I am WAY ahead of myself

I have been looking at all different handmade clutches, purses, and bags on Etsy and look what I found:

GraceyBags' Shop

Of course she has more colorful ones, but I just absolutely love the shape of it. Being me, of course I think this too should be easy to make. So I googled "how to make clutch" and think "How to make clutch purse" is actually simple enough for me to understand. Now comes the question of how am I going to be able to make cutting patterns that have curved corners like Gracey's?

Ah.... then again.... I haven't even started on my make-up bag. I really should finish one thing at a time and worry about this one later.

Still wishful thinking is always allowed.

I Had A Date With DIY Wedding Crafts

My dear dear crazy friend Amy (please pay her a visit at her wedding blog) is getting married this year July and together we have had so many success and fail DIY projects. And as for the past weekend she invited friends over and we all put our hands together and made some lovely items for her special day.

I was in charge of making the boutineers for the boys.

She found the similar boutineer for sell on Etsy:

I think we did pretty well, but after 9 boutineers...I think I have had enough of this for maybe couple weeks. haha...

please do ignore my crazy hair.

Make-up Bag Day 1

So... as I mention in my previous blog, the mission of this "Make-up Bag" is now officially started! (YEAH!!!!!! ) After working out with my sweet gym buddy S. for 2 hours, I can barely lift my arms to open the car door...BUT! I pushed myself hard to iron the fabric... set up the sewing machine.

Here is a picture of the fabric i chose for this Mission:

Will use the red fabric as the inside lining.

Sadly, I only got enough energy left for this... and will have to leave the rest for tomorrow. So night night sewing machine and HELLOOOOOO fluffy pillows!

GOOD NIGHT!

Make-up Bag - Mission "not entirely" Impossible

I get these urges of making random items from time to time. Most the time, I do lose the urge either before I actually start the project or get really bored with it in the middle of it. (shame on me...yes... I know...) For that past few weeks, I had this BURNING DESIRE of making my own make-up bag (altho...I don't even wear make up everyday...but DANG IT I want one!). So I googled "how to make a make up bag" and landed on this

Isn't this just SUPPAR CUTE?!

So... I got some awesome fabric at home...and going to "try" to make this. I do have a sewing machine at home...but I usually end up hand stitch everything.

I think this will take about a week (saddly I do have to work from 9 to 5...so I can actually feed myself...and funding my random desire of crafty projects).

I'll post updates about this in the future.
