My favorite projects:
I made this for my eldest son when he first joined a playgroup. It was his plain painting apron and I wanted to personalize it.
I made this for Akii on his Christening Day. I bought a plain swaddling blanket and customized it with his name on it. It just fits him perfectly...
My very first attempt to sew a baby bootie by hand. Imperfect, humble, raw, sewn with love. It's funny and akward but I'm proud of it's courage. It's only a left bootie because I decided I need to make one that's at least worthy of my little baby before I do a pair. Sadly until now, I couldn't find time to do it again.
With no pattern or sample in hand, I only had to take advantage of my imagination. Using a BeeSquare fabric and from my cut-off shorts left over, a recycled velcro from my mom's bag (thanks momi and sorry!) this little baby came to life.
I know these are not much of a sewing grand parade, but I am enjoying every second of creating them. And tonight is just one of those nights I wished I had my tools.
Gov, I wish we had met in Cebu. Magkasinabot gyud ta. I used to embroider a lot...mostly my peasant tops in college, the ones people thought made me look like a punda. Mga bayot ra'y kasabot sa akong style sauna. It was my grandma who taught me how to embroider and introduce me to different stitches. Yay for homespun embroidery!
