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...

Japan Trip June 2016 - Part 9 - Osaka

It was a super hot and bright morning and we were all packed and ready to ride the train to Osaka. We had no excuse to take a taxi so we walked to Kyoto Station... It was a rather short ride considering we moved cities, it was still around noon when we arrived at Osaka Station. The AirBnb property I had booked looked close to the station on the map, but it was further than expected. We were so sweaty by the time we got there, mostly because of our backpacks and our suitcases! I was very impressed Miss Kiki carried her backpack without complaints even though it was pretty stuffed by then. Taken from Osaka Station We had to change our wet and sticky clothes upon arrival, and after a bit of rest we decided to head out. First to Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street listed on a tourist guide just over 1 km away. It was so hot and sunny I regretted not taking a hat for any of us. I was lucky I hadn't forgotten to bring my sunglasses. When we got there, we real...

Motykas in Asia 2016 Part 7 - West Java

One day after we arrived in Jakarta from Phuket, we went on a road trip to Bandung, West Java. We were on a roll! Hahaha. Our first destination was the White Crater, a beautiful place located in Ciwidey, outside Bandung.  We left our home at around 7 am and arrived at the crater at almost noon. It was a loooong drive. Nonetheless, the view was breathtaking. It was a bit chilly up there, even the Winnipegers pulled out their jackets. :D The crater was pale green with strong sulphur smell, they recommend a maximum of 15 minutes at the bottom. Around the crater were serene looking tree barks with little or no leaves. During a certain time of the day, there would usually be fog coming down over the crater but we didn't get to see it. We spent about an hour at the crater and we moved on to the Rancabali Tea Plantation about 3 km away for some pictures. Miss Kiki was so...
