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…

Tabs & Friends will start off this year’s donation through our homesewn products with this double-sided patchwork cover for their cushion! I had actually sewn this blanket with scraps earlier on. But I thought it looked too “scrappy” with no specific theme… So, I folded it into two and turned it into a cover for…

We have been encouraging the use of cloth shopping bags ever since we started selling (by donation) our home-sewn shopping bags. Now, in conjunction with Selangor’s ban of the use of plastic bags in 2017, we hope you might consider supporting our sale of shopping bags again – they make nice and meaningful gifts for family and loved…

We thank Connie very much for her kind donation of RM300 for this Blue Hello Kitty blanket!  It’s for Lucy, her dog. The cloth for the top is donated by Tabs & Friends while the backing cloth is donated by Ms Lim Seng Mui.
