| N O E L | Finally, it is finished! Took longer time to complete as I was interrupted in many occasions and had to halt periodically. Nonetheless, here's NOEL Bag, large size measuring about 21½" width, 13¾" height, 6" depth. A spacious everyday bag for every day use. With two large side pockets on the bag's gusset, the convenient pockets can easily store water bottle, beach towel, diapers, and milk bottles! There's an interior zip pocket for your personal storage too. I have a personal preference for this European fabric, and was so glad when @limjenna33 picked this for her bag. This fabric just has a sophisticated feel. Gotten this fabric from @fabricity.sg, a shop I preferred much too. A heartfelt thanks to @limjenna33, I realised she liked alot of my crafts besides commissioning me to craft her bag bag. That's an encouragement to me. Folks, text us if you are keen to own a customised bag, or sew one for yourself. In lull seasons, keep going consistently and persistently. #faithprojects #ahlisews #chow_ahlisews #chow邹 #chowmemade #handmadeinsg #madeinsingapore #homemadegifts #homemadecrafts #giftsforher #sgcrafters #sgmakers #sglocal #sewingprojects #sewing #isew #customisedbags #ithinksewpatterns #ithinksew #fabricbag #bagmaker #bagmaking #isewbags #customised #europeanfabrics #NOELBag #手工包包 #手作 #自家製

| O r i g i n | I used to ask my friends, "Imagine if you have to be confined at home, or wheelchair-bound, or totally immobile, what will you do to keep your mind and being actively involved? What is being fruitful or productive?" Good time to revisit this question and to ask questions of origin, purpose, morality and destination - Occupational hazard. Sewing has a way to set my heart and mind thinking and exploring questions of life. Here's a challenging piece in process. My kind of vibes. #faithprojects #ahlisews #chow_ahlisews #chow邹 #chowmemade #handmadeinsg #madeinsingapore #homemadegifts #homemadecrafts #giftsforher #sgcrafters #sgmakers #sglocal #sewingprojects #sewing #isew #customisedbags #fabricbag #bagmaker #bagmaking #isewbags #customised #europeanfabrics #手工包包 #手作 #自家製

| O n | Continue to sew a few more baby bibs for my lil granddaughter since staying home and keeping safety distance is the new norm for a season of time, and teaching is not required for the time being. Also busy fulfilling my commissioned orders, that which I am thankful for. A handful had asked me if I am still conducting sewing and knitting workshops, since this is a "good" or appropriate season as some see fitting to pick up a skill or hobby in the lull period. Is a Yes answer. Meanwhile, working out the new pre-cautionary measures required by our local authorities. Sewing workshops will be reduced to two participants while knitting to three. All sewing tools will be disinfected before and after each workshop, with sitting distance respected. So if you are keen to pick up a hobby, a skill or sewing/knitting a craft, drop us a text then. #faithprojects #ahlisews #chow_ahlisews #chow邹 #chowmemade #handmadeinsg #madeinsingapore #homemadegifts #homemadecrafts #sgcrafters #sgmakers #sglocal #sewingprojects #sewing #isew #customised #giftsforkids #giftsforbaby #babyshowergifts #chowbabybibscollection #手作 #自家製 #lil若恩

| P e r s e v e r a n c e | In mid February, I was prompted to sew mask covers to send to the needy and homeless in Hong Kong when I realised their need, and the lack of surgical masks in the market. These few days, I have been reading the sewist community in the States started sewing masks and mask covers for the medical staff due to the lack as well. Tonight, I recieved a text from my son requesting me to sew mask covers for his friend in Indonesia. And yes, I am sending them over. Looking beyond the Singapore shore and see what I can contribute. Hang on everyone, let's not grow weary or lose heart. Dawn breaks, surely it will. #faithprojects #ahlisews #chow_ahlisews #chow邹 #chowmemade #handmadeinsg #madeinsingapore #homemadegifts #homemadecrafts #sgcrafters #sgmakers #sglocal #sewingprojects #sewing #isew #chowmaskcovers #手作 #自家製

| N i g h t K n i t | Been experiencing straining pain in the upper arm for almost a month, and seems not getting any better although I have consulted a doctor and a chinese physician. I probably need to see a physiotherapist instead as I guess I might have the condition of coracobrachialis. So, I made adjustment to knitting in the night instead of sewing into the wee hours. Bought these smoothing cornflower shades eco-cotton yarns from @yarning.hearts few weeks back for a blanket project, commissioned by a grandma. Can you see the formation of the pattern unfolding? Knitting, definitely my kind of therapeutic language. #faithprojects #ahlisews #chow_ahlisews #chow邹 #chowmemade #handmadeinsg #madeinsingapore #sglocal #sgcrafters #sgmakers #babyshowergifts #giftsforbaby #giftsforkids #knittingprojects #naturalyarns #ecocottonyarn #chowblanketcollection #手作 #自家製

| W e t B a g | My next sew for granddaughter 若恩 is a lightweight waterproof Wet Bag and an attachable pacifier strap. Using a waterproof fabric to sew a 12" by 14" wet bag to serve many usage purposes - keeping babies napkins, diapers, dirty clothes, swaddle, dirty clothes and wet swimsuits. Also sew two pacifier straps which can be easily attached or detached, and reached. Sewing with a mindset to make it easy for the busy mom to reach different baby essential especially during outdoors, and friendlier for our environment with reusable bags. Explore with us what you would like for your lil one, and having something that serve your purposes bringing us much delight. #faithprojects #ahlisews #chow_ahlisews #chow邹 #chowmemade #handmadeinsg #madeinsingapore #homemadegifts #homemadecrafts #sgcrafters #sgmakers #sglocal #sewingprojects #sewing #isew #customised #reusablebags #chowwetbags #pacifierstrap #giftsforkids #giftsforbaby #reducewaste #sustainable #babyshowergifts #手工包包 #手作 #自家製 #lil若恩

| M a t u r i t y | Recieved news from my son this afternoon that my granddaughter 若恩 might arrive earlier than the expected delivery date as she is weighing too heavy now at 34 weeks. Oh mine, fat baby. So grandma has to speed up my sewing spree instead of cruising. Here's the Pooh pillow and bolster casing set, again, Pooh. Thanks to those who commissioned me to sew and knit for their grandchildren. It's a wonderful time to celebrate the season of being a grandparent, together. #faithprojects #ahlisews #chow_ahlisews #chow邹 #chowmemade #handmadeinsg #madeinsingapore #homemadegifts #homemadecrafts #sgcrafters #sgmakers #sglocal #sewingprojects #sewing #isew #customised #giftsforkids #giftsforbaby #babyshowergifts #winniethepooh #camelotfabrics #手作 #自家製 #lil若恩

| N a p k i n s | I grew up in a family culture using handkerchieves (or napkins) and towels, where disposable tissues were not a common sight. This habit continues even when I hit 50s, and I find value in doing so. Logically, I began to sew reusable napkins for my granddaughter 若恩 and convinced to pass this tradition down. I choose 100% soft flannel, two plys for the made and attached a sling to one of the reusable napkin, leaving the other two without. Measuring about 10" by 10", these reusable napkins are soft to the skin and easy to care for. Toss it into the washing machine for a quick wash or hand rinse it, then hang to dry. There's plenty of ways to use the reusable napkins. Use it as a burp cloth for your babies; napkins to clean and bath them with especially when cleaning their heads; or for breastfeeding moms who need to wipe off excess drool. Extras: Who says you can't use these as reusable dish towels? I did. For keen and curious "triers", drop us a text for customised pieces or to find out more. #lil若恩
