Patchworks Part 3

Last month my sister came to me with a bag full of clothes in peces.....

When i opened the bag... i saw these and spread them on the floor... woooowww....






She made them pieces by pieces and haven't got the time to complete the blanket. She is too busy sewing blankets which were pre-ordered.
I can imagine if she really complete all the above projects, the results would be amazing.

Patchworks Part 1

Cutting, matching and sewing the many pieces of clothes to form a bigger piece... that is my understanding of a patchwork... be it a blanket, table runner, wall hang or pillow case...

my sister and I share the same passion... patchwork.. i used to do it few years back only to find out that it's time consuming and I don't have time to do it after gave birth to my first child..

some of our collections are sold. I post some photos of the blankets, in Bidayuh we call it japuo.
The japuo patchwork blankets are carefully sewn by machine, cotton cloth (not used but bought new) and flannel cloth underneath it. I like the colour combination. See them for yourself...

This was sold to a cousin.
Price : RM130.00
Size : Queen Size

Sungi Country Collection

Hi people.... I am so thrilled to write my first few sentences here...
I am a native from Borneo, Sarawak. Carrying the image from a Bidayuh community, I treasure memories in the past mostly about my kampung life (country lifestyle)
One of it is mamuh di botang sungi in Malay it's mandi di sebatang sungai in English taking a bath at the river.
Not really the normal bath, it's more to having fun before I head home for the real shower. The boys would normally show off thei acrobatic skill by jump dive into the river from a tree or from the wooden bridge (now all the sentimental belian bridges have been replaced by concrete culverts and concrete bridges).
The boys will normally mimic the tarzan sound... waaahhh, didn't know that there were tarzans around during my time.. lol

So, that few sentences i would consider as a brief introduction to my background. Sungi in Bidayuh means river / stream. Why i choose Sungi Country Collection? All my life, i just love to think that i am a good artist who can draw very well (blueeekkk!)... during my free time, i would make sketches of a view of river with  wooden house(s) by the riverside and birds roaming their way for foods. Yes, i am a nature lover...

The image i have in mind
Ok, now back to the topic...Sungi Country Collection is simply a store which collect stuffs from the desa cottage.. It reflects collectibles normally found among the people in Sarawak especially from the kampung which represent their lifestyle. The items represent their activities be it as their hobby or as a way to earn a living.
I am now trying to gather some collectibles which are popular among the housewives. As a start, i have some collection of patchworks blankets...which i will talk about in the next segment...
