I was feeling extremely stressful last Thursday.\u00a0 \u00a0Why?\u00a0<\/strong> I realise that I might miss some deadlines that I have set earlier.\u00a0 I need to reevaluate my priority and my capability.\u00a0 But, thinking too much about it makes me feel suffocated and I started to have the usual physical symptom that I acquired when I did PhD.\u00a0 \u00a0This is not good.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To divert myself from the things that I have in my mind, I went to IKEA to look at some left-over fabrics that might be on sales.\u00a0 I also went to Kamdar and Jakel (both don’t have much choices though).\u00a0 \u00a0I bought a half meter fabric from IKEA which cost me RM6.45.\u00a0 I decided to use it as the lining.\u00a0 So, with the existing left-over fabrics from my sister’s and my baju kurung, I started to mix-and-match the fabrics.\u00a0 \u00a0After spending around nearly 8 hours of sewing (with intermittent break to do some gardening), I managed to finish 5 pouches.\u00a0 I used all the zippers that I bought last Monday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"After<\/a>
After sewing few pouches through trial-and-error, these are among the best ones<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My friend suggested that perhaps I should make a tag to indicate that the pouch is hand-stitched<\/a> without using sewing machine.\u00a0 So, I created a simple tag with UTM Care and Charity logo.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
I tied a tag with brief explanation about the pouch. To give a little personal touch to it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When I gave the pouches to the person-in-charge at UTM Care and Charity Shop, he asked me “Berapa nak letak harga ni kak?<\/em>“.\u00a0 I told him that I made the pouches using left-over fabrics.\u00a0 It does not cost much.\u00a0 It is up to him to put the price.\u00a0 He scrutinized the pouches.\u00a0 I told him that I made a tag just to give a personal touch.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Making pouch is a hobby.\u00a0 I like sewing.\u00a0 \u00a0It is also a way for me to destress with minimal cost.\u00a0 \u00a0I don’t know how many pouches that I can make per week.\u00a0 It depends on my emotional state though (really).\u00a0 In sha Allah I will keep on making it as a means to destress.\u00a0 I really need to have a balance work-leisure lifestyle.\u00a0 Since I am not really into sports, this is my choice to destress.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>: I still do not take order for this pouch.\u00a0 Nope.<\/p>\n\n\n
