needle field wednesday may 4 2011 applique project progress ii i m happy to say that i m done with sewing the applique phew the daisies seems intimidating to sew so i started sewing what i thought was the hardest little cute daisies i drew the lines first before stitching just so i can get the exact looking daisies everything went well minus this one daisy that i had to unpicked twice the stems supposed to be the easiest to sew but somehow i ended up unpicking the stitches several times you can see the unraveled stems and my uh shivering stitches p never thought that i could sew those small circles when i saw the tutorial i thought it was impossible to sew something that small but i just do it did it yea d the whole flower bouquet next thing to do is to add batting to the back and maybe sew piping along the corners i ll update on that when it s fully done soon have a nice day posted by bea at 11 55 pm 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest

along the drawn lines place the foliage on top of brown shirt draw the shape of a trunk pin and cut the brown trunk 2 mark the curvy line of the foliage that overlaps the bark cut off the extra material above the curvy line add texture to the bark by drawing some lines or semicircles as shown embroider the lines with your favourite colour thread stitches of your choice 3 mark the points where the top edge of the bark meets the foliage mark both layers of foliage put aside one layer of foliage bark draw the eyes mouth on the other foliage with a pencil cut black felt into two small

stretch polyester pants the owner is my little nephew i just randomly cut the material to make the body parts two simple squares and limbs which to me is the robot s special feature the hands was inspired from crab s claw legs the mouth has a small pocket to hide things even though i was eyeballing the measurements and pattern i m glad that robot turned out looking cute finished size 23 5 height from head to toe x 9 body width x 3 5 depth if you re wondering how i made robot give a peek a boo pose for sure nothing mechanical involved it s purely head pins pinned in between the hands

vintage 70 s malay recipe book here s something old and interesting to share this coverless book was part of my moms recipe collections titled masakan lauk2 dan kue it was published in 1970 and well it s not that old but what i like about it is the retro style drawings written by che amah tain there is a variety of traditional malay recipes ranging from main dishes to cakes and desserts the text were written in old malay bahasa melayu spelling just two years before the spelling reform during that period of spelling reform publishers were allowed to dispose of their old book stocks and to publish revised editions in the new spelling this book looks like it was independently published so maybe a revised version of it does not exist but if you happened to own one do let me know while i was flipping through the pages i noticed that the recipes are pretty much similar to the modern version of what we now call classic malay recipes some even have funny recipe names pulut dansing dancing sticky rice if you re from the state of kedah you might find this recipe similar to pulut dakap i guess that s what they call it back then for this particular recipe banana is encased in sticky rice and then wrapped in banana leaves two parcels are tied together then steamed till cooked you can find a version of this recipe at my resepi lepat is a malay dessert wrapped in banana leaves this recipe has little ingredients but not that simple to make as there are some steps involved in making it take a peek at a version of this recipe at my resipi this is a malay version of bread pudding recipe using coconut milk instead of regular cow s milk adds a creamy tropical flavour pandan leaves are used as flavouring i m not sure about 2 cups of sugar stated in the recipe i bet it gonna taste darn sweet my favourite bread pudding recipe is from allrecipes com kueh ma mor or biskut makmur is similar to the western version of mexican wedding cakes snowball cookies the most important ingredient is the butter ghee you cannot substitute it with other fat this is my all time favourite cookie images retro drawings from the book this drawing is my favourite so retro i bet some of you malaysian might have a copy of this book or maybe some other older cook books hiding in your store room you ll never know unless you do some spring cleaning you d be surprised with all the treasures that you can find have a beautiful friday posted by bea at 5 16 pm 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels baking books older posts home
