MY NEW PLEATED BAG

In bag making mood..........

I want to sew something different not the usual plain tote.

So I cut the remnant curtain material Rosni gave me into 8 strips

measuring 24" X 4".

Sew all the strips, fold and sew the right and left sides.

Each strip is pleated...except for the extreme left and right.

Two inner pockets....can you imagine bags without pockets....

Pleating gives the bag 'shape' and 'body'

Next move is to attach a bow

hmm...what color is suitable?

Any suggestion... :)

GO GREEN..GREEN IS GOOD

Not in material..fabric...thread...But FOOD!

your diet!

..and of course the red and yellow and the 'sambal belacan' :)

We have such an abundance of green that can be eaten RAW.

Eating raw is very good for the body, no minerals or vitamins will be lost

due to over cooking.

KEEP YOUNG AND HEALTHY

EAT GREEN

EAT RAW

:))

(pssst..our grandma and great grandma knew about this)

SLING BAG AND POUCHES

My fractured left hand is getting better Alhamdulillah..and the urge to sew something crafty comes back. Before the incident Rosni of Nykolett gave me a stack of beautiful curtain remnants. So I picked 3 pieces of the material and sewed the above..a sling bag with gathered outer pocket and 2 pouches for my daughters.

Thank you Rosni :)

TEACHERS' DAY

Mr PS Rou my former physics teacher in 1974.

On May 8 2011, more than 30 ex students of Sultan Badlishah School, Kulim

had a reunion with our physics teacher Mr Rou, venue The Royal Selangor Club.

Those days, the name Mr Rou would make every student shivered and this is

no exaggeration. With his bearded face and red eyes nobody dared to make a noise

in his class. The 40 minutes period seemed like an hour.

After 37 years he is a changed man, smiling as he greeted us that day.

He lives in Hydrebad, India and spends his time doing charity works.

Each of us gave a speech in tribute of Mr Rou.

Mr Rou left, greeting Tan Sri Kamaruzaman former mayor of KL Tan Sri was one of

his earliest students.

BREAKING THE MONOTONY ...

Been a while since the last time I went blog walking..3 to 4 months perhaps. Today I randomly visited a few blogs and realized how much I miss crafting.

A few days ago while cleaning up the storeroom I found materials which can be turned into bags, purses, coasters etc. Some polyester material which I bought years ago were also hidden in a box..these I want to sew into simple blouses to wear at home.

So...it is high time to break the monotony!
