4yo birthday present 2nd part

I did not make it to continue my craft as planned on Wednesday. Anyway, last night after my late dinner, I manage to cut out my template and trace them on respective color felt. I think they took me less than 10 minutes to cut out from paper template, another 10 minutes to trace and extra 10 minutes to cut out from felt.

So this is how Barney puppet looks like when all the felt were placed accordingly. Haha, sorry for my ugly hat drawing..

So for the following days, I will start sewing all the felt together and the puppet will be ready as present~

Maybe you had missed my first planning on this puppet, feel free to read on my 4 year old birthday present.

4 year old birthday present

In 10 days time will be little worm's 4 year old birthday.

For the past 2 weeks, I was struggling what to give her as birthday present. Last year, I made her a felt birthday cake. Glad to see the cake slices and fruit deco were on the toy plates from time to time ^^

This year I had planned something else. Since she loves to watch Barney show, most probably I will make her a Barney hand puppet to play with her brother and sister. :D

How to make a  Barney puppet? Well, to me sounded simple:

Pouches for little girls

有一位两个孩子的朋友想给孩子一份礼物， 请我给每一个孩子缝制小钱包。 我大概用了好几天完成设计和缝制。 呵呵， 原本想早早给他们寄出去， 无奈一波三折，前天才让我的先生用普通邮寄寄出去， 希望孩子们会喜欢。

颜色选择
有些人也许会问， 为什么不用女生们喜欢的粉色系？
孩子们的爸爸说， 用深色吧， 这样才会耐脏。

单层布料
这次我也减少了布料的成分， 只有单层。当我在准备材料时， 我回想当年穿校裙的情况来推测小女生若要每天带着钱包， 太大或太厚， 想要塞进口袋并不容易， 当下决定放弃双层布料（虽然看了很挺会比较好看）希望可以给孩子带来方便。

特色
图案：每一个图案设计都是参考后再做改良， 网上找不到的。
日起：每个钱包后面还特别缝上孩子的出生日期。
形状：上华德福课之后知道孩子比较适合没有菱角的东西， 所以从原本方形计划变成圆形。

Today's delivery

During lunch my colleague accompany me to post office to drop my parcels. Hm, I guess is because of fasting month, I got scolded when I decided to change on my delivery method XD

I feel bad because I am the customer and I should able to decide which option I should go with right? Sign..

Still remember the pink-grey cases? I did a bad guest and my customer does not like the color, therefore I have to apology and re-do as replacement, I think this should be the way servicing the customer... hope things get better after Raya.

Keep my finger cross...

剪裁前的打扫 spring cleaning before sewing

刚刚忙完本季的工作， 下一季的工作分配下个星期才开会讨论， 现在开始想偷懒不做工了，哈哈哈。。。 连续忙足了一个半月， 后期几乎每天加班到10点多， 回到家根本不想动了。手头上欠客户的手作还有几个，我也只能欠着， 真的感到过意不去。

这两天下班回家都忙着打扫和整理家务， 我的家在高速大道旁， 家里的尘埃可想而知的多，我还一个多月内才扫两次的地，整个家变得不忍惨睹。 还好没有缝制任何手作， 不然全部都占了灰尘， 怎么给人送货呢？

乘新一季的工作还没分配下来， 这两天忙着打扫， 以便可以剪裁和缝制客户特定的包包， 免得再让客户干等。 虽说大家不介意， 但道德上也不能让大家等太久。 想看我接下来的作品请拭目以待吧！ :)

It has been a long while I stopped making my craft due to my heavy work load. For the pass one and half months, I have been working very hard to complete my office tasks and at the peak of my work load I even stay back at the office till late night. By the time I reach home, I am too tired to do anything.

Now while waiting for my new season's job scope, I quickly do some spring cleaning so that I can have a clean place to do my cutting and sewing. Well, living along highway always a disadvantage, the dust you get for a month is unbelievable! Thank god that my customer willing to wait for me for their order, so now I need to quickly clean up and start making my craft!

Keep my fingers cross, by next week you should expect to see some of my new creations. Do drop by next week for a peek of what am I doing yeah!

Safely reach with the new owner

After a long waiting, finally my chess set has safely reached it's new owner.

My customer just dropped me a message saying the chess set is with her sister now and her sister really likes it and showing off at office to her colleagues! hahaha.. When I was told about this, I was extremely happy as the new owner appreciated it! Well, now I'm sure the chess set will be "protected" ^^ not wasting my effort to re-do so many times to make them perfect! :)

Happy happy!

Release for Sales

Still remember my hand sew camera and cell phone case? They are release to sell again. Why? Why? Why? You must be asking why, ain't they are custom made for the owner? Well, long story here...

It was a last minute job to complete as a birthday gift and I had assume my customer would like to have it in grey-pink combination. Ended, she was very disappointed with the cases! I was a bit up sad when I was told that I did not meet her expectation. I wonder why at the beginning and glad that she was willing to share with me why why why she wish to return my custom made cases.

Top: Pink-grey camera case; Bottom: Pink-grey cell phone case

Completed 50% of order

Thanks to MH who place her order at my Pattecraft's FB and before I proceed to make her order, we did some discussion to fine tune the design that she is looking forward.

Really has to thanks her being so patient with me waiting for her order to be made.

Last night I had finally completed her hand phone case and also spent some time to cut the felt pieces for her camera case order. Hopefully by end of this week I will be able to deliver as promised. Cross my fingers now :D

３月份开始班读书会和上课后，　常常让我觉得时间不够用。　就像这个上个月接的订单，　今天才完成一半，　我真的要感谢ＭＨ的耐心等待。　那天我们在面子书第一次聊天就决定让我帮她做一份礼物，　很谢谢她的认同和支持。　现在让她等了那么久，　真的很让我过意不去，　这两天无论如何总得将订单完成，　让她的礼物能及时地送出去。

明天能将作品完成的话就立刻给大家上载看看。。。

Updates: New felt price soon

Dear all, I have an announcement to make today. My felt supply selling price is going to increase effectively from 1 January 2011. The newly revised price will be RM 1.70 per piece*.

* This will be the selling price for incoming stock for A4 size.

The increment is due to China manufacturers are running out of cotton for this winter, therefore my supplier had informed me that the incoming batch will be slightly expensive, and hopefully the price will come down when spring comes.

For those who wish to order the felt supply with RM 1.50 per piece,  please do it faster while my stock last.
