You know I don't cook if I can help it... So I bought white bread and a can of Ayam Brand Tuna with Mayo on my way back from work. I'm eating it now as I type. Voila! Dinner's done.
...
Hubs and I sprang out of bed this morning. It was 7 am. And I was supposed to reach school by 7:20. Oh well, since I am now officially a relief teacher, I couldn't really care less. ;D
Reached school at 7:45 am.
I only had one period of lesson today... busied myself with the paperwork required for contract teaching. Feeling sorry for the trees...
Left the school at 1:30 pm sharp and felt pretty happy with myself! Last to come, first to go. Heh heh...
I dropped by the sewing supplies store and bought the following:
iron-on interfacing ($1.50 for a huge huge sheet! Cheap!)
a couple of zips (35 cents each)
red cotton binding tape ($1)
white lace (60 cents/yard, I bought two)
I was so hoping to find linen coloured lace and binding tape but they don't carry such cool stuff... ;P I'm just hoping that Spotlight carries them.
...
After I reached home, I put on a facial mask (peel off type) and had a 45 min nap. It was good! Plus the mask picked up lotsa clogged-pore gunk.
So that's what I call 'double the joy'.
Set off to put my interfacing to good use and made this little bank book holder though I'm sure I'll end up using it as a purse.
I had some problem sewing the zip on... at one point I didn't know how to position it so that it wouldn't sew onto other parts of the cloth... There's gotta be a way around that...
Anyway, I managed and here's the result. Dimensions L15 cm by W12.5 cm.
All you need is two pieces of cloth (outside and lining) and a piece of interfacing to make it stiff, all 27 cm by 19 cm, and a 16 cm zip. I got this Japanese pseudo-sashiko cotton at IKEA. They were having a sale and it only cost $5 a metre.
Ok... that's the story of my first project that involves a zip.
...
I have two exam papers due next Monday. I am so not going to make the deadline!
This is reality...
Oh well, heck.
Gonna watch some telly and make myself another (huge!) serving of the tuna sandwich. I may even play a round of Guitar Hero after that. ;D
