New Try - Embroidery: By The Sea

I always wanted to try new things, crochet, knitting, leather, decoupage, ..... many many more, embroidery is one of them. During my last 2 years trip to South China, I was attracted by an embroidery craft book and finally bought it back. Well, it was always in my wish list to start a simple one but plan never come through until recently after I have completed my custom made orders & really have the passion to start a simple one.

Chosen this simple yet adorable By The Sea simply attracted by the bear in pink dress, the sandals, the ship, the crab, the sea birds, the goggles, the submarine ..... later on may turn it into a simple tote bag or just frame it up, depends on my mood later on...

Navy Blue Concise Bag ver. 2.0 (Custom Made Order)

It has been a long time since my last post, in fact I am getting very busy on my work since early May due to both of my superiors are out of office, so I am on my own since then. The pressure I am getting from work place has made me very down and sometimes really no mood to blog. But it never stops me from doing my craft work as I believe through sewing I could release some of my pressure getting from work. Thus, sewing never stop from my daily routine, no matter how busy I am, I will make sure I have a small project to work on. This is my passion & persistence on hand crafting.

After my mumbling, here is the custom made order - concise bag that I have made in middle of June. The customer wants the same pattern of the Navy Concise Bag that I have made earlier but she wants the entire bag in dark blue, even including the bottom of the bag. So I have to redo the bag from fresh. Besides that she also requested to add in 2 pen slots in the inner bag.

 This bag could be turned into a sling bag by adding the sling handle (which is not in this picture).

Little Bear Applique Short Wallet (Custom Made)

My niece requested to have an applique wallet when she saw me sewing the Shinnie project. I was surprised that she will appreciate this kind of work. I know she likes bear & chocolate color very much, so purposely designed the pattern myself. Hope she will like it.

Owl Love Single Quilt (Custom Made Order)

Another owl love panel quilt ordered by a FB friend whom loves owl very very much. She even showed me her handmade owl bag as well, really an owl fans.

I purposely paused a while to start this quilt from the last I made, so that I will not repeat the same design as the previous one. This round the quilt is with batting. Quilting is definitely not an easy task for such a big size of quilt, thank God that I am able to complete it.
