Shopping for fabrics in Singapore

Hi people,

This  morning I dropped by at Dhoby Ghaut station for breakfast.

I am lucky to pass by Spotlight (Plaza Singapura) where they are having a 30% storewide discount. 

So I got my shear scissor at lower price. YAY !

In the noon, I went to Chinatown People Park Centre.

My main purpose of this trip is to get materials to make a tote bag. 

I just realised the materials used to make a tote bag isn't cheap. 

Or maybe not in Singapore.

During my hunt, I got alittle sidetrack which I ended up with more fabrics and some little trinkets.

Well, you know all these fabrics all too pretty to resist.

So "BUY NOW, THINK LATER" ~ 

:)

Here are some of the loots I got from today shopping spree :

Some cute fat quarter fabrics:

I ponder quite a while on this fabric because I have no idea what to make out of this.

The fabric actually look way prettier in real life than in photo because it have gitters on it which makes it shine. Moreover it is in bright purple colour.

Tote bag essentials :

What a fruitful but tiring day ! 

Glad I got all the materials I need for my new project.

Have a great weekend everyone !

Zippers & Fabrics

Hello everyone ! 

Today is such an excited day.

I have bought alot of supplies which include fabrics, zippers, interfacing, and casing for my macaron coin purse.

Other than these colourful zippers, I have beige and red zippers as well.
Beige zippers are my favourite because they matches all fabrics but colourful zippers are cuter.

Polka dots are very popular.
So I bought this two prints which I think it looks really sweet and lovely.
I plan to use this fabric for my new macaron design.

(below) Some fabrics that I bought.
I prefer to get fat quarters for my macaron coin purse, so I can have various print for my items.

Other than getting supplies for my ETSY shop.
I bought some cute stationery.

These are really useful as I get ideas as and when, so it would be great to jot them immediately in case I forget.
I love the rainbow print - fairykei style.

Not forgetting getting a new set of colour pencils as well.
It been a long time since I use colour pencils. It seems like I'm buying stationery for school.

Needle felting for the first time

Needle Felting

I picked up a new skill today which is needle felt art.

My SO surprised me with a basic felt tools and some kits right after work.
It was a pleasant surprise.
Previously I mention how needle felt seem fun and how much I wanted to try making it.

Didn't expect him to do a research on needle felt and bought the materials for me.
He is so efficient and smart ! ^^

It comes with a foam board, 1 single needle and 1 triple needle.
It is pretty costly for a foam and some needles.

This handicraft can be pretty dangerous, time consuming but totally worth it.
You can wear thimbles to protect your fingers while stabbing/poking the wool.

You have to be fully concentrated and do not look away while stabbing.
I have to rest after an hour or so to regain concentration.

Needle felting is indeed a very fun process.

Try it out today too!

Beads, my new sewmate.

It's friday and I'm in a mood for some shopping !

I went out to stock up my supplies, and bought some new items including -

Beads !

Yes ! It's beads.
I remembered when I was seven my mother brought me out to buy tons of beads.
She taught me how to make it into beautiful bracelet, which I later sell it to my classmates.
" well, I think I am meant to be an entrepreneur "
*Hahaha*

My mum is very good in colour coordination.
I always seek her for advice.

Anyway, I really enjoy spending my afternoon walking around the art store.
This is where I get my inspirations from as well.

Planning and designing new coin purse -

I have two upcoming designs for sneak preview :

Do look out for it on my website. 

Have a great day, everyone !

Chinatown / Singapore

Went out with my mum today for some shopping ! 

I was suppose to buy some fabric but sadly the store was closed (due to public holiday)

Luckily, another store was opened. It was one of my favourite supply store ! 

They have almost everything, except fabrics.

So I bought a dozen of zippers, chains and threads.

*Happy day*

Nothing beats a day shopping for supplies :D 

It was a joyful dayout !

Earth Globe Sharpener

Today, I happened to walk past an art store located in City Hall, Singapore.

Bought this lovely sharpener from paper market which fitted my ETSY shop perfectly. 

Now, I know roughly where my parcel is going to ship to. Plus this little globe does not take up any space. 

*Perfect*

Well, Singapore is not in the globe...which is quite common >o<
