SEW MY NAME

When I go shopping and happen to come across photo frames on sale I will buy and keep. It comes in handy when I have pretty remnants from my sewing which can be cut and sew to make decorative frames.

The ‘Home Sweet Home’ motifs came from the remnants of upholstery material of my dining chairs. I have just finished sewing it on the green cotton in just a few minutes.

The country motifs on the blue gingham were from nursery set which I sew for my niece. They suit my blue kitchen theme.

So don’t throw away the pretty remnants if you can cut the motifs to appliqué on a plain or gingham cotton. Sew with zig-zag stitches or just glue if the material does not fray easily. It makes pretty and simple little gifts too.

Have a great weekend.

I love sewing stuff for babies. As I was looking at old photos I came across those of my babies, Zurikh and Tamim who are now 15 and 11 respectively. I sew their nursery sets myself.

Zurikh has always been a cheerful baby and a joy to everyone.

I love the Gingham Goose quilt above which I sew for Zurikh which is cheery.

Tamim, below, was the opposite. He clung to me like a koala and everyone remembers him as a crying baby.

Pink is my favorite color. Even though both pregnancies I knew I was expecting boys, I still couldn’t help adding pink when sewing their nursery sets.

Look how big and handsome they are now.

Zurikh is at the phase where naturally, Mom doesn’t know things.

Tamim is naughty and playful and at the phase where Mom doesn’t really know quite everything.

Now I have stopped sewing for them and they are getting expensive!
