I completed an order of 3 songkety (that’s songket-y) bags today for my friend, Yvonne, along with several more of the huge bags! Total bags sewn since yesterday when the orders started pouring in! Here are Yvonne’s bags: When folded. Another huge bag (18 by 22). I’ve sewn a total of 10 of these huge…

We’ve had some enquiries about how to fold the foldable bag (which we are sewing and selling for fundraising for the animals), so here’s a pictorial tutorial: Step 1: Place the bag flat. Step 2. Fold the handles in. Step 3: Fold into three rectangles. Step 4: Fold the two ends inwards so that it forms a…

Would you believe it? Guess how many bag orders we received? We’ve sold four already (earlier on). And as it stands now, we have 44 more orders! Yes, 44 pieces more, so in total, it’s 48 foldable bags all together! Hurray for foldable bags, hurray for #BebasPlastik and thank you everyone who is helping us…

I brought my newly sewn green foldable bag to buy groceries this afternoon. A friend spotted it and we got talking about #Bebas Plastik. So I showed her how this bag could be folded and would you believe it, she decided to buy my first-sewn bag! So, that’s already sold AND there are orders for…

Update: Green Bag is SOLD!  There are orders for another three of this size too! The original post: Previously, all the bags we’ve sold to raise funds were sewn by my mum. I don’t know how to sew a bag! But I’m really interested in these foldable bags in support of #BebasPlastik and ocean life,…

Update: SOLD to Ms Linda Wong! The original post: This Giraffe cloth is contributed by Ms Ooi. Pretty giraffes all in a row! It’s another huge piece of cloth, enough for 4 blankets! That’s just one piece up there. Since it has big motifs, not much cutting is required. I added two borders on the…

Update: Dora the Explorer has been sold! The original post: Here’s another blanket for fundraising. My mum had this Dora the Explorer cloth from way back and my friend, Audrey, contributed quite a bit of cloth with interesting “archaeological” designs. The two really fit together well! My mum sewed these square pieces. And I arranged…

I met a friend while buying vegetables today and she was lamenting about the #BebasPlastik campaign. She said she usually buys many items on her shopping trips and now, she would have to carry many shopping bags with her, which is an inconvenience. So, I showed her the foldable lightweight shopping bag that I was…

After sewing two Pooh Bear blankets, these are the pieces I had left: Now, to join them up! My two supervisors. All joined up…. And now it’s finished! It measures 67 in by 74 in. Vincent approves! The backing will be sewn by my mum. The backing cloth is donated by Lim Seng Mui. Thank…

The Pooh Bear blanket I sewed yesterday turned out to be quite a favourite. We have orders for another two now (and that’s all we can make as there was enough cloth for 3 pieces). Here’s Pooh Bear 2: It measures 57 in by 74 in. The right side shows the pieces of remnant cloth…

I’m in a sewing mood! Here are three baby blankets I completed today. The backing hasn’t been sewn in yet; that will be done once they are ordered. The Pooh Bear blanket: This blanket measures 66 in by 75 in. Update: SOLD! The Winnie-the-Pooh cloth is contributed by Ms Ooi. The patchwork sashing is made from…

Update: Both blankets are sold now!  Hers to Yuen Cheng and His to Ms Linda Wong. The original post: Over the last few days, I created a set of His & Hers blankets. These are made out of the 9-patches my mum sewed a few months ago. Each 9-patch was cut into 4 pieces, re-oriented…
