Fabric Grocery Bag

Love this bag.

Pattern copied from the widely used supermarket plastic bag, this bag is made totally from 100% cotton fabric. The outside fabric is our lovely batik fabric from Terengganu.

I love this bag as it is very functional. Imagine if you were take a hot pot to a potluck party ... in goes the hot plastic container or our Pyrex casserole into the bag. No worries about handling the hot containers and you would look gorgeous carrying the hot pot in this bag.

Personally, I would like to make one for each of my Pyrex containers so when I go out for picnics or luncheon get together, I'd be happy and ready to transfer my favourite dishes in this lovely Fabric Grocery Bag!

Batik Clutch Purse With Gold Pin Closure

This batik clutch purse is ordered by Aishah. The idea is to promote batik fabric into the fashion industry. This batik is from a piece of our Terengganu Batik. The clutch purse is made from reference to Amy Butler's handheld purse.

The feminine shape of Amy Butler's handheld purse is accentuated by a sparkly, antique gold pin at the closure available at Sulam Sayang E-Store.

Cool Mangosteen Fun Mini Shoulder Bag

This is a mini version of my Cool Shoulder Bag. This one is in Cool Mangosteen Fun color! The first of this mini bags I did was with the orange cheetah print. It was given away to Edina! This rich purple color bag is electrifying. I have had it tested time after time during my, as I said earlier busy month of December, and it has provided superb service for holding all my toiletries together. Believe me, you gotta have one. Call, sms, chat, email, comment me now!!

My Tangering Cheetah Bag

Well I finally completed my tangerine cheetah print coool shoulder bag! This time I had to improvise a little bit to accentuate the look - I've added a large press button at the sides so the bags has more rounded edge and look to it. Of Course, with the button undo, the bag is flat and square as Sponge Bob Square Pants!! (and no I did not get inspired by him!!).

Did I mention that the bag is totally reversible?! Well yes, flip it inside out and you have a more rugged looking plain asparagus green (that's thinking of Zynga's FarmVille) bag with a pocket at the side. Now even Ikram (that's my nephew) would want to use this bag for his green shopping at Carrefour!




Still not enticed to own one? More coming and will make you drool like mad.

My Sewing Machine

This machine has given me some problems with it's performance but some of it is due to my ignorance. Some of the tension control problems I'm always saying to the technician at the repair shop is actually from my own wrong doing - I always had my top loading bobbin the wrong side in!! Ddaa.

My Mom's Sewing Machine

December had been a busy month. Well actually the roller coaster started with Raya Haji. Well prior to that we started the stretch of travellings and entertaining by having to pick up Kak Long in Segamat following her semester break. Perks of the trip .. durian Segamat!

Then balik kampung for the Raya Korban .. a week! The rituals of korban as usual was done by our traditional family gotong royong followed by an afternoon barbecue. Nice. On our return we had our nephew staying over. Did I mentioned it rained most of the time. Yep even my sis-in-law's house had a share of the flood in her area.

Na's visit was fun.. karaoke! Then another nephew came. Then we're off to KL. An agonising week, Kak Yah went thru a head operation. Alhamdullilliah she's recovering well. KL was fun to .. bowling, waiting in the hospital, biz meetings, family get together. Best of all I had the opportunity to bring my late mom's (Al-Fatihah) sewing machine to Kuantan. Thankyou to Abang Rashid and thank you to Jiha.

We had Nyah and Co and Hana and geng over. So we had another round of fun ... jamming, karaoke, BBQ, Yong Tau Fu buffet, durian.

Then we had to send Kak Long off again to school. She cried so it was quite a sad moment for all of us.

Now, again, it's just me and the boys.

Thankfully I have my sewing machine and I have my mom's sewing machine!!!

Cool.

Sulam Sayang n Stitchers

Wah.. just attended a much anticipated event, the birthday party for Tunku Ahmad Ismail and Tunku Afzan 9 year old twins of Tengku Mahkota Pahang and Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, Tengku Puan Pahang.

I was invited as Tengku Puan wishes to meet with members of Stitchers, a club which Tengku Puan herself founded. As the name indicates, Stitchers is a club for enthusiasts of cross stitching. Naturally Sulam Sayang signs in for membership.

Sulam Sayang hopes to share more activities with Tengku Puan and Stitchers in the future.

Shoulder Bag

Hi everyone! I'm so excited with my latest finished project - a shoulder bag!!

Well it's a tote bag - one you can carry a lot of stuffs in it. Like I have keys, phone, purse, coin purse, lipstick, thumb drive, nail clipper, medicine, note book, pens and others I carry around in my bag. And I thought well to include a laptop I need to have a bigger bag. So I started on this project.

Initially I started to work on a red checked bag designed big enough for a laptop. It started well with suggested how-to by Edina with a book reference magazine. But then I stopped midway as my machine had some problems. So into a shoe box went all the materials.

Then this idea came to mind.

I chose a cheetah printed cotton fabric for the bag. For a good finishing, the bag is fully lined with plain black cotton fabric. So it's pretty sturdy to carry books or groceries or stuffs. I plan on offering this bag to others for RM30. Add another RM10 to RM20 if you want it beaded for extra bling-bling.

Can't wait to start on another one with a lighter yellow cheetah print color. Order yours now!!

Magenta and Lilac

Ok. Lama tak create post. This time, again, bead work on baju Na. Again, vibrant floral motif - minat sungguh Na dengan motif ini. Yang lain nya this time is the same floral motif is repeated kat lower body line.

This time also I switched from using pearl beads to rice beads. The triangular shape centers the vibrant floral with darker glass beads as the insides. Triangular vibrant floral buds are then stitched in between the larger vibrant floral motif. Very satisfying. Love the lilac and magenta colour tones.


For your information, magenta is also referred to as fuchsia. Fuchsia is from the electrifying pink tone. Lilac is from the purple tones. On this work the spikes for the vibrant floral motif is in two colors, magenta and dark purple. While the inside triangle made with rice bead is in dark magenta with dark lilac glass bead as the center bead.

Sulam Sayang is now on Facebook if you haven't realized yet. And so is Sulam Sayang E-Shop. Become fans of both and enjoy networking with those that love embroidery.


Happy beading and happy blogging!!
