Beach wedding

Every now and then i get a request to make flower girl dresses for destination weddings. This customer brought to our sewing studio luxurious Thai Shantung silk to  into a flower girl dress. But after discussing the design, she decided to use our luxurious Duchess Satin instead and have us turn the fabric she brought into a traditional baju Melayu for her son.

Having cut the fabric , i realized that there was enough remnant to make  a simple tunic for her daughter ( which i think , paired with capris will look fab at the beach ). She requested that we turn it into a ruffle blouse. After carefully measuring and cutting the fabric ( to make sure there's enough remnant to use ) , here's the completed outfit - a flower girl dress for the beach wedding , a baju Melayu and a three tier ruffle top .

NEW KIDS FABRICS JUNE 2012 PART 2


I am a huge huge fan of Robert Kaufman . So its no surprise that we stock so many of his fabrics . My personal favourite is this Vroom collection by Leslie Grainger for Robert Kaufman. RM45/m ( Umar's toy not included )

You can have us turn these fabrics into adorable baby sets or pretty much anything that can be sewn. We also sell them by the metres ( subject to availability ) . These are really the highest quality cotton out there in the most intense colors . The material softens with age and last a very long time. You can order quilts , blankets , pillows , bolsters , toy bags etc from us using a combination of fabrics . It'll be fab, i promise :)

NEW KIDS FABRICS JUNE 2012

New fabrics in stock . ( yup , with a new baby , i'm reduced to drop only one liners )

A trip to my supplier's shop is like a breath of fresh air . It breathes new life to our already extensive selection of kids fabrics ( some i'm willing to part with , some i'm not ) . This time around i promise we didnt just get pinks and pinks .

oh the wonderful feel of designer cotton . Nothing like it .


Elephant Parade Panel by Studio E Fabrics . RM45/panel

and here's the coordinating fabric. Also RM45/m

I also picked some of our popular images like bears and cradles and layettes in soft pastels.

Sleepy Time Panel by Fabri Quilt Inc. This material is flannel, not woven cotton . RM 45/m. Which would go perfectly with the coordinating cotton fabric below ( RM45/m )


And because we love both baby boys and girls alike , again Sleepy Time by Fabri Quilt Inc in pink. Both as flannel panel and coordinates. RM 45/m.




Did I stop at these ? noooo . *to be continued*
