When I'm bored

These are pouches I made based on Japanese craft book. Since I didn't have linen fabric I used cotswool instead. Cotswool is nice to sew, esp. hand stitching. It's been a lot of fun doing these pouches:

I made these hexagon flowers sometime back and I didn't know what to do, so I made this pouch. Using the Japanese method, I hand sewn the zipper. It looks so "handmade" (u know what I mean..^_* )

I got several Japanese craft book, the crafts look so cute but it  really takes a lot of patience to do, since most of it are using hand stitch method, which I must admit is not very much my favourite -__-". But it's a good stress buster when I'm bored ^_*

Until then,

Give me some sunshine

"Give me some sunshine

Give me some rains

Give me another chance 

I wanna grow up once again"

(Can't stop  humming this song from Amir Khan's 3 Idiots....)

This what I completed yesterday. I used smaller size hexies (1") and did the simple butterfly embroidery there. This one is so cheerful with lime green and yellow combination. Inside I put white cotton with pastel color polka dots. yeah..It's yummy pouch..:D

(detail pictures are in my FLICKR)

I still wanna do a few more small patchwork/hexies project but I got some packing to do....wohoooo...I'm going to my home country for holiday...Yay!!..

OK, time to do a serious packing now...I hope I made enough for my friends back home...^^

have a great crafty weekend everyone...
