Kaftan for Izan (Beauty ND Beads)

Assalamualaikum w.r.t....

KK ingin mengucapkan jutaan terima kasih kepada Sis Izan from Beauty ND Beads kerana telah sudi menjadi model pada kaftannya sendiri yang telah KK jahit dan juga kerana kesudian meluangkan masanya mengedit gambar-gambar di bawah.

KK juga minta maaf kerana gambar asalnya tidak begitu terang. Menurut beliau KK kena tukar setting kamera. Perkara-perkara lain tu KK touch-up kepada bentuk kolag kerana malas nak upload gambar satu persatu.

Semasa sessi berfoto kebetulan pula tudung Beauty yang KK beli daripada beliau kelihatan agak sesuai untuk dipadankan dengan kaftan satin berwarna merah anggur ini. Kaftan dikemaskan pula dengan cuff sepanjang 3.5" beropol di bahagian tepi.

Kepada anda yang ingin memiliki tudung Beauty untuk dipakai dihari Lebaran silalah pergi ke :

(KK harap masih ada ruang lagi untuk membuat tempahan...good luck!)

Lately, I am facing problem login to my yahoo mail box. So many questions asked and if I am not mistaken all questions were answered correctly. To date I am very miserable because of that matter and I hope my yahoo email will recover soon.

Meanwhile, for those who would like me to sew one of the above bajus please call or sms me at my mobile : 012-6100892. OR you can send email to my alternatif email address: khatysew@gmail.com

I will be taking orders ONLY for two month starting from April to May 2009. Until than, I will be busy concentrating on my sewing schedule right up to Ramadhan Eve. This mainly because I will stop my sewing activity totally during the month of Ramadhan.

Queues are getting longer though and consequently I have to take emergency leave in order to complete some of the orders on-time. Meanwhile, please place your bookings as soon as possible to avoid frustration and disappointment. Overtaking queue are prohibited (I am sorry to say this).

Thank for your support and may ALLAH be with us always in whatever good things we do.

Take Care

Wassalam

My Thread Organizer

Year end spring cleaning recently done by the Production Department downstairs sometimes bring an advantage to me. Some unwanted item should not be thrown away wasted just like that.

I've got this idea to keep my embroidery thread organized and also to prevent them from tangling around here and there.

The unwanted item is this hard plastic polystyrene material with many 2" slots on it (not sure how deep the hole is). It will take years and years to decompose if your simply throw it into the garbage. Here it is....

First, arrange all threads that you have or available base on colours.

Then, simply press insert all spool available into each slots. Very simple.

Done!..

With this thread organizer can now makes my project easier. I can find the thread quickly when it is arranged in rows by colours. I will keep this huge card in a plastic shield to prevent dust from settling on the threads. Let it stays there for the time being until all the slots are fill up. Till then I will think of another way...

This is not for sale. This is another tips from Kak Khaty towards Ringgit saving.

"demi Palestin"

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim....

Dikesempatan ini, kami sekeluarga ingin merakamkan perasaan hati pilu, sedih di atas kematian, siksaan dan kesengsaraan kepada semua saudara-saudara kita di Palestin. Hari demi hari kita di Malaysia dihujani oleh berita-berita tentang pengeboman dan kita sentiasa berada di dalam kekesalan dan kegelisahan mengenai berita tersebut. Namun, kita hanyalah insan kerdil di bumi Allah hanya mampu berdoa...dan berdoa ...dan berdoa cuma. Selain dari itu kita juga berupaya memboikot barangan US yang ternyata bersengkongkol kepada pertumpahan darah ini.

Wahai anak-anak ku...
pergilah kamu...
pergilah tawarkan tenagamu..

sekurang-kurangnya dengan hanya mengambil bahagian dalam aktiviti "demi Palestin" sedikit sebanyak dapat merengankan beban kesengsaraan saudara-saudara kita di bumi Palestin.

THE BAJU KURUNG PESAK BETAWI

I simply cannot believe how my time fly!. My last post was about my favourite cake which I made because I wanted to have a break and now again another updates about Baju Kurung. As for now I never feel bored on updating my blog.

I came across an article in the newspaper about Kurung Pesak Betawi a few weeks ago. It is another version of Baju Kurng which I have not make before. I really wanted to make one for myself. Basically, it looks simple enough. It would have been simple enough if I would have been so optimistic about my size. I have made it much according to what I wanted to. The fabric that I have chosen was two-pieces two metre silk and bright green in colour. The skirt was plain whilst the baju was flowery.

You can read more about Pesak Betawi here:

www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2008&dt=1029&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Feminin&pg=fe_03.htm

If you have a 'must have' feeling one of this baju kurung for yourself and wanted me to sew it for you, please do so. Just call me at 012-6100892 for further information.

Here's the baju kurung laying flat on the table and how the side (pesak) looks like.

The side (pesak) of the baju kurung were cut diagonally to get the expand and loose effect when wearing.



Here is the skirt laying on the table looks like. I have to join and sew the top front part of the skirt because two metre not long enough.

Here is the blouse hanging on the wall with the simple neck finishing. After posing in front of the mirror for 10 mins and asking opinion about how I look from my image advisor I can conclude that I like this new design and it makes me look slimmer.
