Melinda's Doll Dress

 (Melinda's Doll Dress)

This Melinda's Doll Dress has been in the queue piled up on my sewing machine for quite some time, finally I was able to finish it after completed that pair of lacey baju kebaya. Gosh, I'm a little phobia when mentioning lace... let's forget about it first, we now talk about this brand new Melinda's Doll Dress.

We're living in only one-season weather, wearing something made from light fabric, without collar and sleeves and in simple design is an ideal, for me in daily wear. But, a petite figure like me is not easy to find one. The material of clothes that always shun me off from buying them. What's more when I needed to juggle between many roles, one time as cook, the next as chauffeur, baby sitter and etc...I really need clothes that is comfortable and can wear for inside and outside of home. So, after having all these considerations and getting the right fabric, I constructed it and here's the piece. I named it so because I have a friend whose name is Melinda and she always likes doll dresses. She says even she's not pregnant, she still can wear it : )) LOL...Don't get me wrong, I'm not having a baby either ; )

So, this is my doll dress. What's your favorite one?

It's raining season, we prefer to stay home mostly to enjoy home cook. Pizza for dinner is a not often, but always in demand, sometimes tops with chicken satay or occasionally with tuna or sardine fish. Yeah, that's less mundane compared with everyday every meals with rice.

I've had completed that pair of so.. so... very time consuming baju pengantin (bride's clothing). That's my course work. I'm the one who asked for it. Most probably in another few months but not sooner, I won't dare to touch any lacey thing. Gosh, that's not easy, really. Anyhow, I've taken the picture of it to share with you, that's in the size of S. Button at the front and the collar is in the shape of sirih with a little collar at the back.

What do you think of this baju kebaya? Feel free to share it with us here...

Stay great, friends.

AYa's Mini Peter Pan Collar Shirt

Wishing all our Muslim friends a very Happy Hari Raya.

Lovely, lovely, lovely...
The above pictures were drawn by the littlest R. Obviously he knows the celebration and what holidays he is in now.

(AYa's Mini Peterpan Collar Blouse)

I can't wait to show you this piece of creation I created and how it resembled my clothes making recently. I love this piece very much. One would have heard and seen Peter Pan collar which is a pretty common style to style the collar, but what about Mini Peter Pan collar? I haven't seen one. So, with some skills in hand and with the creative mind, I put them altogether into the existing blouse that I have in the handmade craft store, Etsy, that's the birth of AYa's Mini Peter Pan Collar Blouse for you.
What would this world be if there's no creativity, no artisan? Sometimes, this new and fresh ideas take my breath away.

Every piece of fabric is handpicked and selected by me. Maybe that's the reason why each time I completed making a dress or clothes, I am soooo... tempted to wear and eventually wanted to own it despite having more than enough in the wardrobe : P
So, I resisted myself even from trying it, otherwise, there won't be any in the shop!

Friends, what are you making recently? Do share...

Hot dog sausages bun

I'm very busy rushing a few more pairs of baju raya for clients for this coming Raya Puasa celebration. Completing one really took many many hours of this new hands. After these batch of sewing, I'll have more time to make others to put them in Etsy. If there is any clothes that you would like to see, feel free to suggest it out, I will be happy to oblige if that's within my mean ; )

My kitchen is now full of hot dog sausages bun which I baked late yesterday nite. The kids immediately asked for some when it was still hot right from the oven. "Mummy, it melt in my mouth this sausage bun..." quipped big R while munching on the bun whilst watching his cartoon show. He is a bread person, that's why I need to bake : ) for them...
