Zip Pouch

Living room is the place where i have been sitting there in this long long break. The coffee table is messy, with papers and rubbish all around, so i close one eye and switch my laptop to another place. Somehow the messiness makes me slacking, ah, like pointing the fingers to it.

Since holidays almost come to an end(ya it is good!), I start packing and rearranging my stuffs. I find selecting stuffs to keep or to throw away can be quite troublesome, because things just get accumulated and I don't know when to use them.

After clearing the tables and the surrounding, motivation comes, like magic. I try sewing a zip pouch this time, which I think I never touch thread & needle after the school's pillow sewing project. Some more the foot paddle helps lot, I don't need to trample the sewing machine and make myself nervous! Hmm, an old kind of sewing machine. And as Amy says, practice makes perfect!

I draft before start sewing. My kiddish draft.



Even though the measurement I set is 12inches length x 9 inches height able to fit A4 papers, but the final outcome is slightly smaller, because I can't sew them straight, so just let it be, flaw means, handmade and heart-made .(O.O)



Hand draw 9 icons that represent what I have done in this long break. It is a flashback, and realise not much things I have done.
