CNY sewing spree (2) – the classy Italiano bag
Remember the silky cloth donated by Audrey? I decided I’d try sewing a bag from one of them today. The sewing is tricky because the cloth is very smooth, light and silky. Sounds rather classy, doesn’t it? Here we are! This classy bag is up for grabs, for the same price of RM20 (by donation)!

Another Mickey blanket
We wish to thank Jessy Kek’s son (!) for ordering another Mickey blanket from us. He liked the first Mickey blankie so much that he asked if Popo (my mum) could sew him another one. So I said I will sew this second piece. Both pieces of the Mickey cloth are donated by Jessy herself.…

Another songkety foldable bag!
I made a bag out of the songkety cloth I bought yesterday! UPDATE: This bag is sold! But there’s still more cloth, if anyone else is interested. The cloth is a really good buy too – it’s fairly thick! I think it comes in several colours, but I cannot remember exactly. Will go back to…

More cloth for bags and blankets!
Since I knew I’d be sewing through Chinese New Year, I went to the textile store to see if there was any suitable cloth for sewing bags or blankets. As it turned out, yes, there were…plenty too! I matched these two pieces and was thinking of making a “yin yeong” bag, ie. one side is…

Two foldable bags!
Between the last post and now, I have sewn two more foldable bags! This order is from my taiqi sifu’s other students. They wanted “dark colours”, so I hope this is dark enough for them… This is actually navy blue with very tiny white polka dots. Am waiting for the other order to be paid…

A baby-pink blankie!
Oreo and Hazel Balestorm ordered a baby blankie for their newborn human cousin! Initially, Oreo wanted to purchase Sailor Bear but I thought it would be far too big for a newborn baby. Sailor Bear is meant as a big blanket or a bedspread – it’s especially big too (63 in by 87 in). So…

Cindy’s Original for the cats
The verdict: They all love it! I bought two boxes with a mixture of five flavours. Rosie has been very fussy (or was she unwell, I don’t know) lately. All of a sudden, she refused to eat home-cooked food. Her appetite was down for a few days, then she got excited during feeding time again…
