The Front of the pouch
THe back of the pouch
I made a very small Japanese Pouch today.
The pattern is as followed:
http://www.fjx.co.jp/sewingcom/gallery/make4/pouchdai.html
I didn’t know that the smaller the size, the harder to sew.. !
First of all, for the lining, it’s way to hard to sew it nicely, I undo it twice, and finally gave up!
without lining, it looks really ugly, like 'unfinished'....
So, this pouch is not successful, I don’t think I can use it anyway, it’s just too ‘light’ the fabric that if I put something inside the pouch , the shape of the pouch will change (really ugly! I don’t even want to take a picture of it.)
So, I think, I am not ready to make something SMALL.
Second thing is: the curves… it’s so hard to sew the curve lines, it’s just … HARD!!!!!
I should do more practice on straight lines first before I make something curly.
Note : the fabric that I used for the top was bought from MacFab, it already has the embroidered pattern on the fabric, isn’t decent? For the bottom, I bought it from L.A. Fabric which is on sale at the back of the store. (It’s WOOL, very soft! )
Wish me good luck for the next project,
I am going to make a tote bag…
Oh , I should knit… , I still have a bag to knit for my swap partner!
may be I knit in the morning & night, and then Sew in the afternoon. (Thanks God that Erika does take few naps in a day.. and let me do some crafty stuffs… )
I made this little pouch with a handle on top…
but, wondering what’s for. hahaha
I made it up on my own, no pattern.
I actually like the handle that way, but I want to make the pouch like a little rectangular ‘tube’ shape…
now, it looks like a tissue bag…

The yarn that I am using for Angle (Kauni)
After the long weekend, everything is back to normal.
I didn’t touch the needles in the weekend, but I picked them up again yesterday.
Angle, the 1st section
I started a new project by Tora Frøseth Design ; her designs are very modern and special.
I bought two patterns from her, and the one that I began is Angle.
the first section of Angle
The size that I am working on is for 12 -24 months. I am still struggling if I shall make it for my friend’s son and Erika.
The yarn that I am using is Kauni wool, it’s not very SOFT though, but I knew that it will soften a bit after wash. So, I will see how it goes.
I also started a big project: blanket for my friend’s son. I hope I can get it done soon…

pouch for swap partner, with fusible inside.
I did some sewing as well, I did one pouch again (this time, not sew by hand, it’s by machine) for my swap partner, and the other little bag is for ‘practice only’. but, somehow, I really like it and I think I will use this bag for holding small things such as Erika’s little box of Cheerios/ little bottle of water. It’s great to hold these items while shopping in the mall with her.

I think I started to fall in love with sewing, because it’s fast to finish a project, if you compare with the speed of knitting.
Of course i won’t put down the needles, I still have lots of fun to knit. 
In the past weekend, we went to Niagara Fall, and then we came back on Sunday and had dinner with my parents.
On labour day, we did go out for lunch with my parents (and grandma too) , and then we all went to Chuck E cheese again! Afterwards, we went to Vaughan Mills Mall as well, however, didn’t buy anything (oh well, just a single scoop of ice-cream from Laura Secord ,haha!) My dad helped us to take lots of pictures (about 300 pictures!!) Since there were so many of them, i didn’t have ‘energy’ to organize them. But once I get it done, I will post the best ones up.
(also some video clips as well..)
I know I’m not good in sewing, but I would like to practice more from now on.
I have a sewing machine, but I would love to sew by hands first. (It’s quieter , because I usually do crafts while baby is sleeping.)
This is the first little pouch sewing by me.
I love this fabric, it’s bought from an online store called Tonic living.
good service with nice fabric choices.
