Making...

Wow, it's been a long time, but not a dull time at all for me. I've been real busy at work but over the weekends I've been trying my hands at baking bread, pizza bases, soups and sewing cute little things. Here are photos of my final products. So happy :)

Pizza bases made from scratch with yummy ham, capsicum and rocket topping

Chicken, leek and potato soup with bacon crisps

Jalapeno bread, made with my own two hands!

In this time away I also got a chance to go to Taiwan to attend my cousin's wedding. While there I picked up a bunch of colourful fabric. I intend to use them to make some cool Keyka Lou bags and covers. I made my first ever bag yesterday and I'm seriously proud of how my first sewing project turned out. I get the feeling that I may just get addicted and have to sell them off so I can make more! But they really are super cute, dont you think? Thanks Keyka Lou.


My Journal Clutch turned out kinda tiny. In fact it is so small it's perfect for my mobile phone, so I turned it into a phone case. The flower in the center though was a total fluke, and I'm really quite happy that I somehow positioned the flower right in the middle of the cover so it looks like a flower button. In the future, I might work out how to do it deliberately, nice.

Oh I forgot to mention the fabric used for my Journal Clutch was actually from an old dress I use to wear in summer. It's so nice to repurpose a favourite dress, continue the lovely memories from the summers back in Queensland. I shall be using my new fabric once I'm done practicing (after all, when I started sewing this clutch yesterday I was only confident in sewing straight lines, had no idea if I could even do curves at all, or sew multiple fabrics all at once haha).
