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.

New: customized pencil case

Morning dearies~

Introducing new product from stitchNknot... customized pencil case!

Customized pencil case

Code: PC-001

Size: 9x5inch 

Color: assorted

Materials: fleece fabric, cotton, batting and ykk zippers;

They're made from soft fleece fabric which is fused with batting for sturdiness, and lined with cotton. As usual, they are embellished with embroidery and felt. You can customized them yourself; using your own design or let us design it for you!~ Please visit our catalog for more info :)

Those five colorful pencil cases are actually 2nd order from Nurelly. I've made two of them before in September (not in picture), for her and her sister; and these are additional order made in November for her family and friends. More picture will be added later :)

Till then  lovelies.. it's time to sew!

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.

We've seen enough of the red 'together forever' couple pillows, haven't we? So here's something new for a change; a couple of baby pink 'together forever' pillow, ordered by Nurul Azma last August. The adorable felt characters are made based on her wedding stickers :)

'Together forever' couple pillow

Meet Awan, my new pet plushie, born on 6th October 2012. Awan is actually a hug-able, fluffy, white sheep! Adorable ain't he?

Hello! My  name is Awan  <3

He is pretty huge, measuring approximately 40x38cm. Unlike other pillow, Awan is made from fleece fabric (with a little bit of velboa, felt and cotton for his legs, face and ears respectively). And that makes him super soft and cuddly!

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 :)
