New: Couple in love pillow

Greeting lovelies,

We've finally added a few products in stitchNknot catalog, and one them is this lovely pillow, made especially for couples. Made from fleece, they are soft and durable compared to flannel. As usual, everything is carefully stitched onto the pillow. Yeah, even those small pieces of felt leaves and flowers! So, if you ever decided they need a wash, please hand-wash them instead :)

Name will be hand-stitched on the brown felt tag~

A perfect gift for weddings and anniversaries ♥

Couple in love (pillow)

Description: made from soft and durable fleece; embellished with felt;

customized your own cute couple character;

with optional short quote/wishes embroidered at the back;

100% stitched (not glued)

Do visit our catalog for more info on this pillow :)

Experiment #1: fleece fabric

I've been experimenting with different type of sewing project for the past few months, using various fabrics. One of them is fleece.

Fleece is a durable and soft fabric, usually used to make blankets, hats and so on. It is a man-made fabric, usually made from polyester. A bit expensive compared to flannel, but still... affordable. I think it's perfect for  plushies and pillow-making as it is veeeery soft and comfy, light-weight, fast-drying and sturdy compared to flannel.

Since fleece is part of the stretch knit family of fabrics, I'm not sure if it can be machine embroidered. And after a series of unauthorized tryouts on my customers' pillow orders (hehe), I can say it works okay. I just need to pay extra attention to it, especially when loading the fabric on embroidery hoop, and while embroidering. Yes, it's easier to apply embroidery on flannel (for now). But I believe that will change over time, once I get the hang of it :)

Here's a few things I made with fleece:
(click to see larger image)

Pillows: 1. cupcake pillow (will be added to the catalog later)
2. doodle pillow (illustration provided by the customer ♥)

Plushies: 1. Awan the sheep 2. Rabbit plushy for my niece

Pencil case

So, which one is your favorite? Do let us know :)


p/s: Close-up picture on each product will be added later, once I finish editing them.

Order: 'Together forever' pillow in baby pink

Morning lovelies!

Sorry for the lack of update during this past few weeks. I've been busy sewing; working on pending orders and new product samples.

Other request: add date (at the back)

Thanks Syairah for your order. I'm really glad you like it!

Order: Customized friendship pillow

Made this in late July; a customized 'Ukhuwah till jannah' pillow, ordered by Syuhada.

Customized pillow

Color: baby blue

Theme: love / friendship

Wordings: 'Ukhuwah till jannah'

Other customization: 2 girls with hijab and baju kurung (blue & pink), 

holding a heart-shaped balloon with 'syue & mai' names on it.

Cute cupcake pillow!

The perfect cupcake is here! It's yummy, with no calories and no trans fat! Super huuuuge and fluffy too!!

Hugable cupcake pillow~

Cute cupcake pillow

Size: 30 x 32cm

Color: assorted

Description: made from flannel with felt embellishment; 

can add special message/wordings at the back;

a perfect gift for any occasion

(or you can just keep it for yourself ~)

The pink cupcake is actually my first prototype. Since the topping lines didn't really show, I've decided to add zigzag as decoration stitch in the second cupcake (i.e. the yellow one). Now it looks better right? Still, there will be small changes on my next cupcake pillow as I'm not really fond of its boxy-shaped bottom.

But still, it's super cute that I have to hide them for safekeeping from my sister! She actually threaten to kidnap those cuties and snuggle them for herself :P

They will be added to our catalog soon. Stay tune~ 
Edit: Added here :)

Order: Personalized name pillow (sweets theme)

Ordered by kak Zu for her 10 years-old daughter's birthday, Aisyah Nabila :) Aisyah loves pink and really into cute stuff! Since kak Zu didn't set the theme and kindly letting me play with my imagination, here's what I've came up for her~

Personalized name pillow with cute gingerbread man, tiny cupcake and sweets!

Close-up: Each applique letter is carefully hand-cut and machine stitched. Also applied machine embroidery to the other half of her names. Neat huh?

Pictures from various angles~

Personalized name pillow

Name: Aisyah Nabila

Theme: Cute + sweet dessert

Color: baby-pink + P6 printed flannel for the back

Bubble dialog: 'happy birthday' + 'from ibu & ayah'

After her birthday,  I got an email from kak Zu, and it really made my day reading this:

The pillow is so adorable. The sewing is neat and my daughter really loves it….Thanks so much for your hard work. It just can’t translate to money

Thanks kak Zu for trusting me on this :)

Order: 'I love U' customized couple pillow

Here's a couple pillow order by Haikal, made in late July. He wants it similar to the together forever couple pillow,  but with the wordings changed to 'I Love U' :)

Couple pillow with machine embroidered wordings, embellished with cute couple made from felt

'I love U' pillow

Theme: Love

Color: Dusty red

Character: girl in hijab + baju kurung; boy in tees

Thanks Haikal for your order. Hope you like it :)

Order: Youtube and twitter bird pillow

This is actually one of my latest order :) Ordered by Aimi in late August. These pillows are made as per her requests: youtube logo and twitter bird applique in front, with full line of wordings at the back. 

The logos are all cut by hand and applied with machine stitching, while the wordings are machine embroidered. Since the words are too long, I've divided them into two parts so they can fit into the hoop. By far, this is the longest time I've ever spent in front of the embroidery machine :)

I love how they turn out. Simple and clean!

Thanks again Aimi for your order. Hope you like it :)

Order: Couple pillow + plushie

Ordered by Nur Syafiqah Maisara in July. This is actually the second set of 'Together Forever' couple pillow that I've made. It's really similar to the one I've made before (here), since she wants it exactly like that. Unfortunately, I've run out of dark-red colored fabric so she choose printed flannel instead for the back.

Together forever (machine embroidered) couple pillow

Color: dark red with P2 fabric at the back

Character customization: girl with hijab & baju kurung, boy in tee

Theme: love

Here's another order of hers; a kawaii turquoise neko plushie. Cute huh? :) Anyone remember it's twin, the grey neko?

Thanks dear for your order. I'm glad your cousin like the plushie :)

New version of 'Together forever' pillow!

We've decided to take a break from hand embroidery for a while. No worries though! We'll be back with lots of new design after improving our hand embroidery skills. But, it might take a while :(

Since the production of hand embroidered pillow is temporarily suspended, we've designed a new version of 'Together forever' pillow which will hopefully please you. 

'Together Forever 2' (machine embroidered pillow)

Size: 12x12 inches

Theme: flower / 3-leaf clover

More details...

It is made from flannel, with machine embroidered wordings and felt flower embellishment. Same as before, you can customized it by adding couple names beneath the 'Together Forever' embroidery. No name is embroidered for this particular pillow since it is merely a sample. There are two themes available: flower (this pillow) and 3-leaf clover (as in the old one).

More picture below:

We're using pastel color: sweet pink and purple embroidery
on baby-pink background

...embellished with light peach and cream colored flower,
topped with tiny pink buttons

Quality printed flannel at the back

So, what do you think of it? Do you prefer this or the old one? I personally love this color combination :)
