Today is my good friend Janice's Birthday.
A week and a half ago we were scratching our heads on what to get for her.
By the way, Happy Birthday Janice!
I must confess, am not a very creative person.
So decided to hint to her that I will be giving her an angpow.. but she requested for a bag instead.
So I have decide to employ Dora's creative sewing skills to sew a bag.
I sneaked into Kamdar to buy some fabrics.. things which I think she may like.. but I guess I bought what I liked.
Secretly, I brought back the cloth and show them to Dora. My genius sister aka cofounder of "Wonderful Mistakes" took a look, told me no problem and brought them home to sew. It took her a solid 5 hours to finish.
The following monday she showed me the almost finished bag and ask me bring it home to add that little something to it before she finish.
The point I want to make in this blog entry is ..
this bag is my first bag design. I drew inspiration from another bag I have. But the fabric combination is something I thought about..I love it . I love the fact that Dora manage to turn my ideas into a reality. I love the way it look even though it wasn't finish. I sat there that night wondering if Janice would love it as much as I do. I am a crazy bag fan and can always do with an extra bag. I set there with my first design.. and wish it would stay there with me forever.
I took some pictures with it. I took pictures while I am sewing it. I took becos I know it is not my to keep.
it is a bag. what if it had been a child you carry inside you for nine months.. what would that feeling be like?
I parted it with the comfort knowing that my friend who now owns it would cherish and love it perhaps more than me and dora.
Janice,
All of us Peppies love you very much Janice.. so we went through so many discussions before deciding on what to give you this year..though we know how you feel about an angpow but really we do want you to decide ultimately... cos all of us want you to be happy.
Lots of love always
DIANE
