Pink Fitted Sheet/Fitted sheet with heart applique

Pink  Fitted sheet

Plain pink  fitted sheet.  Queen size with 4 standard pillowcase and a bolster. 

Project Experience

This is one of my attempt to make queen size fitted sheet. My friends just bought a house.

She painted the house pink and combine it with purple curtain. While for the kitchen cabinet she chosed white. Quite interesting combination actually. So, for the sheet she bought pink fabric to accomplish her master bedroom.

She prefers plain concept. Therefore I only applied basic sewing techique for this project. The furnishing such as applique or ruffles is not required. Fortunately I got the correct measurement, calculation of  length and  width of the sheet i intend to sew, plus extra measurement of the rubber strings that  i want to pull the corners inside.  Right measurement plus the simple design..., I managed to get this project done fast. PHEW!!!.

Price at RM90 per set.

Fitted sheet with heart shape applique

The fitted sheet made for a friends in the queen size.  The patches work selected was  the  heart shape appliqué. The project comes with 4 standard pillows plus a bolster. Price at RM150 per set.

Project experience

I sew plain purple cotton for a base to give  sharp impression of the hearts. While for the applique hearts shape, I used full print American Cotton with modern design. Then the purple of the heart shape applique is much more deeper/darker rather than the plain cotton.

It is also hard for me to matchmake the purple contrast with the light fabric. I bought the light flowery fabric at JAKEL. I had to cut the fabric based on the flower allocation.Knowing my friend personality, soft spoken and girlish (ultimate fan of pink). I'm trying to find pink fabric for this project. However, at last only purple are available with flower motifs, then I had to chose it and match with the heart shape applique.

Car pillow set  for boys

 A friend of mine asked me to sew pillow set for her three old son. I picked blue fabric with car and motorcycle motifs which I think  is suitable for his age. Then I patch 2 cars for the head pillow and 4 cars for the bolster. To increase the affect, I put more detailing in yellow and red lining around the car shape.

 I hope he's happy and have sweet dream every night.

Price List: RM110.
                  

 Giraffe ride  a strawberry car

This was one of my early design. It took me few days just to sew this project. The giraffe parts was easy, however the white borders quite  difficult because the fabric was stretchable. However I feel happy because my friend like it. She is a fan of  red, so I tried to put that colour  in this design. This was for her 5 years old girl.                                   

Price List: RM60
                                                         

Yellow Chicken

This design for the boy aged 3 years old.
Other than car, motorcycle, ball, train or truck what else for the boys. Ultraman? Ben 10? or yellow robot (transformers or widely known as bumble bee). As a fan of animals I choosed chicken. But, I got a feedback that black is not suitable for children. I should pick bright colour instead of black. Yup, I appreciate the comment.

However, it reminds me of a comedy series...CHEERS. It was aired in the late 80's. Well, I was born in the middle of 70's and now middle of 30's. For those who never heard the title. It was about Frasier and Lilith want to decorate their unborn baby room. Instead of chose pink for girl and blue for boy the couple decorated in black and white. Everything is in that colour. From painted wall, bedding as well as toys. The purpose is to stimulate the baby brain. I don't know it is true or not. I might have to do some research in the internet.
Price List: RM30

Butterfly Pillow  

This was a design for a girl aged 4 years old. The butterfly silhouette was a pattern from amybutlerdesign.com.  Actually the plan only inclusive  3 features which  were  butterfly, red polka dot and ruffles. However due to miscalculation of the size I have to sew the stripe fabric. Luckily, my friends like it.
