This has to be the best of the cool shoulder bags so far. I just love it. The color and the motif carry such story. I would imagine an English lady exploring our tropical jungle. Much like Jane in Tarzan but no. More like Julia Roberts, although she's American, but the like of her .. maybe Julie Andrews.
The print shows three species of Heliconia. I only recognize one, the false bird-of-paradise, at lower right. The center red piece I think is a small plant. The one of the left although it looks like orchid the leaves shows that it is not. I grow a few species of Heliconia. One is the lobster claw.

Cool Shades Pouch
What a cool project this turned out to be. Originally a request by a beautiful young lady, who had dropped by Choqlat at Plaza Gambut, Kuantan, with her cute friend, I've searched the internet for good design and tutorial for tie pouch for sunglassess. Found this one and before you know it I've made a couple of these.
The batik fabrics used are remnants from past projects; used for both the outer piece as well as the inner peace. So the pouch is well lined and snugly tied at the open end. Here for the ties I use round elastic ties. Sunglasses fits well inside one of these.

Just Do It
We, my daughter and I, got some fabulous new fabrics today for cool shoulder bag. This one in particular when finished she said would pass for Nike Cool Shoulder Bag. Wouldn't that be cool if Nike endorsed this bag.
Fabulous green with soft fern prints would be gorgeous for sporty event. Matched with dark plain green I'd be happy to make a few more of this.

"Like a Cheetah" Print Batik Cool Shoulder Bag
Winter In Russia Cool Shoulder Bag
Still have a few back orders to finish but just don't have the time to start on them yet. And just when I wanted to start sewing, the machine has to have some problems. So, it's just back from the shop.
After RM70, today I've completed a few cool shoulder bag and some half moon bag. The fabrics have been pre-cut at hanging on my working chair for quite some time, so here some the pics. And of course, these are available for grabs.

Simple Gift - Batik Tissue Packet
I love to give gifts especially to those whom I rarely get a chance to meet ~ old friends, distance relatives, ex-colleagues ~ or even to office mates and function guests. I used to give out these lovely tissue packets to family members during our family gathering. Now I would like to extend the token to my beloved customers as well. So I've taken a step up in the packaging for it to be more presentable to my corporate customer. Each tissue packet is seal wrapped and adorned with silver metallic sticker bearing my name and Sulam Sayang.
You can customer these simple batik tissue packets as your thank you gift personalized with your thank you message on the silver metallic stickers as well. Call us for your quantity order today.

Batik Chocolate Box
Conceptualizing a chocolate box out of batik.
This is the outcome of my first try at materializing the sewing crafted chocolate box. So the box is just a simple rectangular box with flip lid. It is fitted with a four by two chocolate tray. So it fits eight pralines or truffles just nicely.
Here the chocolate model is the flat round dark peppermint filled chocolate I did for Hazem's 16th birthday. A nice thank you satin ribbon for added embellishment.
Will followup with a nicer box. But if you want to followup with my delicious dark chocolate with peppermint creme, text me at 0199846026. We deliver nationwide.
Thank you.
