2024 Best of Five

I did not write much on the blog last year but I still want to join Cheryl at Meadow Mist Design for annual Best of Five Link Party. 

When I checked my blog stats, surprisingly the most viewed post was from 2010 about Tutorial making flowing skirt! Those were the days when  I used to make clothes. I keep thinking to start sewing clothes again at least for myself and even bought a couple of patterns. Insha Allah, I will start . 

Without further a do, here's the top 5 blog post from 2024

1. Scrappy Quilt

Frankly this is also my fave. The quilt is now being used everyday, it's perfect for our mild winter weather. Hopefully I can finish one or two big quilts in 2025 

2. Video Tutorial Making Scrappy Mini Pouch

This mini pouches are so much fun to make! The perfect project to boost your sewing mojo! 

3. More Tulip Wallets

This cute tulip wallet is my latest pattern. It's super easy to sew especially for beginners and it comes with video tutorial too. What's more? you can use left over fabrics to create fun one of a kind wallet! 

4. Patchwork Wallet with Keyring

Another personal favorite projects! These patchwork Rosie Wallets are one of the best sellers in the shop. Hopefully I can make more patchwork wallets and bags this year! 

5. Multi Zippered Bag Video Tutorial

I love this multi zippered bag as they are very versatile. Use it as make up bag, passports bag, or even pencil bag! I always carry one when I travel to keep my digital camera and other small essential items. You can get the pattern HERE. 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, reading, and leaving comments. It really means a lot to me. Here's to more fun adventures with fabrics, esp those overwhelming scraps!! May 2025 bring you joy and prosperity! 

Happy Sewing!

Block Print Quilted Pouches

Pink Quilted Zipper Pouch

I really love Indian floral patterns, especially paisley! I have a few yards of paisley fabric in my fabric shop that I'm saving for future projects, like this zipper pouch. Just like fashion, Indian fabrics follow trends. I had only a fat quarter of this baby pink paisley left, so I decided to make something quick and easy.

When working with soft cotton fabric, I usually add interfacing, either lightweight non-woven interfacing or all-purpose woven interfacing to give it more structure. And then I added batting and quilted it. I quilted it straight line about 1/4 inch apart. The result is spacious and soft zipper pouch. The size is just perfect to keep in your bag. They are really a multi-purpose pouch, you can use it as a pencil case, glass case, makeup bag or even as a simple zipper wallet.

Here are more pouches I made from block print fabrics. The coin pouches with keychains are my favourite to make, and they also make great gifts. My sister picked up a few to gift to her colleagues and they loved it.

Block print coin purses 

I have a video tutorial in HERE showing you how to make these coin pouches from start to finish. This is a scrap-buster-friendly project since you literally only need a little bit of fabric. And if you don't sew and looking for a sustainable yet affordable gift, these quilted pouches are available in my ETSY SHOP and WEBSHOP. 

That's all for today. Thank you for stopping by!

Have a nice day :)
