Table Cloth

I worked on this last sunday early morning when i couldn't sleep after waking up at 11pm --- over slept but still feeling tired after my 2 days of continuous sewing of bed covers from thursday--inspite of being tired --i still manage to do this --- it a simple 3 inch border table cloth ---the finished size is 56" x 102"...

the material has a patchwork print --- suitable to make as a table cloth....


Another Wedding Bed Cover --All White 100% cotton

yes another wedding bed cover and an express one too--imagine i have to get this one done in 24 hours...but alhamdulillah i got everything done...this cover is made of 2 kinds of 100% white cotton. Its not visible in the picture --one is stripe and the skirt has this flower embedded...

the end product...

two cord piping ruffled pillows 28" x 18" , two 16" x 16" square pillows and a matching bolster...you will also notice the french pleated curtain at the back --it is layer with the sheer material -- somehow serve a backdrop effect...

by the way--this cover is a fitted bed cover at the bottom -- that is why it has a very nice well tucked effect---it has a 40" long of garters on the top and bottom corners of the bed...

a closer look at the pillows ---

the bed sides also have the cord piping and a double layered ruffles...the second layer at the bottom is almost 6" in length...

and i match a simple table runner --- in the dressing table...


a sweet outcome of a 24 hour project ;-) ... simply sweet and nice--my best wishes to the newly weds.....

From Duvet Cover to a Single Fitted Cover Set

This is another project this month that involved a duvet cover --it is not common in most malaysian homes to be using duvet covers ---most of us will be just too happy to have a comforter instead right? saves tha time of changing the covers...

So as not to waste the duvet that my client seldom use--we go green --hahahha--thats the 3R concept Reduce,Reuse, Recycle... my client has decided to covert it to a single fitted bed cover, and i manage to make 2 flange pillows 28" x 18" with cord piping and the matching cord piping bolster...

viewing from a different angle..

the pillows at a closer look ....somehow i manage to place the lace that was on the duvet ---

i am happy now --- duvet was saved and now reuseable fitted bed cover*which by the way fitted perfectly at all times) ... so lets go green?

From Duvet Cover to a Comforter

This is originally a duvet cover bought by my client overseas...must be more convenient for her to convert this to a comforter--so it was send to me---my job was to insert the fiberfill and quilt it..this is the 1st stage..inserting the fiber and pinning everything in place..

almost halfway done..

the finished product --now its a comforter 100% cotton

More Curtains...

Testing my latest work -- yup, this time it is green..sweet---this is the header for the door..40inch with double layer header of box pleat and ruffled pleat-taking the same effect of pencil pleat---and accentuated with bows..


This is partly the header for the sliding door that is 112inches wide.

This is the curtain for the 3rd bedroom - header and body both sewn together w/ bias strip.

When i get the actually hanged pictures i will post it asap!--thanks for following the updates...

February Bedcover

The material for this project is bought overseas--so it was very limited --- and since it is thai silk, my client want something that is light to handle and easy to remove when one wants to sleep on it..so it was more on a slip on bed cover, frilled around the bed...and i manage to get 2 simple pillows ...

;-) testing it ...

Duvet Cover

Duvet cover --more or less the malay version of "toto cover" - a mini mattress that is around 2inch thick - my friend did this patchwork--her collection of her excess materials--nice combination ... and what i did is quilt it to another cotton material and sew it as a duvet cover....

simply nice...her grand children will have a grand time messing it up ;-) hehe...

Table Cloths & Table Runners

Work & sew on table cloths--may it be round or square--there are times when there are excess materials and most of the time making a matching table cloth is the best idea..this one below is an oblong shape table cloth--since it is round on the ends the border must be bias cut...

the finished project..


the making .....
you just have to pin and balance it nicely and iron it before sewing ....
must be able to balance certain parts like this...


A table runner with fringes :

this is a long one--120 inch long table runner..


This is a version of the malay safra -- 3ft x 5ft long with 3 inch border...




Sofa Covers from USJ

The chair cover ---material is a velvet greenish in color...this is fitted in and stapled and snap on the chair due to pull & stretch it into place...

the finished product ..my AFTER :


This is BEFORE :



More pics of the chair ....


The old chair got itself a new look and the good part is that it has now a skirt at the bottom --box pleated in the corners and also cord piping ... this is a fitted cover --no zips at the back...



Cushion and sofa covers :

this is AFTER :


This is BEFORE :


Jehaan's Crib

This curtain is all installed in a one layered railing --yes--all 4 layers of curtains are all sewn together and hung to this one layer railing --the day and night curtain and the header that is curved with bias on the edges and balance to this bay window---the rosettes accentuates the whole design.


the sofa chair cover - 3 seater

the two seater chair cover -


the guest room ---french pleated -



A matching table cloth --
