Oh! My sewing corner!

Assalammu'alaikum family, friends, readers and followers of this blog. I know and well aware that I haven't been doing much reviews lately. Well, it is back..

I am reviewing the outdoor Solid Pine table from IKEA that I just got last weekend for my sewing corner. I was initially aiming for an extendable dining table, but husband oppose as this table would be placed in the service yard, where there will be moist. So I search all over again that meets his advice. And that is when I found this nice table that fits our measurements just right!

Our challenge really is the width of the table. Our service yard do not that much of space and we can really only afford a maximum of 50cm width and nothing more else we would all not get through with ease. Length wise 100-150cm range is nice. Height wise, abt 100cm thereabouts.

So when we found one that fits, I just had to grab it in that instance. It was natural Solid Pine, how can I not love it? We arranged the delivery for the earliest date which falls on Monday, but that is alright! We can wait, I guess. :)

I feel sick when I woke up Monday morning with a heavy head, sneezing & coughing, so had to take a day sick leave. Coincidentally, the meds made me high but wont let me shut my eyes to sleep.

So when the package from IKEA arrived at noon.. I tried to force myself to sleep till 1pm, but wasnt successful so I ended up setting the table up to push my energy level to zero.

Set this up on my own

And indeed it helped. My energy was zero when I need to tighten the screws so I left it and texted my husband to complete the screw tightening job when he returns home. I was happy with that table!

I woke up to dinner, while husband finish off my half-done work and I didn't waste much time setting it up for my sewing corner!

Yeay! All set up and ready for more sewing days ahead! 

My mom says this is messy and unpleasing to her eyes

Well having heard my mom's complain, it calls for a quick project. And so it made me do this quick makeover!

Ta daaa!!!

Yup, I sew up a table cover. Not perfect - considering the urgency. I didn't even measure to draft.. Just measure across, cut, cut, and sew sew sew. Works for me at the moment, I added tabs and snaps along the front so i can keep the cloth up when I need to search for something beneath.

I am so loving my sewing corner now!

And oh! The table vibrate minimally while I serge, and is stable still while I sew. So it is double thumbs up for a $169 price tag!

And oh! I added a fan to the window because it does get hot there!

The 6" clip on fan is from Mustaffa Centre! Heee.. Cost $25.50 and it has two speed PLUS it can oscillate! No more drowning in sweats while sewing for me. Yipee!!

"Sew" long, and until I blog again!

Skants, and why I love them to bits!

Assalammu'alaikum family, friends, readers and followers of this blog.

This is a little bit of cheat, as it is a review of my own product. Well not really my own review though, I went around asking my customers what they really like about #skantsbyJunYusof. So it is partially half right? Hehe...

Anyways.. Just what is Skants? If you are asking, you obviously didnt read my previous entry, did you? Fret not, it is okay... Skants is just Skirt + Pants put together as one piece.

Like such:

Why I love them too much?

Elegance

It is feminine, and is very elegant as it behaves and looks like skirt. I am a girl, afterall!

Freedom

It provides freedom for those accidental exposure when you sit cross legged, as it is really a pair of pants. This is especially useful and practical when you deal with kids or in a men's industry where you need to be very agile and on the go at all times.

Versatile

Ultimately, when you find it to fulfil two things all at once, it is versatile! I can change all my current skirts into skants, especially those baju kurungs.

So many colours & styles!

Yes, I have like at least 10 colours! And we will be exploring another material for those who love prints as well!

Style? Feed me, we can perhaps work different skirt style, pleated maybe? Or slanted slit? Who knows what creativity can do to fashion, right?

With pockets, without pockets, flap on the right, flap on the left, you decide! It is really versatile!
