New product from Cokotto Shop : Handmade hankies pack.

Hello my lovely readers,

Today I have some beautiful, exciting handmade for you!
This is a new product from CokottoHand, which are all 100% handmade by me....even the package are exclusively designed and handmade by me.



I have hankies pack of THREE, which are all made from soft 100% organic cotton (or designer cotton if you        
would like to make it from our fabric collection...can be arranged), and backed with soft, high quality cotton flannel for an extra softness feel and added absorbency. The packaging are made of paper so that it can be recycled later, and the hankies are of course washable for repeated use...so less use of tissues for you!

The hankies are suitable for babies, kids and adults alike. Would be perfect as birthday gifts, or baby welcoming gifts by combining it with our specially made baby bibs and blanket. They are made of cotton flannel which are suitable for daily use as well. I know that a hankie or a wipe cloth is a must for parents with babies and small kids. (I know I do!) There are always something to wipe off their little mouths or hands, or sweat after jumping and tumbling at the playground. These hankies looks so stylish for mummy to carry around in your purse!

Each pack consists of three pieces of 8X8 inches hankies, all with differrent designs (if you would like to have all three same design fabric, please e-mail cokottoshop@gmail.com for custom orders), available on my facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/cokottoshop for only RM30. I will also make them available in our online shop soon. Most of these hankies are limited edition, so please e-mail us to know which of the design are available for reproduction. Here are some of them for your viewing...

A simple tutorial - Throw pillow cover

As promised, today i am going to do a tutorial how to make a simple throw pillow cover. This tutorial is intended for anyone who does not have a serger at home, but would like to make their creation last long. In this tutorial I am going to use french seam.

Thing that you will need :


For the front part :
1 piece of 11"x11" fabric....A
2 pieces of 21"x6" fabric....B
2 pieces of 11"x6" fabric....C

For the back part (not in picture...forgot to take the pictures)
1 piece of 21"x6" fabric....D
1 piece of 21"x18' fabric...E

and scissors, threads, sewing machine....
ok now to the assembling process...

With the wrong sides together, sew one piece of C with A with 1/4" seam at one side of the 11" edge...then press the seams to flatten it. Trim to 1/8". Then flip the fabrics so that now we have the right sides together. Press again to flatten the fold.

Then sew the folded edge, 1/4 inch from the folding edge. Repeat this for the bottom part, using another C fabric. So then, you will have this.



OK? Now we are going to work with the long edges. Using the same method above, right side together attached the pice you just completed above with B fabrics....remember to press to reduce the bulk seam!Once you finished, you will get this! Put that aside first...as next we are going to work with the back piece.



So we are just going to hem the edges here. Hem one side (21" side) by turning in 1/4", press. Then fold another 1/2" and press. Do the top stitch to finish the seam. Like this. Do for both E and F fabric



Adjust both E & F pieces so that the total length is 21" and pin both side so that it won't move. Then take the first piece you have completed with the back piece. With the right side together sew up all 4 edges at 1/4" inch. Press, and trim to 1/8". Trim the corners too.



Turn it inside out, push the corners nicely, do not over poke ya...and sew all 4 edges with 1/4" seam.



Trim the corners, turn it inside out and do top stitching 1/2" seam or 1" seam which ever you like, for the finishing touches. Tadaa!Done! Then you can decorate your living room with it...\(^o^)/

Make your own fridge magnet

I've got a lot of fabrics scraps which I dearly hold on to. Too hard them let them go!
Well, then I found some magnet sheet in stationary shop near our house.
So i decided to give this a try!

Material :

Glue (make sure it suitable for fabric) - I use 3M Scotch glue stick here.
Fabris scraps
Scissors
Magnet sheet/magnet tape (I cut it into 2"X1", but you can cut it to whatever size you want)
Fray check




So firstly put on glue to the surface of the magnetic sheet. Make sure not to apply it on the black, magnetic surface.


Then put the fabric on top of the magnet. Press lightly especially on the edges.
 

Then cut the excess fabric, trim it nicely at the edges.

This is what you got after that. We are not finished yet...

Pour a little bit of fray check on a plate or flat surface. Dip all four edges into the fray check. A little is more than enough.

Left it to dry. You can get a lot with a sheet of magnet. Just like this!


Then after it had dried up, you can use it on your fridge! Cute right..! Isn't it a great way to use up your fabric scraps?


Happy trying!

Love,
