Biasanya saya pake coin-pouch biasa untuk tempat STNK & kunci mobil. Tapi beberapa hari lalu kepala risleting pouch yang biasa saya pakai rusak, terpaksa deh nyari alternatif. Berhubung butuhnya cepet, males nyari ke toko juga..akhirnya saya motong bahan yang ada di rumah, lipet sana-sini, tahan pake snapper….jadi deh 🙂 Bener-bener pouch instan! Mudah-mudahan sih umurnya ngga ikutan instan hehe… ❀❀❀

T-shirt Surgery: Studded Tee
Papadino is not a “shirt” guy. He wears t-shirt from time to time. Sometimes they got so worn-up or getting smaller (ah, yes…he’s been fluffing a lot now :p). Since majority of his t-shirts are illustrated, I always get so itch to play with them & make them my own. I’ll try posting some of my altered t-shirt. Though I made some tops for myself, I mostly love turning them…

Heihoo! This is my first [fid] post. So exited! If you wonder what “FID” means…well, it stands for [From Inside the Drawer]. Meaning I will be posting my old DIY items. I always love making things ever since I was very little. My mom would tell me I am messing up my room, but then sometimes showing off what I do to her acquaintances. When I was in elementary, I adore…

4 months ago I was in panic attack trying to find perfect mini-sewing machine for my projects. Yes, after decades jumping around needles with barehands, I finally say “okay, I think I want a faster, easier, tidier sewing. hmm..” So I ran for it. Why mini? while I already own an industrial machine plus one twenty years-old singer machine that my mom never thought of teaching me how-to (Er…no, this is not a curcol hihi), I cannot use them. Not that I haven’t try, but…yes, I haven’t try :p
Then my oh-so-crazy mind naively thought a hand operated mini-sewing machine won’t hurt my guts. Since I will only have to turn it on, run my fabrics to it and voila! Project is done :p. Not so true. But I will get to it later…

Five years ago, I would def say no to this kinda shoes. Not that I don’t like it…mostly because I’m too shy to wear it here in Indonesia. But hey, there’s always a start for everything right? I choose the start on Feb. At the time I was browsing my outfit and thought nothing’s good enough to wear. Then my mind mumbling…why don’t add a touch of boots?? Boots always…

I’m a big fan of pouch. But I don’t really have a nice cosmetic pouch to carry around. So I decided to sew my own pouch using scrap fabric I found at Tamim. Since I can’t use any sewing machine, I hand-sew this pouch so it’s a little messy *sob* Anyway, it’s an easy pouch you can make in no fuss. I only need about half-hour to hand-sew this myself.…
