Smiling Cat thumb drive casing

How do I gain this casing or storing idea? Well it started when I pay a visit to a local IT shop. In the shop I saw a variety of casing for pen drive/ thumb drive/ usb flash drive. It triggers me!

After came home that evening, I spent some time drafting on paper and making it later.

1. I started with a cat face drawing
2. Then measure the size of thumb drive that I have
3. Trace the size and image of the smiling cat on felt and cut the pieces accordingly
4. Sew the cat face
5. Stuff in polyester in the face pieces
6. Sew the cat body to the back of the face

The case size approximately is 2.5 x 1 inches, which can easily fit in an old huge model of pen drive that I have.

Suddenly another brilliant idea came to my mind, I can actually use this case to keep my earrings or other accessories. I can use it as a gift wrap too~

Anyone who interested to make your own, please contact me for further details.

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。
