Beary Beary Love You, part 1 – Bear Embroidery

Published on May 30, 2014 by sweetsourmomentsLeave a comment

Sewing and embroidery project I did during memorial day weekend. I put it into 2 separate postings, one is for the embroidery and the other one is for the sewing. So here is the part 1, Bear embroidery!

My girl loves stuffed animal, specially bear, anything with bear… I got this bear sketch from the bed sheet, it has printed bears on it and she always kisses them whenever I use the sheet on the bed… so cute to just watch her doing so 🙂

Initially I was planning to add some wild flowers and bees, as you can see I had drawn them on the paper in the right side, but then the plan’s changed … I added balloons and writing instead, I think this would be more fun for her.

The bear outfit came from scrap fabric.

Stay tune for the part 2, I used this embroidery in sewing tote bag for her.

Hairpins – DIY

Published on April 5, 2014 by sweetsourmoments4 Comments

I like to save any left over craft project, scrap fabrics, ribbons, spare buttons, laces, even the ribbon ties from shopping bags (like the hot pink one in VS paper bag). I know they will be very useful someday and can always be made into something, just like this hairpins project. Except for the metal pin which I bought for $1.5/pack (10 pcs), all the material here is from the saving box, the box where I put all the left over and spare things I mentions above.

They are all customized and almost free, what I need now is how to make my little one leave it alone, not trying to pull it off her hair. Hopefully it brings you inspiration!

Crochet Rosette Brooch- DIY

Published on March 24, 2014 by sweetsourmoments1 Comment

I have seen many pretty and cute crochet flower tutorial and patterns in internet. They all look great for brooch, but this one is my favorite, so elegant and perfect for my brooch project. I found the pattern in Ravelry.com by Daniela Herbertz. With some accessory pearls and beads, make it more custom look and feel fancy.

This is what it looks like once we finish the stitches.

Put it together to form the rosette, add the pearls or beads.

Add felt and stitch the pin on the back.

I made it in 2 colors.

Perfect for gift.

Perfect for jacket, perfect for summer!

Crochet Mouse- DIY

This is the weekend project, easy and quick, crocheting little mouse. I’m planning to make more and put the magnet for the fridge… or it may just become my little M’s toy which is what it’s been, my baby’s been throwing and chasing it around 🙂

I didn’t write down the pattern, but it’s simple, just follow your imagination to get the shape with increase and decrease Sc.

Crochet Coaster – DIY

I made these coasters for housewarming gift, I don’t have the crochet pattern for this project though .. sorry. What I did was making 4 chains, sl st together to make a circle then sc along the chains. In the inner round I did 2 sc at the same space, when the circle got bigger I reduced the count. I added sc at the same space whenever the edge began to curl, otherwise 1 sc for each space. The good news is I have the pattern for the flower edge 🙂 It needs 4 chains space for each : 1 sc, 1dc 1tc at the same space, 1tc, 1dc 1tc at the same space , repeat.
