WIP Wednesday

I've been busy crocheting to complete orders from my customers.
Basically the orders are mainly kopiah with name for children.



I'm half way crocheting this piece... , hope I can complete by tonight.
Being a full time working mother with five children makes me
left with limited hours for myself and hobbies.




And this baby cardigan that I've been working on sometime ago
have to temporarily stop too, since I need to rush  finishing  all the
orders before end of this month. 

I'm sharing this post at

 

Happy Crocheting!!

Crochet projects

Crochet projects that I've being working on for the whole week are these three "kopiah"with name.
Kopiah as we call it in Malaysia is a rounded cap worn by Muslim men. 

Basically all these "kopiah" with name are orders from a customer for her children. 



These two kopiah are basically from two different pattern.  The one on the top I used hdc stitch and on the bottom is using dc stitch.  It is my first try... just to see the different.  Upon completion,  I found that crochet using the dc stitch was much faster in completing the project. 

 
Anyway, I love the hdc stitch pattern better if to compare with the dc stitch since the "kopiah" looks more sturdy and neat.

Happy crocheting!!

Embroidery 101 : Block 4

This week what I did  for sewing was stiching the 
 Block 4 of  Embroidery 101 Quilt Along
at Clover &Violet.


The most challenging part when stitching this pattern was when
working with the long and short stich.
That is why, I choose to stitch the bird and the roof  pattern
 after I have completed the others...

Anyway with the little diagram provided by Jennie
on how to worked the stitches I managed to
complete it.


The little diagram was really helpful!!


Just to share with everyone following are all the four completed
blocks for the Embroidery 101 : Stitch and Quilt Along.


I also share this post at Sew Darn Crafty
and Clover & Violet.


Happy Stitching!!
