Fusible Interfacing

This week was quite a challenge for us as my husband has been back to England for a week and my big boy is sick since Sunday. Fortunately, his nasty belly bug is gone out from his system so we all are back to normal happy state (yes, noisy!!).

I wanted to used a new material and this week I used fusible interfacing to bond 2 cotton fabric together to make the material a bit stronger. Sometimes I need to carry a couple of water bottles for kids and grown-ups and few nick-nacks in one bag that makes a bag really deform and not that attractive...

I found the material is not too stiff but strong enough to hold the shape. And also you can have a pretty inner lining to show off too!

I purchased the interfacing from a local fabric shop and it costs around $7.50 per meter. One tip when you use this material is make sure you iron your fabric before you line 3 pieces together.

Much easier and no creases! Hope all have a lovely day.

Back to basic.

I used to make simple flat bags like this for my kids but I never used a template. This time I followed an intstruction and learned a few tips through making this simple bag. Iron, iron, iron! 

 

Hello!
This site is currently under construction, but what I intend to do is  persue my passion of craft and sewing. I spent nearly 10 years of formal study and work as a food scientist and this experience made me realize what I really wanted to do in my life which is creating stuff by hand. 

I have grown up with seeing my mom being so creative in many differnt areas; gardening, flower arrangment, patchworking, embroydering, sewing, knitting, Japanese brush painting, cooking and so on. Honestly, when I was a young girl I wanted to be an artist. Unfortunely, I received negative advice from my teachers about being an artist... I thought, then as a little girl, I don't think I can make my living selling art...

I had many detours in my life (and may have more detours in future!)but I feel it is time I start trying to do something and try to over come from fears of failure. So, this is my journey and my new chapter and I would like to share it with you (and of course to my mom!).
