December Finishes #01 : Crocheted Pencil Cases

Hi everyone!

 

It has been a while I share my finishes at my blog.  Today I am showing you my recent finished project which are crocheted pencil cases.  The first one is meant to be for a girl. I used pink and yellow color.

 

 

The second one I used blue and white...which meant to be for boys

 

 

Both pencil cases are using the same checker pattern.  Below are both pencil cases after I add the zipper puller.

 

 

I love the girl set with flower and butterfly zipper puller which just make it perfect.

Happy Crocheting!

January Finished #01 : Pouches

Hello  everyone!!

I finished sewing these pouches for my daughters....both fabric were cut together with other pouches which I finished in December 2012.    These two are leftover from that project.  My 9 years old daughter used it as a pencil case  for her afternoon class....the finished size is 4" x 6.5"

and this is another one for my  6 years old daughter. She used it as her pencil case too.   The finished size of the pouch is 5" x 6.5".  It comes with a pocket at  the outside 

and this is how the inside looks like. She request it big so that her calculator can fit in...

and this is another set ...a request by her friend ...and she wants exactly like hers... using the smiley fabric.  

To differentiate between the two, I made a zipper puller from the smiley face for her friend...

and used different fabric for the lining.

These are all my first finished for January 2013...  I'm linking to January Finishes linky party over at

Happy Sewing!

Pencil case continues...

I just want to share the photo of yesterday pencil case that I've sewn for my son...this is from the inside view.

Pencil case

Latest project completed yesterday night...a pencil case for my son, Adam and with his name on it.  I love sewing small items such as pencil cases, coin purses and tissue holders since it take less than an hour to complete it.  Being a working mother without having a maid to help with the house chores, it's really tiring sometimes. BUT I enjoy doing all these crafts...sewing, and crocheting.

Sewing

It has been quite sometime I do crocheting...since I was so busy sewing bags and stuff for sale at the Carnival at my area.  The carnival just took place last Saturday and Sunday(29th-30th May).  Among the sewing stuffs that were on display for sale on that day aside from bags were pin cushions, zipper pencil case, makeup kit and coin purses.

This is the handmade banner that I've made with the help of my children.  I used this banner to promote my craft  stall/corner at the carnival.

Sling Bags/Tote bags

Coin purses - my first few purses that I've made...not very perfect but OK la...

Pin cushions

I still continue with my sewing since there are few fabric that I've cut but not manage to complete on time. And in between I also do crocheting since I've received orders for the baby beanie and I need to complete it by tomorrow...as being promised.
