i've finally
finally gotten a
new sewing machine! (: been waiting quite a while to get one, and turns out the one i liked was
twice my budget. ): i got it anyways, so will be making sure that i use it regularly to make it worthwhile (like altering my jeans...hmm...) i was trying to pick out a name for it, and it so happens today's word of the day on dictionary.com is "doughty". it means brave, firm, gusty...kinda like how it was yesterday - sewing through layers of batting and fabric. haha. so
doughty (pronounced dou-tee) it is. (:
so last night and yesterday i was sewing away. i attempted to make a laptop case for andrew, but it turned out too small, so andrew suggested converting it into a cushion case instead! i'll have to get him to take a picture of it for me. anyhoo, the new sewing machine could sew through mesh types of fabrics. so i sewed this ^ for myself. decided it needed a little glitz, so the zipper has rhinestones on it. (: and while at it, i made two small pouches. one will come with a free mesh pouch! uploads as usual on sunday 12.00am! so check the duffel section tmr!
p/s: i altered some mini leather notebooks for my mom the other day.

been experimenting with some different designs for new squiggletown pouches. these are the prototypes :)
and made this for liz. red polka dot (cloth from US, made in japan) pencil case, double-lined (linen lining) with custom butterfly charms in shades of pink and red.
made this cushion cover for andrew. it was going to be a laptop case but was too small. so yea. :p
made this ds pouch for my brother. he chose the fabric himself! the fitting is slightly tight, thats the problem with sewing with batting. battings makes measurements all out of wonk. and i didn't want the pouch to be too lose. so yea.
ladybird - cushion and cushion case.
enchanted forest - pouch for my whiteboard markers and magnets. 
heyy all!
