I haven't been updating much nowadays, but I hope you guys do check back once in a while. anyhows, the other day as i was cleaning out my rooom, i found a little joy of discovery. I managed to unearth a little piece of treasure from my mom's past. Before, i knew my mom had done a little sewing in her early days. But nowadays she hasn't been doing it anymore so it seems like a 'dying trait' i should acquire.
So, as i was digging out the cupboard, i re-found this vintage picnic basket bag :) I was so excited, in fact I'm already thinking of a picnic trip to bring them out!
I was even delighted when i saw the contents inside. It was the last remains of my mom's sewing- & for a moment I felt a flashback of my childhood days. I used to play with them when i was a kid, you know like they were the coolest things i could get my hands on!

there was a whole bag of buttons, some new and vintage ones. now i know i don't have to buy buttons anymore.

lots of embroderies, ribbons & vintage laces for clothes.

and this cool knitting kit which i remembered so clearly- i used to
play dentist with it when i was a kid. I would "victimized" my little sister to open up her mouth and pretend checking her teeth.

I found a very old book which was supposed to be mom's notes for her sewing stuff. the great thing was, i didn't knew she made her clothes from scratch! i've been dying to learn how to sew clothes rather than just modifying them...

there were really pretty vintage designs she kept in the book. perhaps dating from 70s onwards. im loving one of the military-inspired design .. 



and lastly, i found this at the back of the book.
everything was sooo familiar, the shoes, the hands and everything. & then i realized at the back of my mind, it was one of those childhood drawing i love to scribble ignorantly in mom's book. how cute right? it makes you reminiscence your childhood- how i miss them but still, i love how my childhood turned out :)
with love,
