♥ Cat's Creation: Lovebird

It feels so nice hearing my sewing machine churning. :p Don't you think the stripes print fabric in skyblue shades is absolutely, totally, unconventionally lovely? Initially I was thinking of making it into a dress but ended up making it into a ra ra skirt & used the remaining fabric for the tube top.

1. The Ra Ra La Di Da: RM40 SOLD OUT

Cat Purr: One day, I walked into Topshop & saw this lovely ra ra miniskirt in fuschia & i fell in love with it. Got kinda inspired by it & thought, "Hey, why not make a skirt like this myself?" and voila! Yes, my version is more sweet & cute & feminine as compared to the edgy one in Topshop. :p I made the waistband thicker & added lace trimming at the top. The skirt is quite small, so, it's suitable for waist size 22 to 24inch. The material is not stretchable. 2 buttons & zipper closure at the back of the skirt. The zipper might not be perfectly sewn (haven't master the skill of sewing zipper) but it's decently done.

PS006: Exclusive 1 Piece. Free size (fits UK4 to small UK6)
Measurements: Highwaist = 12.75inch, Length = 18.75inch
Material: Cotton
RM40

2. My Sweetheart: RM35 SOLD OUT

Cat Purr: This tube top has made her debut in our last post. :) Ruched design at the bust. Finished with an adorable blue button. Gathered lace trimming. This is the first smocked item i have sewn. So glad it turns out ok. I wished I had more material to make the bottom part more puffy, well, this looks good as well. Now, I am thinking of this altering this pattern into a dress! What do you think? :p

PS005: Exclusive 1 Piece. Free size (fits UK6 to UK10)
Measurements: Pit-to-pit = 13inch, Length = 19inch
Material: Cotton

♥ Cat's Creation: Kerchief Maxi & Beanies

Finally!! Another Cat's Creation post! Had been wanting to sew/handmade things for Cat in a Bowl but was tied down by heavy workloads :( . So, before the next wave of work hits me, I have sth for you.

Crochet Beanies!

Everyone is spotting one of these nowadays - celebrities, socialites, models. :p I think it's adorable and so I made them. Mine might not be as perfect as what you see on the shopping rack but they're made with personal touch of love ;) Can't wait to make more of these!!

1. Dark Blue Beanie with Bow: RM18 SOLD OUT
Real Colour
Cat Purr: I made a blue one after seeing Jenny wearing it on Gossip Girl. ;) Fell in love with the colour. When I finished, I found that it was quite plain, so I added a bow. The bow is detachable & can be used as a hairclip instead. :D

PS004: Blue (1 piece only) SOLD OUT
Measurements: To be updated
Material: Yarn
RM18

2. Beige Crochet Beanie with Big Wooden Button: RM18 SOLD OUT

Satin Kerchief Maxi!
Had been wanting to make these in ages but didn't have time to complete them. The fabric had been lying in my drawers for so long already & alas, made them into gorgeous (tak tau malu :p) maxi dresses.

1. Cat's Floral Satin Kerchief Maxi: RM50 SOLD OUT

Cat Purr: I love fabric shopping! Cos I like to imagine what I can make out of those polka print linen, those gorgeous looking satin, those flowy chiffon.. :p hmm.. fabric fetish. LOL! Anyway, I love sewing kerchief maxi cos it's so easy to do! This maxi comes with cross-back adjustable straps. Take note that the print for both the blue & gold floral is different but they're equally gorgeous. Oh, I made the gold floral print dress a lil shorter than the blue one to cater for petite chics. ;)

PS003: Blue Floral & Gold Floral. Free size (fits UK6 to small UK12) SOLD OUT
Measurements: To be updated
Material: Satin
RM50

That's all for today. Cat in a Bowl will be going away (for holidays!!!) starting from 28th to 31st Dec 2008. We might not be able to reply to your mails/messages/orders.
