Toko Bahan Craft di Kuala Lumpur

Sahabat Craft,

Sebagai seorang crafter, kemanapun kita pergi rasa rasanya selalu ingin tahu dimanakah toko bahan bahan craft berada, apalagi kalau kita mendapat info sebelumnya bahwa bahan craft di daerah tersebut bagus dan murah.

Jalan jalan sambil belanja bahan craft memang mengasyikkan, sekalian sambil mencari ide dan inspirasi dari toko toko craft yang ditemui di perjalanan.

Kuala Lumpur, tetangga dekat kitapun banyak terdapat toko craft yang menarik untuk disinggahi. Beberapa toko craft berlokasi di mall mall besar, so siapa tahu pas kebetulan jalan bisa sekalian mampir belanja bahan craft.

Around the World Blog Hop

Last week I was tagged by Elveera in this event .. Around The World Blog Hop ...
Sounds interesting, but I said that my blog is not active, I did not updated it for months ..
She said it's OK, this is your chance to reactivate the blog ... oh well .. she's right ..

Thanks to Elveera - Phiphi - for tagging me ..

So  The rule for this blog hop is simple, you just have to answer these 4 questions ... *it's not that simple for me ... huhuhu ...*

1. What am I working on ?

Oh well .. I am a person who want to do a lot of things ... 

I always have more than one project .. eerrr .. one crochet, one knitting, one quilting, one sewing ... hahaha  ...

These are my WIP for the moment :

1. Gryffindor shawl for my son

He will have hallowen party at school the end of this month, and the teacher said that this year the house will be like in Harry Potter's school. And he will be in Gryffindor's house, so he ask me to knit this shawl .... 

2. Ginko shawl

This shawl is actually the KAL project with Indonesian knitter for last month, since I was doing my Haruni shawl I didn't start casting on until my Haruni was finish, so while all my friends are finish their project, I just started it ... and now, doing my son's shawl make me pending  this ginko again ... 

3. Sewing Project collaborating with friend

My friend and I have a dream to compose a craft book, and we working hard on it. Sorry can not tell now, just hope that we can make our dream come true..

4. and some other projects that I almost forget hahaahha ....

2. How does my work differ from others of its genre ?

I think my works are not as different with others, I don't have a signature art work or any specialties.

I like simple design, bright colors ..

3. Why Do I Create What I do?

Why ? the answer is definitely because I like it ... I like what I am doing ..

I enjoy the process of choosing design, material and happy when it's done ... 

For these past 8 years I often give my handmade as a gift for friend, they know it's my handmade, they like it and I am even happier when they like what I made.

My friends knew me as a crafter, they always ask if I made the stuff myself, even if it's look impossible for me to make it they always ask ... do you make it yourself ? hahaha ...

4. How Does My Creative Process Work ?

Usually it starts with a specific purpose, for example I want to make a blanket as a gift for a friend's newborn baby or I want to make a bag for my son's art equipment.

So I have to decide what color to choose, what material to use, what type of design and sometimes just follow my mood.

It's not that easy though, choosing color and design may take days to decide as I have a medley of different types of fabric and yarn. 

I always want to do my best, and try to finish the project as soon as possible .. even though  some of it may be postponed due to another new project I have to finish first.

Sometimes I make my own design, for this process I make the design first, and look for the material, comparing here and there, adding this and adding that ... I really like this process .. although sometimes it's very frustrating also  ...

Well ... that's about me and my hobby.. 

It's my turn to tag my creative friends now ... 

who will it be ? I did not visit any blogs recently, ever since there is Facebook I am more active in facebook rather than in blog.

But I try to tag these very talented ladies to joint the fun..

1. Thata Pang of Dinamic Crochet. She is one of my teacher and my inspiration. She can do almost everything ... 

2. Kenti in Needlenoodle .. she is my best friend .. always work hard and very creative lady ..

3. and ... mbak Dini of Capung Mungil, she is a very talented lady .. I always enjoy her creative design and artwork.

Let's hear their story next Monday ...

Have a nice weekend ...

Twister Quilt Blok Tutorial

                      

Sudah lama penasaran pengen bikin Twister ini, tanya ke beberapa toko quilting pada gak punya templatenya. Mau beli online kok ya males banget.

Kayaknya sih gampang aja buat templatenya, so cari cari tutorialnya ketemu ini http://yarn-or-fabric.weebly.com/how-to-make-an-acrylic-quilt-template.html

Aku pake ready cut square template produkcottage patch, udah ada beberapa ukuran.

Nyoba bikin 2 ukuran, 3,5 inch dan 4,5 inch.

Untuk yang 3,5 inch : buat 1 inch dari ujung kiri dan 1 inch di ujung kanan bawah, hubungkan dengan garis seperti foto di atas.

Buat juga 1 inch kanan atas dan 1 inch kiri bawah, hubungkan dengan garis.

Tutup kedua garis dengan isolasi bening agar garis tidak hilang atau mengotori kain.

Untuk yang 4,5 inch buat jarak 1,5 inch dari pinggir.

Sekarang cara membuat quilt blok nya ...

Buat nine patch blok ukuran 4,5 x 4,5 inch, dengan border 3 inch saja ... *punyaku 4 inch - terlalu lebar, wasting kain*

Letakkan template seperti gambar diatas, dengan tanda silang tepat di garis jahitan, potong sekeliling dengan roller cutter.

Lakukan hal yang sama untuk setiap pertemuan jahitan .. *duh bahasanya ...*

Ambil potongan potongan nya dan susun kembali seperti gambar di bawah, jahit sampai selesai.

Gunakan ukuran template yang lebih kecil dari ukuran blok, seperti yang aku pakai untuk blog menggunakan ukuran 4,5 inch maka template twister yang dipakai ukuran 3,5 inch.

Hasil jadi twister blok akan lebih kecil di banding blok sebelumnya.

Selamat mencoba...

Daaaan ... diriku kalap dengan sukses ..

Dideretan jalan Sulawesi di Denpasar ada banyak yang jual bali batik, tapi yang memang untuk quilting dan sering di datangi bule bule ada 2 toko.

Toko Maju di jalan sulawesi dan Toko Dewi Mas di jalan Gajah Mada, lokasinya berdekatan saja,antara Maju dan Dewi Mas bisa jalan kaki.

Thanks a million to Eny Kojiro my dear friend yang sudah ngantarin seharian ke toko kain ini ..

Denpasar sekarang macet berat, sudah kayak Jakarta aja, dari Hotel di daerah Jimbaran ke Denpasar bisa hampir 2 jam kalo pas jam sibuk. Makanya lebih baik datang pagi pagi ..

Desember 2013

Bulan Desember tidak banyak berkarya 

Desember awal harus ke Surabaya, ibukujatuh dan patah tulang bahunya ... hiks ..

Alhamdulillah sekarang sudah ok dan pulih kembali ..

Desember hanya sempat buat 2 dompet passport ini

satu pakai zip dengan kantong passport di dalam, lebih aman karena ada zip, jadi gak takut terjatuh tanpa sengaja.

satu lagi bentuk dompet 3 sisi dengan kanting kiri dan kanan, pakai velcro untuk kancingnya.

Cita citanya mulai Januari ini akan mulai berproduksi si dompet passport ini, mudah mudahan ada waktunya hehehe ...

so, yang mana yang anda suka ? dengan velcro atau dengan zip ?
