Crafty Art Market

**The zipper tutorial (as mentioned in previous post) will be delayed and posted after this one yeah, sorry :x




Despite busy schedule last weekend, I managed to visit a craft market for the first time, yeehar!! The event, Crafty Art Market was held at Jaya One PJ – the right location at the right time as I needed to go to CakeConnection to check on some baking stuffs as well. 2 in 1 :)

The weather was pretty hot but I didn’t mind at all. It was fun! I get to browse through a lot of interesting items from creative sellers. I kept reminding myself to only buy what is needed. Lucky I didn’t have time to go to the teller machine so I bought only 1 (phewh!) small knitted cotton fabric from loveandcraft. Visited my friend's Mai Okinokiyo booth. The sun hats were cute! But no size for my boys.. The dresses were lovely but no size for my lil niece also :(.. Maybe I was destined to spend only rm10 that day huhu..

A couple of pictures taken during the visit.. I should have taken more.. terlupa sbb syok sgt tgk keliling hihi.. you can visit Okinokiyo’s site for more pictures.

Something for the little chef

I made 2 items for my friend’s daughter.

[1] Apron
Is a must. So her mommy dearest yulie bakes the cake (head chef hehe) would have chances wearing her own apron :).. Besides, wearing inappropriate size can be harmful.. I mean can cause kitchen accident lah if the size is too big :P

This is my first apron project. No pattern needed as it is very basic.. Just need a little teeny weeny bit of thinking since it is reversible (you can do it too, trust me and believe in yourself ;)). Measurement taken directly from my little model’s body.


The apron with Dora the Explorer design. Hope she likes it.

[2] Zippered pillow case
Pulling the pillow out of its case is one of her favourite things to do, I was told. Smelling the ‘bantal busuk’ directly makes her calm I guess.. right? (eh, do not disagree with me. I’m sure you once - or still - have 'bantal busuk' as well ahah! There, there I can see you smiling :P) Anyway, I hope by adding the zipper would at least stop her from having that idea again.

Oh nos.. I didn’t snap the pillowcase pic before I sent. Never mind, I will post a tutorial on how to attach the zipper in my next post and show you the final result of course.

Last but not least, for the mommy dearest.. happy belated birthday yulie muahs
