SEWING TUTORIAL: Baby Rattle (giling-giling alias kecrekan bayi)

 

Giraffe Baby Rattle

This one I made for my friends babies.

So easy to make. So few material needed. And so little time consumed.

All you need are these:
                    

You see the plastic bottle? The one that I used was a shampoo bottle from hotel toiletries. Then I put buttons inside the bottle, so when it is shaken,  it will make some sound and this will encourage baby to shake it more.


It is just like you make any other stuffed animal toy. Cut fabric as the pattern, and sew around the edge, but don't forget to put ribbon for the horns a tail. Leave approximately 5 cm open for the way to stuff fiber fill and plastic bottle.

This is how I put the plastic bottle inside, I wrapped the bottle with fibber fill so the toy is still felt soft when being hold by babies.  Lastly, close the opening with invisible stitch.

Finally, when you've done with your toy, give it to an expert to calculate  the grade of cuteness and fun of this little thing would generate .....

Camera strap cover and charger cable pouch

Kamera mirrorless ini kado ulang tahun dari suamiku. Tapi...dasarnya diriku jiwanya penjahit...bukan pemotret, bukannya buru-buru belajar photography malah sibuk ngedandanin kameranya..
Xixixixi..... (＠⌒ー⌒＠).

Ini buatnya pakai kain Jepang. Waktu itu ada di Daisho, Kota Kasablanka. Ternyata, aku bandingkan dengan yang dijual online, lebih murah. Pas beberapa minggu setelah itu kesana lagi, niatnya mau borong....eee...sudah nggak ada. Nyesel..sel..sel.... gak beli banyak sekalian..  (´⌒´)

 

Truss.... gara-gara pakai kemera yang didandanin pake strap cover, jadi ada yang request deh.. Ini request kado HUT kakakku.

Lemon Rug

So yummy......

SEWING TUTORIAL: Earphone Cable Winder

Earphone Cable Winder

 If you just look the things, you might not know what this is right away. I posted it at my facebook wall for few days to see whether my friend and families could guess it.   And  I was right, without any clue, they couldn’t  guess what the function of this thing.

Anyway, this is an earphone cable winder. I can say that this is original, since most of the time, before making any sewing project, I start with browsing internet to find ideas, pictures or even patterns. But for this, I just couldn’t find anything to start with.  Sure there are some images of cable winder, most of them are in shape of fish bone, or animal made from plastic or rubber. But when I tried to find something that I can sew, I didn’t find it.

So why not invent one? Sure an animal shape would be cute, but it must be quite hard to sew a small thing neatly with sewing machine. So I made more simple shape.

These was what  I needed to make my project:

- Some  scraps of cotton fabric

- Fusible interfacing (optional)

- Polyester fiber fill (or cotton) for stuffing

- A button

- paper and pen

- color matching thread

 How to make: 

1.  Cut fabric :

- One rectangular scrap,  size 9 cm x 16 cm, fold it half, right side out. This is for the pocket.

- Two rectangular scraps, size 9 cm x 12 cm (mine are dotted and  flower) these are for the body of winder

- one rectangular 20 cm x 3.5cm, fold it half. This is to make strap with the button hole

Cut pattern:

- make the pattern (you can follow my simple shape or make your own) on a piece of paper and cut it

Note: if your fabric is a medium / light  weight cotton, I suggest to fuse the interfacing on wrong side of each fabric scraps for the body to make them more firm.

2.

  Place your scraps for body right side together, an insert a half folded scrap fabric for pocket between two scraps to make sandwich like picture bellow, and pin them.

  3.

Copy pattern on to the sandwich. Sew on the line but leave some part unsew  for turn right side out later

4. 

This is what you get it after sew and trim the excess. Don’t forget to leave 0,5 cm  for seam allowance

5.  

 Turn rightside out, and stuff it with fiber fill. Before stuffing, I sew a narrow and smal zigzag stich around the edge, but its quite difficult to sew it neatly, (you see, mine is quite messy), maybe it will be easier if you sew straight stich,  or just skip this step if you want to.

  

6.   

Now you can insert the strap and sew it close. Sorry, I forget to take picture of how to make the strap. Well,  It just a strap, and make it a button hole at edge. Then, sew a button on this small pillow, where the button hole would be landing.

That’s all. You’re done !

And this is how it is used

And this one was a present for my niece, Aqila...
