Just so u know, I have always love printed. Be it on scarves, tops, or skirts. I personally think that it’s a perfect combination to highlight a simple plain outfit. But printed pants? I have never had the courage to try wearing it on public. Errr, somehow a printed pants does reminds me on pyjamas (?)
I even read somewhere that printed skirts or pants is a big ‘no’ for pear-shape girls. It’s best to avoid from wearing those printed as bottom wear since it will emphasize more on the bottom part. But, hey it’s just hard to resist! I’m so into printed pants right now :’)
So I google for some inspiration on how-to-pull-off those printed pants, and found these. OMG, Cantiknya! Cantiknya! Like seriously, can someone tell me where to get those pants? I’m drooling all over the pics. But still wondering if I would be able to pull off the style. Herm.

I really think that I need to stop from buying more fabrics. The stash keeps on growing despite the fact that I don’t really have the time to sew. I just love fabric shopping! Perhaps, the remaining fabrics can even last for months’ project. Phew.
I have these fabrics from Amy Butler and Michael Miller collection, they are really beautiful which make me feel that it will be a waste to keep them laying in stash. So it’s better to let them go to new owner, who can turn them into beautiful projects. I’m willing to sell off these beautiful fabrics at a very reasonable price, please check em out! :)

After few days of being sew-less, I remembered that I’m still having 1 project to be settled. It’s the crafty swap project which is organized by kak Zura. We already knew our swap’s partner few weeks back, but I was like delaying to start on the project due to workloads. Seriously, the assignments and presentations are killing me!
So for the swap thingy, I will be receiving something from Ajjah 3f’s and is required to sew something for kak Rosh from Roshey’z Craftworld. Initially, I was planning to sew any kind of clothing for her. But considering that I have almost reached the dateline, I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to finish the project on time. Thus, I decided to opt for a simpler project which is a tote bag.
Among all of the available tote bag tutorial I have ever come across, I found this tutorial from Tini Happy as very helpful. The description and pictures are just perfect for a true beginner. Definitely I will recommend this for those who are interested to have their 1st attempt on bag sewing. Try this!

Oh. One thing that I love about this pattern is because of it’s reversible. Yes I have always had a thing about reversible stuffs. It’s like buy-one-free-one item. Lovely! :)
