It's been a while since the last time I sewed since I added study to my life.
William wanted a 'Mama-made' pencil case for school. Made from repurposing unwanted jeans.

Grandmothers. Nurturing, loving, and vital figures in the family.
Growing up, I am blessed with 3 of them. In my early years, I was nurtured by Mbah Ning (She was my mum's aunty that raised my mum with love and dedication) & when I am 10 years old my Grandma (my Dad's mum) raised me. When I moved to Australia, I was also blessed with the love and acceptance that I received from Liam's grandmother. She took me under her wing and opened her house, her heart, and her family to me.
Made Australia feel like home since day 1.

I found a Christmas card with Liam's grandma's handwriting. Using Silhouette program and machine, I made this memory pillow for one of her daughter. ♥️

My mum was a woman with multi talents. She was amazingly smart, creative, brave, and beautiful. She was a businesswoman, sewist, make-up artist, and chief of her village (Lurah). She passed away before my 9 birthday after a long battle with breast cancer.

I always remember the sound her sewing machine, when she made kebaya for some important woman (ibu pejabat) that want it custom made.

I started into sewing when my daughter was born. I want to make bibs and dress for her. I learned from youtube, and then I studied clothing production at RMIT. I still wish I had the chance to learn it from my mum. c'est la vie.

Batik top that I made from my mum's fabric.
Black linen short I made 3 years ago, it's been very loved as you can see by the faded colour 😄.

Sewing taught me patience, creativity, and mindfulness. I've been back to sewing again (I mean creating and not altering garments 😅), slowly, when time permits. This week, I made bandana bibs for my little friend Isaac.

Memory pillows 😇 that I made last Christmas.

Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.
