Birdie Patchwork Pouches



These are my patchwork pouch,
they are fully handsewn using flex frame...
and a combination of cotton & linen cotton fabrics.


One pink birdie, and a yellow birdie...
with small patches of polka dots prints
& a simple hand crocheted flower for each of them!
Both the patchwork pouches are lined with polka dots cotton fabrics.




The pink colour birdie patchwork pouch will be kept for myself!
...but the yellow one will be going in my etsy shop.

In love with tatting... doily


My second attempt in tatting...
I tatted a pink doily!
A pretty and easy pattern indeed.


Actually I must admit that I made two mistakes on the doily...
however, I was too lazy to undo them!
Not sure if you can spot the mistakes...



Anyhow, not too bad for a beginner...
I definitely need more practice in tatting,
practice makes perfect, right!


Hopefully some of you will learn this craft...
the outcome is just beautifully amazing!
You will love it too..

New project with my new yarns; pastel coloured 100% cotton yarns.
 They are a series of very simple flower crochets;
they are quite small in size;
make perfect crochet embellishments! 



I simply love small and quick projects;
they are so fun and relaxing!



Hope you love these flower crochet embellishments!
Have a great week, my friends...

In love with tatting...



Tatting is just knots,
made on a thread and pulled together to form
chains and rings...
the art of lace making. 

My new love... tatting!


The technique and material are simple;
which makes it into a fascinating needlework.
Tatting dates back to the early 19th century
...a timeless needlework with many possibilities.



I love tatting because it is so exciting, and a relaxing needlework. 
Seeing my mother's beautiful tatting doilies 
have inspired me to learn this technique.



So far, this is my first attempt, I had managed to produce 
a series of beautiful butterflies and flowers.
