I’ve made a few fabric trays out of burlap from Reverse Garbage and fabrics that I got from Sham Shui Po.

And some other crafty creations:)

Snail Wrist Pincushion (Felting) tutorial

Snail Wrist Pincushion (Felting) tutorial

I am not an organise person, in terms of “stuff”, and especially dangerous when I sew, pins are everywhere!!! Mainly ‘cos I only have one pincushion, and I kinda need it in several locations at the same time!!

So I thought it’s time for a wearable pincushion – the first person who came up with this idea is a genius!

Cookie Ken’s Birthday (Present)!!

Yesterday was my boyfriend’s birthday!!

Remember the secret project that I mentioned before, I was referring to his birthday present:D It wasn’t a big project because I’ve been too busy>< But I still wanted to make him something…

So this is what I’ve made – a passport case – which holds 3 passports!!!!

Patchwork Japanese craft book

Today I wanna show you this second hand Japanese craft book that I got recently from Japan Yahoo! Auction through a friend living in Japan.

I never had the chance to look at the content of the book before I made the purchase because this book is actually out of print at the moment, but the title really caught my attention so I decided to buy it!

I worked until 3am last night making this passport cover to enter the Scrap Buster Contest over at Sew, Mama Sew! *v*/

This passport cover is not like the normal journal or paperback cover, it’s more like a passport carry case and you can fit two passports in it. It also has slots for things like driver licence, mileage cards… etc. I think it would be very useful for traveling :D

Pretty journal cover

Pretty journal cover

I’ve just completed another sewing project and I’m particularly proud of this one*v* I think it turned out really nice! I’ve made a journal cover to fit an A5 art diary – most art diaries are just plain ordinary.

The design is from one of the Japanese craft books that I bought last weekend. Instructions in the book are for paperback novels, so I had to alter the measurements to fit my A5 art diary.
