紫色浪漫水饺包 Romantic Purple Dumpling Bag

这是做给我小姑的包包。她向我提了很久了，可是因为之前一直都在赶订单所以没时间做给她。刚好把订单都交了，所以上个星期开始选布料。她和我一样也是爱紫之人（不知道是不是受了我的影响？）所以我选了这块珍藏了很久的紫色格子水玉心心棉麻再配上红色的酒袋布。

我自己是很喜欢这样的配搭，不晓得小姑喜不喜欢， 如果不喜欢没关系，我留着自己背。就连我的公主都抢着要这个包哦，哈哈。。。

拉链用了甜美的蕾丝拉链， 更为包包锦上添花。

内袋用了红色水玉，颜色很抢眼哦！还加了个口袋，袋口处车了蕾丝和车上布贴。

包包的旁边加了个龙虾扣，好让小姑找起钥匙的时候不会这么头痛。

2010 的最后一个订单。。。手机包 (客订单） My last order of 2010... handphone pouch (Custom Made Order)

2010 就快来到尾声了，我也把今年最后一个订单赶完了。心情无比的轻松。这是同样一位同事向我订的手机包，是打算那来送给一位马来朋友当生日礼物的。一直迟迟不开工是因为想做一款之前没做过的，可是脑袋一直没有灵感。一拖再拖，拖到没得拖了也只好硬着头皮做。也许是应为如此，所以成品我很不满意。结果我又裁布重做。
2010 is almost the end, I have finally completed my last order of the year, feel very relief after seeing the pouch! this is the same colleague who has ordered quite many items from me, she ordered this handphone pouch for a Malay friend as birthday present. She has placed the order quite some time ago, but I did not start the work until the deadline is due. I did not have any idea on how to do something differently and this pouch is the 2nd pouch I sew. The 1st one didn't meet my expectation, so I re-do.

当看到第二次的成品，我知道这是我要的结果。

When I see the final product, I really like it and I know this one can be sent out.

蛋糕派对（客订）Felt Cakes Party (Custom Made Order)

和我同名的旧同事心血来潮，和三个公主玩起“圣诞交换礼物”的游戏，向我订了十个蛋糕分别送给三个公主和侄女。她要求十个蛋糕都要不同设计，而且还要很复杂的设计哦。
My ex-colleague whom has the same name as mine ordered 10pcs of felt cakes from me for her 3 lovely princesses and niece. As what she has promised them to have "X'mas gift x-change" but never tell them what the gift will be... my colleague requested 10 different design and complicated cakes.

选了几款我之前做过的，想想这次重做应该不会难到那里去。可是也许太旧没抓这么小的布块了，刚开始竟然抓不稳。。。

Well, I have done that before so just choose the same pattern I have done before. Maybe too long never sew, I couldn't hold the felt tight during the start of the sewing..... omg...

因为蛋糕是要分给四位小公主的，所以同事要我把它们分别包装。 这三块一盒的是送给三位公主的。

Since the cakes are for 4 little princesses, so it has been requested to pack individually. These 3pc pack is for her 3 lovely princesses.

而这孤独的水果塔是给侄女的。。。

And this lonely fruit tart is for the niece...

我和同事说，你可以自行搭配， 我没有把盒子钉死。她说回家要抽签决定。哈哈。。。

I told my colleague that she can mix n match later coz I never staple the box. Let her 3 princesses to match n mix what they like.

来来来，来个大合照。。。

Here is the group photo.

十二月的小托（试验包） Small Tote for Dec'10 (testing version)

为了十二月的拼布交流会的活动，我担心受怕了好久。一直对大包包和机缝有恐惧感的我，迟迟都不敢开工。交程看了一遍又一遍，就是一窍无法通。幸好雪仁的点画和指点，我才有所领悟。谢了，雪仁！
Because of the December activity, I had worried for very long how to submit my X'mas exchange gift, was thinking to quit the game was then it will be unfair to the one who supposed to receive my gift.... luckily I got my "shifu" - Sharon, to guide me step by step until I clearly understood what was taught in the instruction. Thank u so much to Sharon!

这个包我选了很zakka 的棉麻来当包身，侧身用了蓝色的酒袋布配以红色水玉。整体的效果是很耐脏，哈哈！
I chose a zakka fabric for this bag, the side of the bag I used a blue canvas fabric and match with red polka dot. The overall effect of the bag is not easy to get dirt, haha!

包的里布我选用了原色棉麻，还加了个口袋好放些小样的东西。侧包和包里都加了手缝磁扣。

The inner of the bag is fully plain cotton linen, just nice to match with the zakka style of the bag. I added a open pocket to keep some small items. The side pocket and inner bag was sew with snap buttons.

当然这不会是拿来送小主人的圣诞礼物啦，小主人的包已经缝好了咯，可是不能 po 上来，要等到小主人收到了才能见光。

Of course this is not the real tote bag for X'mas gift exchange. The bag for exchange will only be posted after our "little master" received it!

米奇万能钥匙包（客订） Mickey Mouse Keychain Pouch (Custom Made Order)

这个米奇万能钥匙包也是同一位同事订的，要拿来送给友人当圣诞礼物。她选了米奇的布料，其他的就由我一手包办。我蛮享受从选布，配布， 到配零件的过程的，就好像为一个没生命的娃娃一个小生命一样。 This Mickey Mouse keychain pouch is ordered by the same colleague as well, she ordered this for her good friend's x'mas present. She chose the Mickey Mouse fabric and let me mix and match the rest. I really enjoy the process of matching up...

包包的里袋我也选了老鼠的布料哦！The inner pouch is also a mice fabric, just nice to match with the Mickey Mouse fabric!

还是客订包。。。Custom Made Order again...

这个月订单几多一下，赶完了一单，还有另一单。好现象哦！

以下是同事订的风车拼布化妆包， 和我之前做的一模一样，只是尺寸小了一点，颜色换了粉蓝色。

My Busy November with custom made order.... 忙碌的十一月

这一个月说有多忙就有忙，忙着收拾家（装修后整个家惨不忍睹），忙着赶订单。话说老板安排我上了一个培训，就这么阴差阳错下认识了这位顾客，她的来头可不小，是个正式律师，也是个业余培训员（trainer)。她和我订了两个口金包，送给她妈妈的生日礼物。可是时间很赶，我必须在一周的时间里把两个口金包缝好。那无疑对我这大忙人来说是个挑战。 结果这过去的一周，我天天都活在恐惧之中，哈哈。。。幸好还是把它们给赶出来了。
I was extremely busy this month, having relatives visit in the early of the month, then started to clean my house after house renovation, bit by bit until finally the last set of wall cabinet has been fixed in.... In my training for the last 2 wks, I had a chance to present my hobby/interest/talent - which is my handmade, hehe.... and from there I got to know her, a lady who likes to speak (at least in my opinion), whom is a certified lawyer and part time trainer too. She was quite impressed with my handmade and wanted to order 2 coin purses for her mum's birthday present. I only been given a week to complete the purses, my god.... tension.... finally I managed to completed the 2 coin purses within the timeline.


1) 10。5cm 的三片式口金包（10.5cm 3pc Coin Purse)
我用了10。5cm 的口金框，包型则是13。5cm 的纸型。原本她向我订了两个 9。5cm 的口金包， 可是因为她提到想让妈妈带着出门，所以我想应该做个大一点的包包吧。
这是我第一次缝这么大的口金包，也第一次尝试缩缝。还以为缩缝会很难，幸好一切都很顺利。加了一个小提手，好让太太可以手挽着出门。
This is my 1st time to sew such a big coin purse, due to the limitation frame I have + time is not allowed, I use the 10.5cm frame and 13.5cm pattern to sew this purse. The product is very big, it can be used as a small handbag. In fact I came out with this design without asking her permission first, coz her original idea was to sew two same size coin purses (9.5cm) but I made my mind to change one of them to a bigger size since she mentioned to me that want to let her mum carry out the bag for shopping.

2）9。5cm 四片式口金包（9.5cm 4pc coin purse)

这个口金包圆圆胖鼓鼓的，特别好看。容量也蛮大的哦，可以装的下好多东西。

This coin purse I followed her original idea of 9.5cm. Well, this one could serve as coin purse or small cosmetic pouch to keep lipsticks or etc.

两个包包的布料都是那位律师选的，因为她妈妈爱红色，也爱花，所以特别色声明一定要有这两样原素。包包也缝上了妈妈的名字 - Jasmail。

Both fabrics were chosen by the lawyer, her mum likes red + flowers, so both purses are having the similarities - red + flowery. And not to forget the purses have her mum's name on it - Jasmail. I am taking the opportunity here to wish Mdm Jasmail: Happy Birthday on 29-Nov!

第一个贴布口金包 My 1st Patchwork Coin Frame Purse

努力了近两周， 终于都把这第一个贴补口金包给完成了。真的是捏了把冷汗也！虽然已经知道这应该是不简单的事，也早做了心理准备，可是在缝制的当儿，还是吃了不少苦头。一个看似简单的娃娃与棉羊缝起来也蛮吃力的。在缝缝拆拆的情况下，终于都顺利的完成。蛮享受它的过程的，虽然困难重重，哈哈。。。

After stuggling for 2 weeks, finally I am able to share my "hard" work here, it's a patchwork coin frame purse. This is my 1st time to try on this kind of patchwork and I almost gave up when started to sew, coz I couldn't even hold the small tiny fabric tight! But I told myself mustn't give up! Finally I managed to complete the coin purse yesterday.

Purple Holland Doll Coin Purse (Custom Made Order)

This is a custom made order from my colleague - coin purse. She requested to have purple polka dot and match with Purple Holland Doll. The original pattern was a camera pouch, I did some modification to become a coin purse.

It's Little Red Riding Hook again.... (Custom Made Order)

Well, my ex-colleague likes the Little Red Riding Hook handphone pouch that I have designed for myself, so she has requested a 100% same design & fabric pouch for herself as well, eventhough I told her I have many other red & cute fabrics.....

Paris Tower Handphone Pouch (Custom Made Order)

This Paris Tower handphone pouch was ordered by my colleague for her good friend as birthday present. She requested to have sweet light blue for the pouch and I have chosen the Paris Tower with some simply checked and polka dot.
See, my princess has become my FREE model to demonstrate the pouch, ahahaha....

Doggie Walking 3-pc Coin Purse (Custom Made Order)

Here is another custom made order from the lady whom ordered the red cosmetic pouch too.

She requested to have doggie on the small little coin purse. Here it goes... Doggie walking...

Even the inner purse, I have used a light yellow doggie fabric too... This coin purse is really designed for a doggie lover.
