Hello Kitty Face Pillow

When thinking about making Michelle birthday gift, I crossed with a cute pictures of Hello Kitty and thinking about make a face pillow. 

Making a pattern on a piece of a paper and then copied the pattern to white felt fabric, and I sewed across the edge. Fill the pillow with stuffing and finish up to sewed the edge. Then I make stitches for the eyes and nose. Add a red felt to make a bow and sew it to the white felt.

But I think I forget something... I forget to make stitches for the cat whiskers. Oh well... I sew it next time I visit my niece :) 

Update 23/02/14:
I had the chances to work on the whiskers today. So I'll post the picture after I sew on the whiskers.

Hello Kitty Bedcover & Pillows

My niece just turn 7 last July. If people ask what kind of gifts she wanted for her birthday, she will say something with Hello Kitty themes. Meanwhile she ask me something for her barbie just like last year. It took me 2 months to finished up the request because I still have no idea what to make. And then I remember that she had barbie's bed but hasn't had bedcover. So I decided to make bedcover and matching pillows.

At first I was thinking to make bedcover with fabric I have at home but then it cross my mind to matched barbie's bed set with hers. She plan to decor her room with Hello Kitty themes. So I decided to make Hello Kitty theme bedcover and pillows.

It took me 2 hours to work on it but it took me forever to find Hello Kitty theme fabrics. Finally I found a fabric that could work nicely as bedcover and pillows with small enough Hello Kitty on it. The fabric is the one you used to wrap a newborn baby. So the fabric almost feel like felt, smooth and soft but not as thick as felt.

Since my niece had a pull out bed, I make 2 bedcovers and 4 pillows. I also make one Hello Kitty face pillow from felt as decorative pillow.

Birthday Gift for Michelle

This is what my birthday gift for my lovely niece. I promised her barbie's dresses for her birthday when I got back from Geneva. Besides dresses, I make her a set of walking closet. One dresses closet with 9 dresses inside, necklaces, one shoes rack including the shoes, one coffee table with desk lamp and one bean bag. The gift exclude my barbie because she had 9 already :)

Pink Top & Gathered Skirt

I promise my niece dresses for her barbie on her birthday. And I had one week after my sister's wedding to prepared the gift. So I mix the gift between my hand crochet dress and the sewed one. She has nine 11.5" doll. So I need to add some new dress to the collection. Since the sewing machine ready to use, I tried new pattern I had. So this is the ninth dress I made for her. Still need more practice on sewing small dress.
