SEW MY NAME

I noticed many times Google searches arrive on my blog looking for instruction how to sew a nappy stacker.  For those who don’t know what on earth this is, it is actually for putting baby diapers and usually it is hanged at baby’s crib or somewhere convenient within the mummy’s reach. It is really neat and makes a cool organizer.

So for the benefit of others I’m putting up this instruction to share. It’s very simple actually but probably many are just unsure of the dimensions and measurement to cut. Basically we need 1 metre of material, some lace if needed or we simply use the same material or contrasting material to decorate a little. If the material is heavily patterned, it is wise to keep the nappy stacker simple, otherwise you may want to add pockets or stitched some motifs to make it more interesting.

At this moment I am busy with orders for my brooches and a lady from KL wanted me to make many different colors for her after she saw the ones that I make for my cousin . For her benefit I am capturing some photos in the slide show for her and the rest of the readers who may wish to order while stock lasts as some beads may not be available anymore.
I am using beautiful Japanese tensha beads, and also polymer claybeads and lampwork beads which I ordered from the States teaming them up with Swarovski crystals, stones and quartz. You may contact me  at fatia123@gmail.com to customize order or make enquiries.

I have just bought 2 pieces of chairs from Ikea to replace my old kitchen stools(1 was broken so I have a good reason to buy). I like the plain chairs and was thinking of painting them white  or blue to match my kitchen.

But earlier today I found a pair of unused bolster cases and a pillowcase whcih I have only used the bedsheet for the my children bottom pull-out bed. Remembering Hadias , one of my favorite bloggers, who likes to recycle or re-purpose things not used, I figured out it will be enough to make a pair of covers for my new kitchen chairs. 

From 1 bolster case, I cut into 2 , enough to  completely cover the back of the chairs. From the other bolster I have enough for the skirts and for 2 pair of ties for the chairs. From the pillow case I cut 2 pieces for the seats and left a little for a small piece of table mat.

It’s really pretty simple to sew, firstly attaching the 2 pair of ties to the sides of the chair backs. Next, sew the main seat to the chair backs and finally attaching the chair skirts to the sides. when you cut the skirts, measure the perimeter of the seat and adding about 3″ to 6 ” and make 1 small pleat at each corner. Tie the 2 pieces at the back of the chair to make a bow.

Now I need to prepare for tea.  Remember to recycle  or repurpose stuffs so as not to create wastage. Have a great day all of you.

My kids pcs are both down for quite sometimes and I have not got them repired as I see no urgency as my laptop is available. I myself has been busy and also has not been well for the last few weeks  to do any blogging. And I just rely on  my wifi phone to surf the net. But it is not so convenient to do blogging as the phone is rather small compare to a pc or laptop. Now I am feeling much better  and needing my laptop I must make a priority to get someone to repair the pcs before my laptop suffers at the heavy usage of my kids hands.

Right now I am sad and sort of at the bottom of the pit as I have just lost my beloved Nokia E61i yesterday. I am not a heavy mobile phone user as it’s more of being able for the hubby and kids to reach me or me to contact them. I send about an average of 10 to 12 messages a day but my wifi phone is good for surfing internet and reading blogs at bedtime or when I am resting on the sofa.

Upon reaching home yesterday and realized that my phone is gone for good I called my telco to suspend my line temporarily. I was feeling really down and didn’t feel like doing anything and had an early night. There is some sort of emptiness without my mobile and I wonder how long I can survive without one.

So how about you? Can you live without your laptop/pc or your mobile? Me, probably can for a few days! Life is just too lonely without these tech gadgets. Loosing a mobile to me is just like loosing a good friend.
