Tutorial: Gathered Netbook Sleeve

Hye, this is the simple tutorial that i've promised to all.
Thank you for Anna and Whipup for the gorgeous idea that u've shared:)


Materials Needed:


1/2 yard of each fabric (off course you'll have scrap leftover)
10" velcro tape
Fusible wadding (pellon or batting)
Iron-on Interfacing

Cutting the pieces:
#1 - Cut 2 pieces of different fabric :
one 18" x 10" for main exterior [for gathered front side]
one 13.5" x 10" for main interior lining

#2 - Cut 2 pieces of different fabric:
two 13.5" x 10" for exterior and interior lining [back side]

#3 - Cut 2 pieces of different fabric:
two 13.5" x 6" for exterior and interior lining [cover]

front band - cut one piece 13.5" x 5"

velcro tape - I use 10"

Front band

Gathered front

Pre-Attaching Steps
  • Iron the interfacing to all lining pieces
  • It is very helpful if tou have iron on batting coz you may simply iron the batting to all the exterior fabric:) except the gathered one.

Please do this step before attaching the pieces together. Main reason I use this pic is because I don't capture the 'in the making' one:)

  • Stitch the exterior cover piece with the main exterior together [gathered piece]. Do the same to the lining pieces.
  • Stitch all the exterior pieces together. Do the same for the lining pieces.
  • Assemble the exterior piece and the lining piece. [right side facing each other - right side in] left a 3" hole to turn the netbook sleeve right side out.
  • Press with iron for a neet look specially at the corner and edge
[So sorry, I am very eager to finish the sleeves that's why I forgot to capture those pictures. Hope you can understand this part correctly]

Voila! Now your gathered netbook sleeve is ready to be used:)
Happy trying, if you have any question, do email me at ila_0902@yahoo.com

My 1st Netbook Sleeve

Hye...

At last I came up with a new product. Manage to sew this netbook sleeve today...
I'm so happy and planning to do a simple tutorial on this product.
I think it would be better said as gathered of a few tutorials [will mention the website too, of course:)] and I've summarize it into my product with my new picture...

Will update soon.

What I love bout this sleeve is the touch of aqua polka dotted fabric on the gathered dandy damask fabric...It's an innovation hehehe... Tq Anna from Noodlehead [gathered cluth tutorial]
Love the effect of fabric gathering:) [macam puji diri sendiri lah pulak, tak sebenarnya.... saya suka sebab tak pernah buat:)]

okies, till then:)

Holiday Project 1 : Placemat

Hye,

It's been almost 3 months since the last time I update the blog with a new product. Miss the blog so much. Feels like crazy, and I'm dying to start the crafting project again.

So, for the 1st project I've sewn a placemat for my hubby's cousin wedding present. I thought of using IKEA fabric from Fredrika but at last I use my 'batik sarawak' fabric. This fabric is actually a sarong, but since this ceremony is quite special, I think using this special fabric is an extra bonus for the recepient. Is it?

After sewing the 1st placemat, I think I should use the medium batting instead of medium fusible. The placemat turn to be a bit 'light and lembik' :)

So, I'll sew a new set because the gift should be a special one, am I rite?

Combination of 3 colours - white, black and red.
I add a black ribbon to create an extra touch to the placemat.

Produced by : Cut&Sew
The motive of the fabric is known as 'pucuk rebung' I guess:)

Tadaa...hope that the bride and groom will love it...

Selamat Pengantin Baru Fairuz and Diyana.
