Stripe & Stretch

Today I thought I'd share with you my first sack. If you're new to sewing, in need of project ideas, or just looking to be inspired.  I am your friend.  I adopt the shirt pattern I normally wear with my legging to a nice cutie sack for my niece.  She loves it because this sack helps to make her dancing movement looks like a professional dancer.  

You just simply duplicate a tank top from the size you'd like to make and expand the side underneath the armpit to 180 degree. Than, you will get a nice dress like this.  The edge of the sack can be any style you like. In this pattern, I made the sack askew to one side.  Just to make it look more unique!!

Healthy Apple Cider Vinegar

The best practice for your digestion is to have apple cider vinegar with lime or lemon every morning.  Not that hard to try though.

 

Paper Object

A Part of Chinese Funeral Ceremony Tradition

Here is just the object I got a chance to picture from the funeral over the weekend.  Normally, many of them are furniture that we actually need for daily use, such as refrigerator, closet, clothes, chair, table, and car, for example.  Those objects are made from paper that we will burn it after the ceremony.  This custom really intend to show that the death person would get everything to comfort his/her in heaven. 

I have been told that Chinese in Thailand and in China are different.  In Thailand, we are more conservative. Several customs don't do it in China any more.  I believe that our ancestor moved from  China for years and many of them lost their contact with family and friends.  They don't go back to China and see what have changed. All traditions have been told and practice from the first  and next generation.   

A Mercedes Benz, we wish to delivery to our ancestor

Another paper object, a sofa in Chinese style 

A new iPad for grandma and grandfa. Below that is money for them to spend in the heaven

A lovely shirt, jacket, watch, and iPhone haha!! What else we can think of?

My Short Plaid Pants

The weather in Thailand is way too hot.  I can't stand wearing my every jean as i was in Chicago any more.  I need to breath... But if it's too short, I don't think it's really me.  I can't really show my beautiful legs and let the sun licks them haha!! Love it? 

My kind of pant that I love to wear during the summer and rainy season.  The fabric is imported from Japan that makes the cloth is softer and better quality. The little detail on the plaid gives my short pants a little bit more look and trendy in the way it cut and design.  I should have not said that much unless let you get one for a try. 

Cutie Laidwork with Jean Bag

Not easy, if you have to find some gifts for your best friend, especially for a friend who doesn't live in the same country.  I feel like a only chance I would find something nice.  When I was thinking what to find, I suddenly looked at those laces and a nice piece of jean fabric.  The pattern was very simple. But a design makes a bit more special in the way I utilized those laces.  I think it's not bad though haha!
