Mieda's bag - 2

I make another version of Mieda's bag. It's a bit small than this. This time I'm not using leather handle. Since I have the smallest version I treat this as my handbag. I received a few of compliment from my family and my sister. They say it's look like made from padini since it using khakis fabric. It awesome rite? My sister and sister-in-law had place an order also. And they request by using leather handle. And also I will have to make another one for my mom since she also had request one.

Not much to say since my schedule was so tight. I had to priorities my work first. I only had manage to take one picture only and enjoy.

Mieda's wrist pouch..

Women will never be separated with accessories. They loved so much accessories like I do. hehe..If we talked about the things women like, it will be no end since there is so much thing they love. It happens to me also but not everything we can have it.

I still remembered before I get married I never have handbag since I prefer wallet. But after I get married it changed, I start to love all those accessories. But I never have change to buy the expensive bag since I prefer the reasonable price as long you comfortable to wear it. If I have more money I will think of it but right now I prefer to have more saving than more handbag.

Last entry I share with you guys my latest creation. And today I have new one.
In order to match with my new bag so called Mieda's bag, I created this wrist pouch by using the same fabric. And again it turn so nicely and adore it so much. Now I have handbag and match with my wallet. It's third time I change my wrist pouch and some of my friend notice it. Since I can make it why not I change it frequently rite.








this one specially use in the office only for some reason. hehe..

I have another story, I'm a bit disappointing with one shop at Kulim. Previously I do buy my home sewing machine at same the shop. And last week I wanna to but walking and quilt foot that suit with my NV-30 brothers. But I'm a bit shocked with the price. The price was double than the original price. I do checked the price before with brother headquarters and they giving different price. For walking foot it's only RM80 but that shop sell for RM120 and also for quilting foot was originally RM31 but that shop sell for RM120. Did you see the huge differences? And then I requested with them the dealer shop at Kulim and maybe I will go there and survey how much they sell since the price was so unreasonable. Did anyone have buy any brother footer before? can you all share the price?

Mieda's bag...

Like I promise last time there is new project I will share with you guys. I make my own bag which is I adore it. It turn so nicely and so so awesome. I didn't put any stabilizer so I have to hang it to get nice view of picture. The size of bag approximately 17 " X 17". It's too big? Yes but it just nicely fit with my laptop. I receive a big laptop from my company due to we work on design team so we need to have big screen. But I'm happy. I love this bag so much.

Let me describe the detail of the bag. Outer fabric I'm using cotton drill/twill which is I found it when I go shopping at Kamdar Bukit Mertajam. Actually this cotton drill/twill is simillar like khakis fabric. For inner fabric I'm using cotton linen which is I buy online from MayMayShop. Also the leather handle I buy from MayMay too.

When I'm wear this bag, my friend will not believe it if I make it by my own. She think I buy it. Believe it or not? You should believe it that I sew this bag. I didn't buy it and it's a custom made specially made for me..hahaha.. I plan to make another smaller one. But the size should be fitted to bring my telekung also since I only have small handbag in my collection. So enjoy the picture.

Outer view. I named it as mieda's bag

inside view but I turn it so easily can capture all.

Note: Sewing activity, sekarang I tengah menjahit baju kurta suami dengan berkolar yang mana I cuba elakkan untuk menjahit baju yang berkolar. For me a bit difficult when it come to kolar sewing. Selalunya mesti x menjadi, senget la, tak tegak and lembik and besar sangat la and mcm mcm lagi. But per husband request so nak tak nak I kena buat jugak. Later I will share with you guys if the kolar turn nicely or badly k. Hopefully it will turn nicely.

1st April 2011

Dah masuk hari ke-empat. selsema and batuk masih tak hilang lagi. Alhamdulillah demam dah kebah. Tapi dalam x sihat ni aktiviti menjahit masih I teruskan. Hari rabu lepas dapat MC tapi masih lagi nak menjahit. haha..cuma petang tu lepas solat zuhur, tido dalam 3 atau 4 jam kesan ubat batuk and selsema.

Hari ini sudah masuk bulan 4 dan agak-agak ada ke yang terkena "April Fool" hari ni? Di ofis macam sunyi sepi mungkin masing-masing sibuk dengan keje yang entah bila akan siap. hahaha..

Minggu lepas I ada beli e-book sulaman reben dari suzana mustafa. Dan suka sangat bila dah dapat cd tu. kena cepat2 buat ni. Yang membuatkan I excited sebab I memang dah lama teringin nak buat sulaman bunga ros yang ada kelopak tu. Cantik sangat. Harap2 dapat buat dalam tahun ni jugak. huhuhu..

Both my sister and my mom dah awal2 booked untuk jahit baju raya. Perancangan awal gitu. Sebab derang tahu I jahit baju derang lambat sebab I utamakan pelanggan dulu. So derang2 pun dah booked awal2. Walaupun raya bulan 8 tapi kami dah sibuk cari kain dalam bulan 2 lagi tu dengan kain yang sama. hahaha..Macam tahun lepas, lagi seminggu nak raya barula I kelam kabut siapkan baju mereka. Harap-harap tahun ni dapat siapkan baju mereka awal. Minta maaf la adik-adik ku.

Sebenarnya banyak wish list yang I teringin nak buat. harap2 la I dapat capai semua tu dalam tahun ni sebab macam tahun lepas banyak yang tertangguh. Tapi I bole agak dalam bulan 6 I mesti dah start sibuk dengan kerja2 ofis sebab projek tengah peak waktu tu. waa...harap la I masih bole dapat amik cuti raya seminggu. I teringin sangat nak cuba buat quilt tapi entah bila la bole dapat buat. kain dah ada cuma masa je yang takde lagi. huhu..

I have 6 days comp leave but I don't have any plan yet. Plan macam nak travel tapi tak tahu kat mana nak pegi. Rasa nak travel area malaysia je xnak keluar negara. Ada idea tak? banyak tu 6 days, sayang plak kalo x guna sebab expired sampai dalam bulan 6 jek. Maybe some of might have some question how I get those comp leave, actually my company will give an extra leave for those who participated on certain project and they will give it by end of the project. The days of leave will depends on how long you in the that project. For me, I started by early of project so I get more days compare to other started late. And this extra leave will not deducted from your annual leave. So even you stress and work hard to accomplish the project by end of project you get some award and of course you will be happy rite. Like me I just bersyukur dengan apa yang Allah gave it to me. I will try not complain since everything He gave us, He know what the best. So we better thankful for all we have now.

I have new item to share with guys but not capture yet. stay tune...........

Jom Jahit Wallet by TiniHani

Since I'm not busy with my office work I started again blog walking. Sudah lama I tinggalkan since I was so busy previous. And last 2 days I'm reading TiniHani blog. She invited to do sew along for wallet. Interesting idea since I never try before. So I decided to give it try and here you go. Even I'm not felling well today but I had give a try to make it since I had dream to make this wallet before. But I'm still not satisfying for a few things:
1- jahitan masih tak kemas. perlu di perkemaskan lagi di masa akan datang
2- wallet a bit small. I can't even insert my card so I decided just use for putting money
3- teringin nak buat cantik secantiknya macam this walletKakAs
4- i have to use button since I don't have any magnetic button but I had order to MeiMei shop this morning. so the next wallet I will be using magnetic button. hehe..
5- forgot to put any strap so easy for me to bring to anywhere.


Tengok jahitan masih tak kemas and harus di perbaiki di masa akan datang. For the next wallet I will using magnetic button.




What do you guys think? Cantik ke? For me I still rasa masih tak cantik. hehe.. So guys sesape yang berminat nak join silakan but remember last date is 31 march. Selamat mencuba.

Bundle entry...

There is so much thing I want to share with you guys. The item today was done long time ago and I manage to share it today with you guys. The item such as table runner, cushion cover and Ribbon Embroidery. I'm proud with my self if when I looked back all these item is in my house plus it's made from my hand. It feel great. can you imagine? For those DIY lovers, I believe you guys will have same feeling like me.

Close up view. I plan to make new since I just buy e-book from Suzanna. Hopefully I will have time for that.

another pouch order

I receive another 4 order from my friend and also from my sister. My sister has plan to give something to her friend as a gift and she requested me to make the pouch since she got one from me as a gift. And also there is another one for my mom. If you still remember this post, actually my mom also has one but then she not around when the time I pass to my both sister. And during that time my auntie also there and she requested one, so I just gave it to her and make another one for my mom. She just came back from Jakarta last week and sorry Mak since you are the last one received this as a gift from me. Hopefully Mak will be happy.

horrayyy!!!! there is a cheque in front of my door

As usual bila I sampai umah after work, I akan buka post box and yesterday there is letter dengan cop URUSAN PADUKA BAGINDA. Wow, I'm expected maybe surat dari LHDN (Lembaga Hasil Dalam Neger) and yes it's true. Sebab tak sabar nak tengok isi kandungannya I terus open that letter before enter my home. And wallla ada cek rupanya. owh sangat la I suka. Alhamdulillah. Tahun ni I dapat cek dari LHDN lebih awal dari yang I sangkakan. Like last year I got it around June since I submit e-filling by end of April. But this year I submit it on 1 or 2 March 2011 if I'm not mistaken and yesterday I got the cek. So tips for tax payer, submit your e-filling by early of March so that you can get your cheque by end of march. :) And InsyaAllah by tomorrow cheque tu akan clear since I dah submit it this morning kat bank. Credit to LHDN since I can get the cek earlier than I expected. Thanks a lot. Even this year I have to pay tax more than last year (a bit sad) but then I'm happy when I receive the cheque.

What should I do with that money? I have a lot in my mind and what I can think of now, I want amy butler book. huhuhu...and also designer fabric (kumpul byk2 wat koleksi mcm zura ) and also buying cotton twill and also LCD TV and also laptop and etc. So many wish list but it just a dream since I can't afford to buy for all these thing. There is something more important than that. huhu..

Other than that, right now I'm counting day for my designer fabric reach my home which is I order from Zura too. I plan to make Baju Kurung. X sabar nak tunggu. Actually last 2 day I ada nampak cotton twill kat fabric.com and terasa macam nak beli and almost I minta tolong my office mate yang ada friend stay at US. At the same time I order fabric designer too. But after a day I had ask his help, I cancel it again since this month I'm buying too much fabric and it's over my budget. You can't help if you addict and fell in love with all these nice and beautiful fabric especially Amy Butler design. There is a lot of project in my mind when I see those beautiful fabric. This year I have to save a lot of money since I have a huge plan to spending with that money. hopefully it will become true. Amin.

Since I got the cheque yesterday, do you think I can buy those designer fabric? waaaa...still thinking..think..think..

Currently I a few of project just finish but then I still don't have time to capture all those picture. Maybe one day I will share it with you guys. Stay tune.....

Should I resign?

I just read this blog Okinokiyo which is I found it during my blog hop today. Yes I do love blog hop. It's interesting blog and kind of attracted my attention when she share on online business tips. Honestly I do love running online business too but then I don't have high confident to make it fully support since right now I do it as a part time. After a few minutes reading this article make me consider to resign and start running online business. But then after thinking it twice, my bad mind giving me a hundred bad reason. Waaa... I admit it that I do love by doing all sewing work compare with my current job. Even sometime I feel stress to complete the order but then the stress was so so different when I have to dealing with my boss to complete my tasks.

Okinokiyo has a good sharing. Do I have to start thinking to fully serious doing online business? Even now I have a few customer among my family and friends, one day I have to make hard decision by resign with my current position and start business since my husband waiting for me at KL. Waaa...it's hard decision.

What do you guys think, should I resign and seriously start online business. Or maybe can you share other blog which is they share on online business tips. Allah..Saya dalam dilema.

black oh black

Actually I plan to share this by last week but then I don't have enough to write something on my blog since I plan to travel to KL last weekend. I don't plan it, it just across my mind on thursday night when I look at my fabric. So I grab it and automatically my leg bring me to sewing machine table and I start to sew it and walla it turn so nicely.
