Felt Tissue Box Cover

Plenty of tissue box cover orders lately. It started when I made one for myself, a simple felt turquoise tissue box cover. I measured the real tissue box and turn it into a pattern. I will upload the pattern later, in case you want to make yours yourself. Just haven't find the right time yet to sketch it - in softcopy of course :-(


The rest of the tissue box cover, scroll the mouse:

Lovebirds

Blue flowers

Spread the cover and it will look like this!

Seems like I am not the only one who loves turquoise!

The inside out

Ready for shipping!

That's all for now. Love doing it, making my hands numb stitching them :-)

Rilakkuma Felt Pouch

I never heard of Rilakkuma before. So I googled about it and apparently there's a lot who love this little cute bear, including my cousin - well, of course most of them are girls. She wants Rilakkuma to be on her pouch, and thus the results:

With name at the back of her pouches:

The material used is felt, all the appliques and zips were hand-sewn except the pouch itself, machined.


Rilakkuma, yeay!!

Felt Pouch

These pictures have been in my folder for quite a long time - three months old. Totally forgotten to post them here. My apology. 
This is a pouch specially made for my niece. With dimensions of 5"x9", I added a butterfly applique and some flower buttons to complete the style. And at the back of the pouch, I stitched her name on it.

The name

The zip

Big enough to store stationery, cosmetics etc.

Meanwhile, the below pouch is made for my sister, with spider web as her pattern of choice. The little bug is apparently attracted to the web :-)

I've been excitedly exploring the new Picasa, hence the pencil sketch view:

Nice!! I like..

Soft Toy: MiMoo the Lembu

It is a cow this time. Took me 4 days to finish this masterpiece - well, it include the daily house chores of course. Its name is MiMoo and she is made from polyester felt, stuffed with polyester fiber and 100% handsewn with love. I put some interesting features for MiMoo:

The size - easy to hug and cuddle

Shaggy tail

Milk bag

Curly eyelashes

 A customer bought MiMoo together with this soft remote.

Soft Cover for a Blank, Dull File

It is a special request from my sister. She wanted a cover for her note book a.k.a a clear holder file. The motive of love is her choice and I make it happen. I used pink background as the base to contrast with the red love motive, along with some green and blue curly stitching surrounding the motive. It is somehow bring a message that the love is spreading to its environment - well, at least something like that. :-)

The inside

Simple and nice

It is time to show off!

iPod Case for Balqis

This is not for Balqis, daughter of mine. This iPod case is for the other Balqis, my husband's friend's daughter. Can you get it? 

I used navy blue felt as the base and turquoise felt for her name (how I love turquoise!), and turquoise wool yarn for the stitching. A cute car applique is sewn at the back of the case.

 

For the inside, I used matching blue polka-dot as the inner lining with soft padding in between for extra protection against the screen.

 

Sorry for the picture quality. I snapped them at night before I went to sleep! :-)

Soft Toy: Vegetables

This vegetables version of my handmade soft toy is ideal for toddlers especially girls who are like to messy up your kitchen cabinet, taking out all the tupperwares and tools, and pretend to cook. My daughter did. 


This is the first version, I sew it for my daughter. It looked a bit amateur to me, not as neat as I expected to be. It consists of 10 veges that we always eat everyday: a carrot, radish, chilly, mushroom, yellow pepper, sweet pea, potato, tomato, cabbage and an egg plant. See here for my first attempt of vege soft toy.

Don't underestimate me yet! I've done better the second time! It was for my friend's daughter. This time, I added volume to those veges, meaning more fluffy and larger veges. Believe me, try to compare the space left between the veges at the above pic and this one (inside the same pot): 

There are still 10 vegetables but I replaced yellow pepper with Japanese cucumber, and upgrade the look of my cabbage.

More neat than my first attempt, don't they?
