Basic Chain with Sequin Padding

Looks like pattern basic chain with sequin padding ni telah menarik minat ramai peminat-peminat sulaman manik! Kali ini sequin yang saya gunakan adalah yang size kecil sekali. Jadi sequin padding di jahit pada setiap basic chain. Wah! Of course warnanye adalah warna yang sedondon dengan kain. Kali ini saya pilih warna highlight pada fabric. Bunga pada fabric adalah besar-besar and ada splash in red! So I choose red as my main color on the chains. Disamping itu warna oren dan coklat mendampinginya untuk ia kelihatan lebih interesting. Hasilnya? Tentulah cantik!!

Lihat pattern yang sama dengan tona warna yang berlainan di post-post yang sebelum ini - Baju Kak Long, I did it again, Baju kurung lovers - recommended edging.

Vibrant Red Florals




These vibrant red florals just burst out from the fabric. The concentric pattern contrasts well with the swirling lines batik design on the silk. The flowers actually have orange tips and medium size pearls. This is a funkier version of Soft White-n-Blue Floral.

Check out how I used my new small spring loop to work with this kurung sleeve edge bead embroidery at Sulam Sayang DIY.

Soothing Blue

Selamat tahun baru 2009!

Wah, lama tak pegang jarum dan menaip kat sini.

So today I'm posting Kak Ani's blouse which she wanted a simple bead lining at sleeves and collar. We liked the combo mix of the deep blue glass beads and the tiny baby blue pearls. (Had to let the floral sequins go Kak Ani as I didn't like the tone, sorry.)

Ni orang kata is "jalinan kasih" ye? Anyway, its your basic stem stitch with alternating beads and pearls. Sweet. Although I would like to add a dash of almond green to go with the fabric. Alas. Can't find the color.

Lembut dan menawan rupenye yek? Kalau pakai tidur ni mesti lena dan mimpi yang indah.

BTW, I'm working on a lot of fantastic projects for my niece, Na. No new designs but watch out for some fantastic colors. See you soon!!
