Hijau Menawan

Baju ni potongan kurung moden. Describe sikit baju ni - leher teluk belanga, no tulang belut just piping, lengannya lurus separuh dan kembang berjerut separuh, tiada kekek yang berasingan tapi bercantum dengan pesak yang dipotong agak ramping di pinggang.



Beadingnya di sekeliling leher depan dan dilanjutkan ke paras bawah dada. Disamping itu, ade beading jugak di bahagian bawah depan. Beading ni agak sarat kerana motif zig-zag di jahit dua lapis, hijau dan biru. Di dalam jahitan lurus zig-zag saya tambah labuci biru di ikat manik coklat. bronze.

Bullion Rose on Buttons

When I put on this shirt this morning I didn't know it's going to end up with bullion roses on it's button. I just had the urge to try the bullion rose bud on a button. From Zue's book A-Z of Bullion which she ordered through Sulam Sayang Amazon Store, I found out how the stitch works with button. Definitely different when working with flat fabric. Even so, there are many ways I found how stitchers hold their fabric, thread and needle to work with bullions. However it is, the finishing gotta be good. Here I used ten rounds of turns for the bud and eight for the leaves. The bud can either be a double or triple bullions. I tested with both. Sweet.
