up date on the sew along

Hi,

I forced myself to sit and do something about the sew along bag.Ishh...it is so so hard.Finally I managed or succeeded in assembling all the body,lining and the base pieces.really,it sweated me totally. all crumpled..can you imagine it?I spent the whole afternoon trying to put them together and after I finally did it,I  spent another hour just admiring it...hi  hi  hi.honestly,mine is a total mess,it's nothing compared to the other ladies punya,well at least I tried my best..Well,to think that this is my first ever bag...never mind lah.

Seeing others completing theirs,I want  to end this torture too  [well it's a torture to me ]I admit I am not a good sewer....to this day, I only sewed sarong s ,made those easy peasy totes ,a little craft here and there and mend n mend.

Let us see my unfinished version.Yeay..I met with the dateline..ooff..

Can you see how stiff it is looking.I do not have the right batting,for the body I used  a thin fusible batting [ the one I got at Epal for my patchwork project ], the lining I used a thin fusible interfacing [ the kind you use for leher baju kurung] and for the base I used a thicker[ kain keras yg mak teh guna untuk buat awning tudung] for the base attached to the body and a thin batting [the same one I used for the body pieces] for the base attached to the lining.It is thick and it can sit on it's own easily.

This is the inside, so untidy,it did not fit properly,kira ok lah.

See the base,this the best I can do,please excuse my horrible work,I am sure,with a lot of practise I'll get by,maybe Sue will organize more sew along, eh..Sue ?

Oh enough is enough.I don't want to bore you with my two cents worth .Bye  and wish me luck in completing my bag.

Oh ,I bake this rustic bread this morning,you don't need aBM for this.

From This To

THIS !!!!

Let us see,hmmm...I have finished cutting all the required,the main body, lining,base,binding and the batting and interfacing.I am always behind in whatever things I do, slow learner.My problem is that,I am not sure whether I did the right thing in cutting the body and lining.You see ,when I taped the pattern,I overlapped the round mark you get on the pattern. I realised that Sue at mybotang didn't.that means mine will be shorter kan?

Now  I am working on the tape,I did it the ol-skool way  said Sue.

Salam  di tahun baru ini.So,we are a couple of weeks into the new year now.How are your changes coming along?Mak teh refused untuk buat any resolutions,memilih hanya untuk membuat beberapa perubahan kecil,itu pun so slow sangat prosesnya.hehe he....Kita mengucapkan selamat tinggal pada 2010,tapi mak teh masih mengambil masa untuk mengingati tarikh dengan betul...slow kan?

I know we all do it......come January,Yes..It's time to clean out and organize.....yes,at home,mine that is,is really in need of better organization.Ya..tiap-tiap tahun pun,mak teh hendak berubah untuk menjadi lebih teratur.tapi tak pernah berjaya,so tahun ini nak berubah sikit saja,tak nak lebih lebih...takut tak berjaya jika kita terlalu memaksa kan?

Semalam mak teh menjengah ke rumah chef che Mat,teruja betul tengok  cucoq kelapanya,so pagi-pagi tadi mak teh pun apalagi ,,tirula chef kita tu...disebabkan tak ada kelapa muda,mak teh buat cucoq kodok je.Ada sikit lebihan pisang semasa majlis doa selamat Selasa lepas .cukup untuk sarapan tadi.Sebentar tadi,singgah[never missed] kerumah chef mamafami ,tengok ada cucoq jugak....demam cucoq kot no....

                                                         ni ha cucoq kodok  ,makan kat wakaf..

Tidak terlalu lambat untuk mak teh mengucapkan SELAMAT TAHUN BARU ya buat semua.

Wishing everyone a year filled with sweetness and spice ,a fun-filled and joyful times ,and sending much love and big hugs and kisses your way.Happy happy new year.

Wow..mak teh baru sedar lamanya tidak menjengah kesini..last post bulan May!!!!!
