Itty Bitty for a Cute-y...

You might remember the panels I bought (here) and the sweet baby quilt I made from the panel (here). Since I couldn't get enough of the sweetness, I bought 2meters of the soft pink Itty Bitty fabric by Marcus Fabrics and it has been sitting there on my shelf looking pretty for quite sometime now, until a customer requested an all-in-one pouch using the fabric.

I was about to say NO to using my precious but decided against it and agreed to cut into the sweet fabric...

It turned out beautifully (more pictures).. and it was so fun to work with such soft fabric 

I lined it with brown polka dot fabric which I've decided long ago was the only perfect match for this sweetie. 

Then came another commission for a baby quilt using the fabric and I jumped with joy at the prospect of creating something SWEET *grin*

A homemade binding using a soft pink cotton in my stash

MyBotanG baby quilt size is 110cm x 90cm

A soft pink flannel for the back 

After all these, I still have some of this lovely fabric left *HAPPY*

Do you have any precious in your stash..?

Card Holder revisited

I finally managed to take pictures of the card holders, edit and upload them. (blogged here)

I've made some improvements to this batch of card holders and added hand sewn embellishments. 

I have maintained the original features of the card holders; 2 card compartments + 1 zippered compartment, size: 12cm x 9cm

Instead of snap button for closure, I've used magnetic snap button for this batch. They look better but more difficult to sew around them

In addition I hand sew the label with red floss instead of my usual method (machine sew). If you have noticed I've made a new label as well (BotanG'z). I was trying out my DIY label set, and came up with this. Both labels (MyBotanG and BotanG'z) are active and will be in use *grin*

Coming back to my improved card holders, I've also added few embellishments; decorative button and decorative cotton label

This is the only one with a Japanese motif - geisha girls

 What do you think?

My current obsession

I'm currently finishing up these little lovelies.. 

The weather change is making me dormant where I just want to lie still in one place all curled up under a blanket.. *sigh*

Activities like embroidery, knitting and cross-stitching are most conducive at times like this. It made me revisit some old projects (read more here and here). What have you been up to..?
