Sewing : First project : Mini wash cloth

Hey all! 
So I got the gorgeous minky yesterday, bought 6 yards and also samples so I know which one to buy next, and I'm happy to sew some of it. Since this is the first fabric I'm gonna start sewing with my new sewing machine, so I'm just happy it turns out nicely. The size is very mini, 3.5" x 6" and I love how soft it feels!

This week, since hubby went to team building stuff and will be coming back tomorrow, so I'm gonna dedicate this weekend for lots more project!
All those minky are very forgiving, so, even though it's my first time, I'm very happy how it turns out!

Check it out :

The sewing machine is here!!
I'm pretty excited!
And I have ordered some minky fabric online too.
Can't wait until that arrive~
*I put that on hubby's card. Hahaha. Thank you hubby love~ *
I've opened the box, however since there's too many items in there, I'll open it at house later. Woohoo! 
Can't wait to try it out!

*Super excited that all my sentences end with exclamation mark. Zzz *

Sleep deprived and day dreaming again

Sleep deprived as I totally could not sleep as I'm hot but the weather is freezing, and I keep peeing every 15 minutes or so. *Is this the curse of pregnancy? 6m2w now, so going to toilet every freaking minutes are tiring, and my body ache. I can't sleep!!*
Gosh. So, not a time waster, I spent my night thinking / day dreaming about my new hobby on sewing.
I was thinking to purchase a yard of minky fabric, as well as making a matching set of baby stuff.
Like blanket/bib/burp cloth combo. Or blanket/mitten/boot/hat combo. Oh gosh the possibilities are endless!
Yesterday I was sewing machine hunting, I wanna buy one that have embroidery and also usual stitches built in, so I would not have to buy two of them, but oh my god, the price!
* How cool is to get a set of blanket and stuff, with your son/daughter name monogrammed on it? So cool! Just like this *

Minkyboutique's pillow


Singer's are like RM3000 above, and so does Brother.
So I'm comparing the Singer's Curvy 8870 model which to me suits me fine, but, since the embroidery is small and not that pretty, I reconsider my choice.

Singer's Curvy 8870

Next, I try to look at Brother's sewing machine, and it's more expensive!

Swoonn. Brother's NV950


And then I came across some website claiming they are selling the Brother embroidery and sewing machine for 50% off, that is from RM3999 to RM1999!
Oh goody, is this a sign??
I'm currently begging hubby to buy me one, if they are still in stock, and pls pray that they are still in stock!!
Oh woohoo!
And another thing, the house is ours too!
The land lord is going to inspect and see if there's anything he need to do to the house, and the latest we will probably get the house on Sunday!
Plus, the rent is the same as mine is now. Freaking cheap wey. I got this flat, buck ugly, smell flat for RM350, 2 bedroom, 1 store and 1 toilet/bathroom.
But this house is 3 bed, 2 bathroom and one of the bathroom is in the master bedroom!
Granted, nothing in it, only sinks and basic stuff, but I'm happy enough.
But I will be travelling to and fro, however his work place is in my way, so I'll drop him off and go to work.
I probably be boring there since S is not there, so I guess the sewing machine came in handy this time around. *I'm a planner, I really like planning my ways around. :) *
Oh wow. Life is such a roller coaster.
S is the one who supposed to rent elsewhere, but suddenly I'm the one moving.
Will be buying the sewing machine if its available. And put a great bent on hubby's credit card.

Tomorrow, I'm going to Kuantan with hubby, mom and brother. We're going to visit relatives there, and I'm going to a small reunion with my ump buddies. BBQ night!
I can't wait to see them, and gossip the night away!
On top of that, I know I'm blessed with a good fortune, and I know whatever I want, I'll get it, in any other way, and the result, is a blessed in disguise usually.
So, be thankful for those moments, when you think life fail you, but its not, just prepping you up to some bigger stuff.

P/s : Do you think I can sew? I'm not sure either. I used to sew small items, small dolls and the like, but never big stuff. Mom is excited and asking me to create beddings, pillow and the likes. Brr. I don't know, I'll like to play around first. And maybe, later I'll sew and sew and sew during my confinement period of two months. Who knows if I'm good at it, I may even sell it! :)

Sewing again?

Freaking cute blanket from minkyboutique.


Oh my, as I'm online browsing for things that baby needs (or mummy wants) I come across minky blanket.
It looks soooo luxurious and cute. But the price is around RM135-165.
Oh wow.
So, I look online for the fabrics, but unfortunately can't find one in Malaysia.
So I look further for those that shipped internationally and I found this:
http://theminkyboutique.com
I'm not even sure whether I'm going to purchase a whole yard just to create one, but it's a possibility since it's cheaper that way, huh?
And, I found that for 1 yard it will be like, RM30, so the minky blanket should have 2 sides, which means if I want different styles, I should buy 2 yards of different prints, and I basically have 2 blanket.
The price will be RM30x2 + RM20(shipment, estimate) = 80, which is, half of the price!
Well, but since they are doing a great job sewing and those lil stuff, so I guess it worth the price.
:)
I don't even have a sewing machine. Oh well. I saw one in Singer which looks adorable and could make a mean monogram. Which is perfect for those customization blanket. Or burp cloth. Or diaper. Or whatever.
Omigosh I'm having a totally creative moments without even stuff to do. Day dreaming again, or am I going to make this a reality?
Oh well. The Singer is RM110 per month for 2 years I think, and the yards are looking pretty.
Maybe I'll start small and end up big, and could work from home.
Maybe.
Oh well. We'll see about this, or maybe I'm just day dreaming again...


Plus, we maybe *again those maybe word* shift house, as hubby's friend going to move out and we probably move in, this week! But I'll keep you posted about that. Since hubby hatesss living in flat, and he really wants to live in house, with yard and so on, I guess we'll move, if he's not into procrastination mode again. *Which he did with the last 50houses we went through...*
So, pray for us that this will be the last house I will house hunt for!
