making a cloth diaper

2010-03-15T05:30:00.000-07:00

just in the process of stiching cloth diaper for my little one.
for the 1st two to 3 months langod or a triangular piece of good cotton is the best choice
A new born has very soft skin and is likely to urinate too often
and of course a langod gives room for aeration too which is very important.
the best material for this is cotton,,,,

cloth diapers for older than 3 months children could be a better absorbent one,,,which am stiching now

returning after a gap

2010-03-11T00:52:00.001-08:00

I am eyeing at tailoring,,lets see if that works out.

smocked round cushion made of satin material

2009-11-23T13:45:00.000-08:00

I had learnt this from a friend of mine two years ago. I have used satin cloth and fishing thread. I am on my way to design a complete set of cushions changing the decor plan of my living room. hope to do themm soon and keep posting.

the method here is smocking, where the whole design is brought about by only stiching and there is no special cut required.

sponge flower

2009-10-24T01:00:00.000-07:00

Take a thin and long strip of sponge.
From one end turn it inward.

again give a second inward turn.

the third turn should be in the opposite direction, ie, outward, holding the longer end.

Now keep giving a twist and turning around the small bud formed due to the first two fold,a beautiful rose shaped flower could be made within seconds.
