My 1st Manjalara

Applying the manjalara technique to my baju kurung pesak gantung (again)...

bahagian lengan

Masih belum berani untuk bermain dengan warna. I admit that is my weakness. Beading kena belajar teknik pilihan warna supaya seri baju dapat dinaikkan. Fabrik yang berlubang ni agak sukar utk di beading, suppose kena letak kain gam at the back, tapi masa ni ilmu masih kurang...tak mengapa...belajar dari kesilapan...

The Sequin

I lurve wearing baju kurung pesak gantung...so I'm addicted sewing it ONLY. I can finish sewing it for just 1 day. This is japanese cotton, motif kain agak sarat. At first memang no idea how to beads the baju eventho ada jugak berkali kali cari idea from internet, so finally this is the outcome:

My 2009 Baju Raya

Baju raya 2009 is fully 100% hasil titik peluh and kerja tangan sendiri. Berkat usaha, kerajinan, ketekunan dan kegigihan semasa attend kelas jahit di SmartSkills.

Sorry, beads kurang jelas, kiranya this is my first project for my own, so kurang memuaskan..but masih belum putus usaha..

My 1st project

This would be my first beading project, assigned by my colleague Felicia...to re-beads her daughter's baju raya:

Introduction

It's all started from a hobby..and still a hobby ;)

From sewing a fake barbie doll wedding dress to tulang belut and karipap for my aunty's baju kurung, from  tulang belut to sewing pencil case and coin purse, from coin purse to making potpourri, home decos and hairbands, from potpourri to sewing my kuliah's baju kurung, from kuliah's baju kurung to office wear baju kurung and now beadings.

Finally I have the guts to create this blog, all about my beadings by me (mymanik by myelsakee)..
