I always keep a handy notebook in the bag. Why not create matching notebooks?!!
Make them in 2 sizes, - A 5 - 75 pages, A 6 - 50 pages
Notebooks are refillable.
Closure - leather strap with magnetic button.

These are matching to Rohani, Spring purple flowers.

In between making bags I make time to have some Yasin covers done. This time I pick up this beautiful fabric in yellow and brown.




Such lovely gifts to receive.

Wedding Gifts

On February 14th, I went to my friend, Jun, wedding reception for her two elder sons. It was a simple yet lovely ceremony, at the new Naza hotel , Tangjung Bungah. I went with my whole family,-- managed to persuade Omar to come along.

After making the Yasin covers for Alin, gave me the idea how to present my gifts for wedding couples. I used the same velvet material for the gifts.

A lovely book of guidance, befitting a new couple starting a new chapter of life together. I made a beautiful book cover of embroidered velvet with organza ribbon and tassel.

The pink wrapped book is put inside a dark green box. The contrast is lovely.
The dark green wrapped book is put inside a pink box.

I make this arrangement purposely so that which ever they choose to be theirs, they will still get both colors to enjoy.

The book is suitable for bedside reading or for the coffee table. The box is multi-purpose. My hope is that, they will enjoy and benefit from my gifts.

Surah Yasin Covers

Alin requested a set of Surah Yasin covers for her khenduri activities. She also requested the color ,...green. An opportunity for me go shopping,...yeah. I came across these 2 beautiful material. Bought myself a meter each, went home and start to work on them and I came out with these.

This first choice of material is velvet piece embroidered with flowy leaves and floral motif. I then decorated it with velvet ribbon with a tassle at the end. This will act as a marking tool, for the pages.

It took quite a while for me to figure out how to do this considering the thickness of the material. Honestly, I would like to avoid unnecessary bumps at the corners and foldings, so I decided to use a thinner material for the lining inside.

This is the second material. Pleasant combination of green and mustard stripes.

I hope I can get some ready for Alin. She need 30 pieces for a khenduri, she planned at the end of January. InsyaAllah.

Fresh green

A group of us, mothers from the kid's school, pool in for a gift, for a friend who is going to perform the umrah. Green is the receiver's favourite color, so I put together this gift.

Since she's going with her husband, we provide for both. A piece of telekung for her and a piece of kain pelekat for him

I wanted to create a gift that will last, so I decided to make a box that she can use after the content is taken out.
Box lid is clad with mint green paisley printed canvas. Box bottom is clad with lime green textile suede. Box measures 30 cm x 23 cm x 8 cm.

Gift viewed from all angle.

I want that all angle look interesting and attractive. Here, I use fresh potted plants. They help to add freshness and crisp to the ensemble.
