag is for Pynk! This is significantly larger than the little purse I did 2 months ago so I am a little surprised I managed to complete it in 2 weeks.The reason for the rush to complete this is because this is also meant to be a belated birthday present for [...]
Crochet Motif Bag
It’s DONE and I am so glad it’s completed… This was another test-of-patience-project and required a lot of streaming TV to go along with it. I think I completed Band of Brothers, L Word (Season 1-5) and a little of Big Love. It has taken over a month to complete because it was on hold [...]
The uexpected prize and the unexpected iPod cosie
I won something for my first ever knitting project. Most unbelievable and really unexpected. I submitted some pictures of my Isabeau Purse to Sylvie of Chez Plum to show her my appreciation for sharing her darling pattern without realising that there was a contest. So it was really surprising to receive an email from her [...]
Knitting and streaming TV
Pin’s scarf is complete! This is a really soft and comfy scarf and I hope it’ll keep Pin warm and happy on her trip to very cold winter Berlin next week. This took me a little over 2 weeks to complete, usually have less time during the week to knit so majority of the knitting [...]
Work-In-Progresses
I am knitting and crocheting and trying to stretch my attention span at the same time. It’s not easy. I first started a project to make a great looking bag made of crocheted motifs. It’s pattern I got from a Japanese crochet pattern book and the yarn I am using is Nikkelon S Egypt Super. [...]
Mopsie – My First Amigurumi Bunny
Presenting Mopsie (named upon sight by Charlie) my first Amigurimi (編み包み) Bunny! This was made from the a free crochet pattern on the Lion Brand. My first ever crochet project. It took me about 4-5 days to complete this. I haven’t yet seen Lion Brand yarn in Singapore so I got 12-ply wool from Spotlight. [...]
New Year New Experiments
Happy New Year to everyone!! It’s a new year and there are new experiments to be made!! I haven’t been blogging for some time now and as much as I love to bake I think I need something new to experiment with. Given my short attention span and impulsive charm I think I might have [...]
