Last week my so-called sewing teacher asked me to joined her to go for a handmade class to learn on making a handbag. I found it something interesting .thats why I agreed to joined her. before that, I have read about the person through her website just to get some idea and to know more. nervous me ;). Ok, say no more here are the sneak peek from the class which will take around 4-5 hours depends on the handbag you want to make.by the way it is a kinda private class with only two of us .it is appointment base made before going to the class...

So I choose metal frame handbag pattern. Firstly we need to trace to the cloth we want.   

Here you are provided with beautiful fabric for you to choose...so I want this combination.

Some measurement

This is what we call bone to align the cloth correctly after we have sewed it

Some clips to adjust appropriately

It is coming...da nampak daaahh.

Some tools for the belt, punching holes...

Some final touch up

Tadaaa...i chose sling belt as it easy for me rather than short handle...you can request her what do you want.

Done with my little sister nikah beads alteration. It's more eye tiring rather than doing all new thing from the beginning.

Ok. This is our family dress for the wedding reception. I just bought the sequin laces and patch it at the end of both hand of the cloths, and I saw some blue and pink pearl to enhance it. I can't help to not doing it. It just because of my passion and interest. Pearl, beads, Manik, bling. You want to make an order? :p

Beads Class with Nora Manik

Remembering way back in 2009, while I was enjoying my jobless time after my marriage day, I joined the beading class with my best friend, Normah. The course was conducted by Nora Manik. During the class, we learned so many designs which I could remember the most famous model named shimmering flora. Here is some of the design that we learn.

Design that we learn. Looks like easy but u have to try it first. ;p

Before attending this class, I just do the beads by using my own imagination. Now I have some idea n reference to refer to.U can have a look at my collection of pearls.

The collections.

The collections.

I managed to found the picture that they at that time wayyy back in February 2009. Come to think of it, it worth knowledge to be expert about. At least I can bead for my own dress :)

I realised that we are entering the same class with Zai butterfly beads.
