ok. yang ini tak perlukan kemahiran mengait pun.

simple yet adorable. kan?

sebab saya mahu kekalkan momentum untuk terus menjahit, maka saya perlukan sesuatu yang boleh menjadi motivasi. contohnya dengan menjahit bersama-sama.

2 yang saya mahu buat untuk minggu depan dan seterusnya (minggu ni saya pergi bercuti ya, lalalala...) adalah dari zura dan tinihani. giler tamak nak buat 2 sekali kan. takpe takpe. cita-cita kena tinggi.

ok. yang pertamanya dari tinihani.

Rixarixa: Sleeveless dress

saya mahu buat yang ini dulu sebab ada pattern free. dress berbentuk A-line adalah yang hampir tak pernah saya buat kecuali mula-mula jahit dress dulu. lepas tu tak buat dah. sebab lagi senang yang ada kedut-kedut kat pinggang atau dada tu, semua lurus. sebab bila nak buat A-line memang elok buat atas kertas dulu sebab ada lengkung pada belah bawah dan ada garis senget di kiri kanan. hahaha.. giler malas.

lepas saya buat yang ni, saya nak ikut zura dalam sew alongnya pulak.

Ottobre Sew Along

walaupun saya tak ada majalah tu, rasanya saya boleh modified sikit dari pattern free atas tu kot. tengoklah nanti cemana hasilnya, entah jadi entah tidak. kalau jadi, buleh tayang kat sini. kalau tak jadi, potong balik buat patch work. hahaha.. harap-harap jadilah yer... pssttt.. zura, boleh tolong bagi gambar besar sikit tak? yang ada tulisan rome kat tengah-tengah tu? :P hehe..

jom jom jom! sapa nak join lagi?

just a simple click, & you'll know how to decorate your cakes.

good luck!

=)

saya sedang mengumpul bahan baru.
harap-harap ada masa

Ribbon Embroidery
Ribbon embroidery is not as exact as other forms of needlework. There are as many variations to these stitches as there are designers who use them. The size of the stitch and how they are used (singly, in a row, or in a mass) and the size of the ribbon will all have an effect.

Five Basic Stitches
There are many different embroidery stitches, but I've found that just five basic stitches, used alone or in various combinations, can create a large array of floral motifs and stitch patterns. The ribbon stitch is for ribbon only, but the lazy daisy, straight stitch, stem stitch, and French knots can be made with ribbon or thread. Try them, and you'll see that the ribbon produces a different effect with each stitch.

Five stitches to add to your repertoire
When used in various combinations, the straight stitch, ribbon stitch, lazy daisy, French knot, and stem stitch can produce lively, rich-looking embellishments for garments, quilts and home furnishings. Here are five more of my favorite stitches. When used together with the five basic stitches mentioned above, you can create a forest of flowers, leaves, and stems.
