This blog shop will close when my esty is complete.

These prices are cheap because I have no fees to pay. (And I am desperate to clear my room)

Please be aware that prices on esty listed items will be dearer than on here, so I'd take advantage of these blog shop prices before I move them to etsy!


I will also be using this blog space for customer pictures and comments.

Easy Circle Skirt

The circle skirt is really cute and can be made with minimal effort! The circle allows the skirt to flare and the wavy appearance makes the wearer seem feminine and soft. The use of different patterns can also give a fun effect!


Making the skirt:

The measurements are a little confusing!

What I did was,

1) Measure from my hips down to what ever length I wanted my skirt
2) Add an extra 5 -6 inches
3) Use a string to draw your circle on your fabric (or on newspaper to use as a template while cutting)

4) Cut out the circle
5) Cut out about a 5 or 6 inches diameter circle in the centre

6) Hem the bottom of the skirt and the top (may be complicated, you may have to overlap the fabric on the inside)
7) Add strips on the inside to hold the elastic (once again, you may need to fold over the strip to go with the curve of the circle)

Hi Kenny!!

8) Thread elastic through and join at ends

Mine turned out alright, but of course this tutorial is for a very easy circle skirt for those who have no clue on the basics. If yours turned out a little worse than mine, you can still wear it but just hide the elastic with a belt or under your shirt!

I don't own any belts... I think I should...

Don't waste your left over fabrics!

I used them to make a bow hair tie:

And also a little wrist band!

Matching outfit! Cute!!

Hime Camera Deco

I had to buy two deco-den sets from Yukie because my sister wanted the same set too!

My sister's phone with my hand made phone charm!


And now for the camera makeover!

I've been watching many deco videos and have noted down a few useful steps:
1) Start with main features first e.g. big heart or rose
2) Add the border
3) Fill in with bigger pearls or gems then fill with medium sized as much as you can
4) Fill in the gaps with the smallest pearls or gems

If you add the border first, you won't have room to add the main features and it will look cluttered inside the border.

If you add the border last, it will look wonky because you have to move around the pearls or gems that are already there!

I used some all purpose glue by 'Bond' (I think). If you're not using the actual Japanese glue usually other glues get everywhere but once your object is cluttered with pretty stuff, you'd barely notice any glue!

Hope it helps!!

Puffy Baby Doll Dress (Smock Top)

I made this dress today!

I put it on after sewing and it seemed as I needed to add elastic or a belt to gather at the waist.
So I added some elastic around the waist!



I dedicate this dress to my inspiration, Gal Sone!

I love her quarter sleeve 'smock' dress! So cute! And a good way to cover your big belly after a big meal!!

I followed the 'pattern' from "Clothes Without Patterns" by Fay Morgan but did my own variation of it.

How I sewed my version:

I wore it out soon after and received much attention and compliments! More on that on my Tiny Fidgety blog!

Make a Giant Bow

Wow!! So, it has been confirmed! The giant bow is the next big thing!! (Lame!)


I thought I'd be too lazy but I DID make one!









Hope you like!
