How do I baste my quilt...

Beberapa waktu lalu sempat buat status di FB kalo aku sedang berkutat dengan jarum panjang dan sendok… aku lagi ngebasting quilt…!!

Lho.. kok pake sendok ? untuk apa …

Nah… inilah caraku baste my quilt..

Pertama, hamparkan backing merata di lantai atau meja besar. Biar kainnya gak bergeser geser dan tetep flat aku tempelin pake isolasi.

Yang kedua letakkan batting di atasnya, untuk selimut biasanya aku pakai yang agak tebel, tapi kalau untuk wall hanging atau lap quilt aja aku suka pakai yang tipis, biar gampang ngequiltnya. Yang lebih enak lagi pakai batting yang katun, tipis tapi tetep anget, tapi… mahal banget…

Batting biasanya aku lebihkan besarnya daripada backing dan quilt topnya, karena biasanya agak ketarik saat di quilt.

Setelah itu baru quilt topnya di atas batting. Pelan pelan ratakan quilt top nya. Dan siap untuk di basting.

Gunakan jarum basting yang panjang dan benang warna kontras biar jelas. Mulai dari tengah jelujur ke samping dengan jarak yang sama, kira kira setelapak tangan.

Nah, gunanya sendok disini untuk mengambil jarum yang habis ditusuk ke lapisan kainnya. Biasanya kalau agak tebal dan dasar kainnya melekat di lantai kan susah narik jarumnya, kalau pakai sendok akan gampang dan cepat. Lihat gambar

Lakukan terus sampai selesai dan siap untuk di quilt pake tangan atau mesin.

Selain pakai jelujur, untuk basting bisa juga pake safety pin curved, atau kalau susah carinya bisa juga pake peniti biasa. Yang punyaku di atas aku combine pake pin dan jelujur, atau bisa juga pake basting spray, tapi belum pernah makenya jadi gak tahu kayak apa...

Sebenernya selain basting needle yang panjang ini bisa juga pake curved needle atau jarum bengkok yang besar, tapi aku gak suka makenya… enak pake sendok..

Happy basting…

Apple Cozy

Few days ago I was asked by someone if I knit Apple cozy...
Well I do not knit it but I can do something like this, It's crochet Apple Cozy

She ask if I could make it as a wedding gift, and of course I can...! I was so excited since those apple cozy are really cute and I want to accept her order so much...

But then, she cancel it... *sob..sob...*
It's OK, hope she will contact me again next time and order something...

And...
I just want to share the pattern I made with you, maybe it's a bit different with another apple cozy like the one in Ravelry but I think it's work for me.

So.. just try it...

Cereal Box Puppet

This is for Ahmed's assesment last week.
It's for English assessment, about drama. Students have to make puppet - any puppet - and create their own dialog and show it to class...
Parents need to assist in making the puppet.

I told Ahmed what if I make a rabbit or bear hand puppet from fabric or felt...?
He said no, he wanted puppet from cereal box, and it's about knight ... like his lego knight toys..

Alamaaak... ok my boy, ibu make these for you, promise me to speak loudly in class will you...?

So I made these puppet from cereal box, chop stick and for the hand I sew and make a knot so that he can move the hands .




So... please meet Sir Kentis and Lord Vladek...
*tapi kok jadinya kayak smack down gitu yaa...*
