tutorial : easy towel bib

I've been feeling guilty because I've been making a lot of girly stuff for my friends and non for lil Aqil..hehehe...but I didnt know what to make him..there's not many choices for boys..

when I went into Cotton on for Kids at Pyramid last Sunday, I saw these cute bibs selling for RM15 (original price rm29)...belek2...hmm...this is easy to make...Aqil is at the stage where he's playing with his saliva all the time..his top is always wet, and the mother always get nagged by the grandparents to put a bib on him...hehe...Aqil have limited pieces of bibs coz the mama only wants to buy the cute ones..and they aint cheap..hahaha...teruk betul..but now..no more....coz mama can make for you...and it doesnt cost that much..hehe

One of the bib I made him..



and to share the love ..

what you need:

1. Hand/face towel
2. Cotton fabric/ Old tshirt
3. Velcro
4. Coordinating thread



Cute the cotton fabric, the same size as ur towel



Mark the middle and draw a circle, for my case, I used a 4 inch diameter circle..;



something like this.



take a 3 x 4 inch fabric, sew and turn inside out and sew at one of the opening at the top. cut the line above the circle before you do this.



you'll get something like this..



sew the sids, and the circle... fabric and towel right sides together...leave a 2 inch opening at the bottom.... (if not clear, kindly refer to the picture above)



2 inch opening at the bottom



Cut the circle



before turning inside out- make slits inside the circle



turn right side out and u'll get something like the above..



sew on the velcro on the top part of the bib



and topstich arounf the bib (this is optional)



tadaaa!! ur done... simple right??



you can actually wear it bothways.. but of course you want the cute part outside



i made 4 for aqil...the two on the left I used my old tshirts..hehehe...



Hope you guys like the tutorial..and good luck!!! ;)

weddings i like

when it comes to wedding, I prefer the days before the wedding, the preparation, the kecoh-ness of the situations [of course when its someone else's wedding and not mine!lol!].. i love doing the door gifts and the hantarans and getting all kepochi about the wedding dress bla bla bla..

last weekend was my cousin's wedding, and of course I was there to lend a hand... :)









this was my first time trying to do a pelamin..[mom volunteered me out of the blue - of course she helped also - and my super creative aunties] it was nothing fancy..just something simple for the nikah ceremony..






it didnt really turned out the way I imagined it to be..but I guess it was OK for my first try..plus we did it in 4-5 hours..very2 limited time..considering all that...cousin loved it btw [of course she had to say that kan..huhu..] sorry laa lin..kami budak baru belajar!


I actually had a fever since wednesday [oh-the-sacrifices we make for our family! hahaha] , I was coughing and sneezing all day, and since I am breastfeeding my son, ofcourse eventually he had to catch something from me..sian dia.. he had a temperature and a running nose for 2 days..but him being the mommy's little son..he was laughing and playing with anyone who held him..mcm tak demam langsung..huhu..

took him to the clinic on the 2nd day..no fever then, just running nose..Granpa orders.. doctor said " apelaaa papa you ni..sihat2 bawak you g klinik...aktif jer ni..." hahaha... at last, she didnt charge us anything.. mak die jer yg kene amek gas sbb cannot breathe..haihhh...



tertido while waiting for our turn..









**cant wait for the next wedding..

the mood is back!

received these last week :



was so stressed with work at the time, and these really helped to ease the stress ;)

made these:



pencil case for cousin aye who is going to start teaching soon [good luck! ;)]



camera case for myself - it was actually meant for Aye's HTC, but it was a bit big for it, so dapat laa kat my new baby.. ;)



the polka-dot lining - i like!



mom's n mine blackberry pouch.. ;) [but Syiqin wanted mine for her diamond, so being the good sister that I am.. ;) ]



every night at home i'm itching to make more n more stuff..but...

clothes needs to be washed and folded
dinner needs to be cooked
Aqil's bottles needs to be washed and sterilized

and most importantly...

Aqil wants his mom on bed with him until he sleeps... *adoiii* manje!
