Upcycling jeans!

I made some up-cycling with a pair of my old jeans.I made this bag,and a pair of jeans for the little miss.

 I used Velcro to close it.d black on hand,but i don't think i can stand that,but i will wait till i get to go out to get some white Velcro.myself fights with myself,one half of me needs instant gratification,the other is a perfectionist,who would gladly take all the time as required.Poor self.

See,I even stitched on it my very own personalized label.Love it! :D
I will get to how i made that later..but here is the basic tutorial!
And notice the pencil in the pocket?Aaaah its so chic that i can hardly handle it.

 It's fully lined with a some floral cotton.I love the contrast.the looong handle is upside denim and the other side floral cotton, the liner fabric.

 The stitching is quite wobbly as i couldn't help being hasty.As i said, some times, i need results,and i need them fast.

 See the pretty flower?
My hubby says i can't help it if i wanted to.There has to be a flower.
I even wanted to iron on some jewels.My brothers and my hubby liked it this way,no LOVED it this way, so my bling has to wait a bit on the sidelines.for now.

And this,would be a sneak peek of Noora's jeans.it's adorable!
I should get some action shots of the adorable diaper bum in it.

So how do you like my very first bag? :)

Things that are inspiring me today.

I'm on a embroidery high these days.
literally. :)

Ummu Noora

I sleep when Noora wants me to, I work as she wants me to, I live and breathe mostly as she allows me to, so I don't think I belong to myself anymore.

So i might as well just admit it.

Proudly. :)

why cant more people T.H.I.N.K?

 because life,is too short for that.

New Yellow Blouse

that's the dress i made last night.i made a pattern and made this as a sample to see if the pattern works.And guess what,it did.

It was another good sewing session.the whole thing was completed within 45 minutes from start to finish,drafting the pattern,cutting and sewing.the stitching had to wait due to a toddler clinging on my legs.i couldn't sleep after everyone was tucked in,so i finished it. :) i love hanging out hanging out by myself and my stitching or other crafty crafty when everyone is gone to sleep.pure bliss.

Don't mind the scribbled background.(that was the best place i could get some decent light from.The wall outside my kitchen.The kids next door like drawing there.me,not so much.)

The trim is the same as i used on this one.I've got lots and lots of yards of this same trim,good thing i don't seem to get tired of it.

The little flower bunch is embroidered.I am still having doubts about the color.it doesn't look too bad does it?

I'm in a very sewy mood these days.Here is to making a lot more dresses while i am feeling like so.

this time im back.for sure.i think.

hahhhhh its been long.its been hectic around here.

i think I'm going to get back to blogging once again,and hope to post more often!

lets forget how much I've neglected my blog for a minute there,shall we?

no?

OK then lets see if some eye candy can bribe you. show you something hoping you will forgive me once you are too overwhelmed with how beautiful it is!deal? :D

my shiny braided bread.glorious it was.

I made Dana's braided bread a few nights ago.It came out really great,the texture super nice and it so happened to be the best Ive made yet.It was easy to slice,no crumbling,and it kept well without refrigeration for three days.

i wish i worked better on my photos.

tsk,what a pity.

it was late,two thirty in the morning,so its just this shot and an identical one to this,that i managed.sorry.

You should try this bread.but remember to make two it two loaves.or they will grow too huge and get almost stuck to the roof of your oven like mine almost did.ahem.

on other tones,i made a sample beaded flower.i cant remember for the life of me where i saw the tutorial from.so i cannot give credit where its due. :o( i've been searching far and wide for days,to no avail..please point it out to me if anyone knows! :o))

Beaded flower

i made a lot of dresses for my baby girl while i was busy not blogging.lets see how long it takes for me upload ONE, atleast! :)

Anyone has tips about toddler tantrums?Noora has become an expert.and i seem to be following her.and i seriously need help.poor husband.

i cannot focus on one thing for very long these days.

*snap*

gather some ideas while im away,alright?

let me be back in a while.

this time,im back for sure.

i think.

toodles! :o)
