sewing project 1

made a handbag out of an old pair of pants :)

the victim: 

the theme is summer, so this handbag design is particularly suitable for complementing your summer outfit ;)

handbag

it's the brand new handbag design, baby!
purely handmade by the the ayjoo boutiques' very own CEO, eju!
so what are you waiting for? grab one at ayjoo boutique nearby =p




lol. while i was cleaning up my closet, i found my sister's pair of jeans which is already shabby and threadbare. she doesn't want it anymore, so i planned to make it usable again. =)


this handbag isn't complete yet since i have exams to focus on to.
i planned to make it so 'beadsy' and glamorous despite it's common square design.
though i think it's kinda ugly, well, it's my very 1st attempt to make a handbag, so shut up =p

half cardigan

before


i bought this half cardigan and thought the design is too sexy for me.
so, i redesigned it. i stole the white buttons from my dad's shirt. lol

after

innovation

this blouse is my sister's and she bought it years ago,, in 2003 if i'm not mistaken.. well, she doesn't want it anymore and so i thought of redesigning it ;)

before:

after:

these are the things i did:

• add shoulder pads
• trimming
• add some beads
• add a belt

u won't really see much of a difference unless u try it on before and after redesigning. for me, i think it is now more flattering, more shapely, and classic.

so what do you think? does it get better or worse?

RM20 turns RM50

months ago, i went to this 1 shop where i found a wow-this-is-so-cheap baju kurung which was sold for only RM20!! and so i bought it..(of course.., it's a must!! =D)

2 days ago, kak long, my sis-in-law taught me how to make it look more expensive.., by adding some colourful beads ;)

before:

after:

i forgot what's the name of this pattern (random flowers, if i'm not mistaken), it is 1 of the easiest pattern, however it was so very tiring sewing those beads one by one...., but it worth the effort =) my RM20 baju kurung looks more expensive now, don't u think?

here's the close-up.. quite messy, but hey, i'm just a beginner..hahaha =D

i guess this is my 1st step towards opening 'ayjoo boutique'...hihihi

cover up in style!

casual wear designs for muslimah =)

which 1 do u think is the best?

fashion designs for guys

i dont know much about guys fashion, but i, as a girl, think that guys look good in these designs... these are according to my perspective..:

i think guys look 'macho' in shirts and jeans..plus the sunglasses

jackets make guys look cool, dont u think?

i dont like hippie, but it's today's trend

for me, guys wearing caps=cute

so what do u think? do u agree with me?

and which 1 do u think is the best?

ayjoo boutique

i'm still wasting my time, designing clothes.. and here are the four designs:

different styles for different moods=)

sporty

girly

smart

glam

same question: which 1 do u think is the best?

fashion designing?

i did this just for fun.. it has nothing to do with my ambition.. hahah..eh, but, who knows? maybe someday i'll enter the fashion industry and create my own brand=ayjoo, and maybe 'ayjoo' will be a famous brand, just like vera wang, victoria's secret, and christian dior.. hahah.. but i know, it's 90% impossible as my designs are not as good as theirs.. =D

so, these are the 1st four 'ayjoo' designs:

which 1 do u think is the best?
