Assalamualaikum semua

Post yg terdahulu, kite ade uploadkan gamba2 dari hasil kerja tgn kite pada sulaman benang (Thread Embroidery (TE)), so kali ni kite tengok hasil bahagian ke-2 sulaman benang kite, ok? Ar 1st, mmg payah nak mulakan smula coz after the 1st trail tu, terus x tengok2 TE, but at last i’d managed to get some of it in control, cthnye mcm Tenunan Timbul Picots (Raised Woven Picots), Jahitan Pekinese (Pekinese Stich), Jahitan Satin (Satin Stich), Jahitan Feather (Feather Stich), Jahitan Sayap (Fly Stich) dan Jahitan Daun Stem (Stem Leaf Stich).

Yg best skali, kite berjaya membuat Tenunan Timbul Picots (Raised Woven Picots (RWP)). Tgk dlm buku, cantiknye bunge matahari disulam with this technique. It looks alive! Tapi kalau x tarik benang dengan kemas n mantap, tulang belakang utk menghasilkan tenunan ni will loosen up. Jadi cam gelembung2. Apa yg dapat kite pastikan (based on my observation masa menyulam benang ni) lebar utk bahagian bawah petal tu kene lebar, kalau x, x cantik hasilnye.  Bahagian yg disulam @ dianyam berselang seli tu, x kan nampak mcm kelopak bunge matahari tapi jadi straight line tegak je ala KLCC.

Inilah hasil WRP!

Kelopak yg 2nd tu kite sulamkan ke depan skit dari kelopak no 1. Supaya dia nampak bertindih. Ini kes ‘try n error’ je, aleh2 menjadi pulak! Satu lagi my personal discovery, masa tgh menyulam tu secara x sengaja, Read more…

MISS DISNEY PRINCESS PAGEANT 2008: MADIHAH’s COSTUME

November 12th, 2008 Imass 4 comments

Salam and greetings to all..

Almost 2 weeks in silent – i’ve just finished embelishing madihah’s costume! A project for my daughter. All started when her eyes captured the view of a huge advert hanging on top corner of each pillar. The fever for Miss Disney Princess is back in action!!! Last year, she missed the pageant, and now, she wont let it happen again.

So, nak x nak i have to ‘layan’ jelah kehendak dia. Next morning during lunch hour in d office, i’d started to search through some info on Disney Princesses. Trying to match her, which princess would suite her the most:

1. Snow White – gentle n loving (too gentle for madihah)

2. Cinderella – gentle n soft-spoken (her idol but also too soft)

How about…

3. Belle – the Beauty whom patience enough to face with the grumpy Beast and later give him her heart;

4. Ariel – headstrong (applicable to madihah) n naive

5. Aurora – gentle, loving n thoughtful (mm..sometimes)

6. Jasmine – exotic, strong n independent. (quite similar to her)

7. Mulan -a tomboy (not really)

8. Pocahontas – play full, free-spirited young women n loves adventures (play full? of course)

After in depth analysis on the characteristics of each princess vs madihah, i’d proposed Princess Jasmine to her and she’d agreed. Together we started to search for some pictures of Princess Jasmine’s costume.

After 2 days in searching for the kostume, k.syid – one of my friends proposed for me to sew the costume by my self – Great idea! So, startla process desiging the costume.

This is the preliminary sketches in my lil note book.
1st – The Blause; 2nd – The Belt Read more…
