Tulle Carnation Tutorial

On Friday I promised you a tutorial for the fabric flower that I made for Miss Kiki's Birthday outfit. It's actually quite simple. I followed a tutorial by Jen Renee, using her instruction for fabric flower No. 2. This is how I did mine:



  1. Cut fabric into circle shapes. I cut it close to the size that I want my flower to be. I used pink and blue tulle with glitters, 8 circles each.
  2. I take a pair of circles, one pink and one blue, and fold them in half with blue on the inside.
  3. I fold them again one more time to a quarter circle shape.
  4. I sew the bottom (the centre of the circle) together so they don't unfold
  5. Repeat steps 2 and 3, alternating the colour order. This means the second one I did had the blue on the outside and pink on the inside. Sew the first and second one together and keep adding until you get the desired fullness. I used 8 of each colour in my flower.
  6. This is what it looks like at this point.
  7. I separated the blue and pink fabric that was folder together by hand to get more fullness, and then I attached it with string to a safety pin. Voila!
I think after this I will make another one and embellish them on her flip flops.




Here's a shoe with leather carnation. Love them! I didn't make these, but I sell the shoes. They're from Argentina.

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!šŸ˜Š Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka   and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka  because they had a sale.  In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana  ...
