Hi All! I am moving this blog to www.thelittlemushroomcap.com  and hopefully things will be a breeze, but please forgive me for any hiccups along the way this few weeks until I get things sorted well. I am hoping all of you shall continue to follow me there as I have plans awaiting for me and am going to enjoy this new adventure and hopefully you will have better experience reading my blog

Hi! Listing items in Etsy can be exhaustive. Make item, Take photos of item. Edit photos. Upload. Make listing , details descriptions and waiting. But hey, I made a promise that I will try and upload at least three items per week. This seems more achievable than trying to stock up as much as possible. I will let the shop grow slowly as making items I sell is fun and I can't have too many

Hi! Just to share my latest addition to our handmade life. "The lunch bag". I love lunch bags. So practical and funny how much fun it can bring to lunch hours at school. I made these two lunch bags last two weekends but I have just got the time to blog, so some may have already seen it popped in my Instagram a week back. Anyway, one is for my DH and one for me. I took the inspiration

Hi! Today I am going to share with you a wonderful swap package I receive from Lynda , my swap partner assigned for this Very Cherry Swap.  Tina (emilyannkloset) started the swap over on instagram with hashtag #verycherryswap. I am amira_littlemushroomcap in Instagram by the way. On a lovely Monday holiday, I receive this bundle of package full of cherry goodness! I love all of them,

Hi! Today I would love to share you a tutorial on how to make a simple tote. A tote with an exterior made of selvedges. Throwing out bits of fabrics has always been hard for me. Even the littlest or the tiniest let alone the selvedges, long strips of fun text with a bit of the fabric itself. Some have really cute colour codes which make it even harder to throw out. So I decided to

Hi! I have a small finish to share. A baby quilt made for a special baby just born last two week. She is still in the hospital in the incubator, but she is strong and healthy. Hopefully, she gain enough weight and would be ready for the outside world very soon. I followed the wonderful tutorial by Fat Quarter Shop for this quilt. It is called the Jelly Roll Jam II. The process was very quick

Hi! Been quiet around here lately. Off on holiday the last couple of weeks and now I am back in Canberra. Been sewing a tiny bit here and there whenever I have some times in between chores, studies and other responsibilities. I love it how sewing can just bring me somewhere where I feel so myself. Anyway, I joined over the #verycherryswap over on Instagram and got myself busy with some cherry

Hi! I had an amazing sale for the Girlfriend's wallet last week, and I thank you each of you who have bought the pattern and support my endevour in pattern making. I wish all of you will try and make the wallet as it is soooo much fun! Me and my sister spent most of our week together making the wallets in different fabrics. Liberty included. I really love wallet making. So satisfying.

Hi! A couple of days ago, I made these table runners.  Both the table runners were patched up in an evening. They were quick and simple. I finished the blue one that very day, but had stalled a while before quilting the red one. Now the red one is quilted, it is yet stalled to be binded. I will do it very soon, but let's share them with all of you first. I love the simplicity of

Hi!  Welcome to my stop for the blog hop of the Modern Medallion quilt along. I see a lot of different versions coming along so well over at instagram #modernmedallion and over at facebook! It has been so much fun experimenting with a lot of improv, wonky style patchwork. I have not have imagined that it is actually quite hard to get wonky look, but it was surely lots of fun. So

Hi! Been slacking a bit on blogging, have been making lots of things in my sewing room, but haven't been sharing here much as I wanted to. Sometimes I came back home from lab and whole day in front of computer at school that I just simply don't want to stare at the computer screen any longer when I reach home. Today I am sharing along my progress of the modern medallion quilt along (

Hi! It's been a while since I post W.I.Ps. I love that Instagram was able to keep myself updated, since I have very limited amount on the computer lately. Mainly it's because the computer room is so cold this winter! I am currently working on many things, I find myself jumping from one project to another. I am loving it though, because lately my mood seems to change every second! So,

Hi! Who says beauty has to be perfect? Besides, perfect is so over rated.. This week we are kicking off the Modern Medallion Quilt-along with the gorgeous block of New York Beauty which can be as imperfect and as wonky, yet stills holds its glory. (pattern by Two little Aussie Birds can be bought at etsy here or here) I picked rainbow sets of colours

My lovely friend Crystal over at the Two Little Aussie Bird has designed this beautiful quilt using lots of modern quilting techniques such as the wonky cross, the free-wave borders and those wonky geese.

Hi! As promised, today I will be sharing with you how I improv piece the hexagon blocks in the placemat I shared last post here. Be warned, this is a photo heavy post and probably wordy too. It is so hard to explain things in words! :) 1.Begin cutting out hexagons. I am loving my Hex n More ruler by Jaybird Design. You can of course start with any size, this is an improv style

Hi! I have recently finished 6 quilted placemats which I adore very much. I will be sending it off to my Modern She Made Swap Partner soon so I plan to make two more in Black and white for me and hub. Here they are, all bright and cheery.. hope my partner will love it.   I had a lot of fun quilting this! Placemats are perfect to go crazy and practice free-motion quilting. I

Hi! Just popping in to show you what am I up to... something fun and quick for a large size quilt. Like I told you before in the previous post, I have enough of throw quilts. Not that I am not a fan, but I feel more love and feel more satisfied with large quilt that can be put on my bed. It is a bit of a hard work, especially quilting it, but the satisfaction...aaah. I love my scrappy trip

Hi! I am back with this quilt and I can say it is finally finished! I put it aside for quite sometimes, after quilting it a quarter way. Then I moved house, and haven't got the mood to start quilting it again in my smaller sewing space (I shall share with you soon) until last weekend. The quilt has a fold crease now, but I hope it goes away after washing. I had fun doing free-motion

I am very happy with it and hopefully it will be useful for all of you who would like to make your own handmade wallets. This pattern includes 16 pages with 50 clear photos with written instructions to guide you through the making process. I

Hi! These days, I love spending time with yarns. I made these beanies the other day and was in love with them! They were gifts for the newborns recently. This is a quick project and suitable for beginners. If you are planning to crochet and looking for a beginner project, this is a good one. Here is the link to the free pattern. In the mean time, enjoy the photos! I love the texture of
