Swee ching....that really sounded sew evil....you do have a diabolical thread / streak in you!

[Ching]

it's been really enjoyable doing the workshop with all you brave souls who came! This is one class I sew enjoy teaching... seeing you concentrated sew hard while stitching, and hearing stories like
"my husband got worried when I told him i'm going for a sewing class... he thought i changed new hobby!"
"my mother will be sew proud of me, for actually sewing something!"
"i have never sewn so much in my entire life!"
thank you for keeping up with the sewing instructions and dtsress techniques... and giving me more ideas for future classes... Sew Siong(Tedious), Sew Scary, Sew Difficultz, Take Sew Long, Sew Lah Ti Doh!!!

[Gladys]

LOL !!! U forgot the sewing machine aka white elephant part !

Well, he was quite amazed when I showed him what I did in class & commented "oh, u REALLY sewn on PAPER?!?" quite unbelievingly still though :doh:

Thoroughly enjoyed the class and thanks for a fantastic workshop once again ! :yo:

[divineparadise]

After I went home, I continued sewing the frame and finished up the swirls on the inside - my mum saw me sewing and she was so surprised!

Wah, she said. Never seen you hold needle before LEH!!

Anyway, this is Abby.

Thanks Siew Ching and also to Shan (sp?) for lending me the glue tape!!

[esther]

Couln't sleep at 3 am, and went to the living room to sew. Now thinking abt lo2. cos must have photo or journaling before fitting the inchies around.

[melbz]

Yeah it was such a fun and cosy class! Finished a fair bit of sewing last night. I just need to get started on the journalling and finish sewing those portions. Last night, I had the sudden urge to pick up cross-stitch again!!! Haha!

Hey Abby, no worries at all!

Thank you Swee Ching for such a wonderful workshop. Now I'm sew inspired to add a touch a sewing to my other layouts!

[divineparadise]

For Layout 2, I kinda started at the left hand side/corner of the cardstock already and pasted my photo. Thinking of which words to use...

[Jen]

hey Swee, another title from melbz - "Sew Inspired"...
we can Sew go on and come up with Sew many possible titles...Sew Fun!
i love adding stitches to LOs and paper crafts - it's an interesting combination of textures.

[divineparadise]

Swee Ching, what did you do to the Platform Thickers in Layout 2? Is it just inking it in white?

[wuling]

It's not inking.
It's just sanding the brown thickers.
Hope this helps.

:becky:

[divineparadise]

I finished LAYOUT 2 this weekend!!! I didn't sew as much for the wordings, just a few words...

But I absolutely love the mosaic style!

[find_janice07]

[Evelyn]

and all you ladies who are stitching and thinking about the second LO, teacher here is very glad to hear that you are all doing your homework! i'm curious what photos are you putting on that layout and what story are you telling!

[Evelyn]

Swee Ching...can lah...do a part 2...it'll be fun!!! hehehe...as long as you can stand our nonsense and our shortcuts! :D

[bloch]

Swee Ching...can lah...do a part 2...it'll be fun!!! hehehe...as long as you can stand our nonsense and our shortcuts! :D

Just remember to get Evelyn and Felicia to do the first class and then pass on the short-cuts! :tongue1:

[Ching]

ya! if i do run the part 2 class, i'll reserve 2 slots in the first session for the 2 of them and make sure i take note of all the short-cuts they come up with (amazing!!!), then pass on the special tips to the other classes... chia you two coffee for the tips!

[Jen]

what shortcuts? share share leh!
uh...i haven't quite cont'd from the time of the class till now...oops...but i will pick it up soon - sew don't scold me hor, teacher Ching!

[totoro47]

i have also finished all the sewing for LO1... now thinking what photo to use...
as for LO2, im stuck with how to arrange the squares..
