DIY Notebooks

Hey guys!

It's September :D

It was my first time sewing using Simplicity Pattern.

I made few mistakes while sewing this. Nevertheless, I am happy with the end result!

DIY Notebook using sewing machine

Since I did not own any quilting clips (wonder clips), I used clothes pins as a substitute.

I used ribbons and washi tapes to decorate my notebooks~

It is so simple to make them! I think I will be making more of these! :D

Recommended Books:

Six of Crows & Crooked Kingdom

I love love love this duology.

They blow my mind and I have high expectations because of the reviews.

I am so glad to give Leigh Bardugo another chance as I didn't quite enjoy the grisha trilogy.

This duology did not disappoint me at all.

I absolutely adore all of the characters and I find myself thinking about them once in a while.

That just shows how much I am in love with the duology.

Enough said.

If you are looking of action pack with a good plot and some bad-ass characters, this duology is for you!

:)

1st Day of Ramadhan

Hello~

I finally got my stack of fabric to work on new projects!

Last week, I made myself a lace skirt. HEHE.

It turns out super cute.

I can't wait to wear the skirt out.

The japanese sewing book is a good buy. :)

Recommended korean dramas:

Tunnel

Picture Credit: To rightful owner

Tunnel is a drama about a detective named Park Kwang Ho.

He accidentally time traveled while he was trying to catch a serial killer.

He eventually found out the real reason why he was in a time-slip.

It is either to catch the killer or stay in the future (without identity).

It sounds typical because of the time-travelling concept.

However, after ending the series yesterday night, I think the writer and team has done a fantastic job.

*Applause*

I absolutely love the suspense this drama gives.

It's not perfect, plenty of loopholes, but I can deal with them because the storyline is super good.

I love the ending of this drama- not too dramatic or unrealistic.

Great Job to the team of Tunnel!

I am so thankful to OCN because it has been providing good Thriller dramas and I hope they continue to do so.

Update on my life

Hello every body!

I hope you have been doing great!

And I know, I was gone for a very long time.

Hence, I would like to give you an update on what I have been doing during my absence from blogger.

1. Reading
   I've been spending plenty of my time reading. I realised that last year I didn't read as much as I used to back in 2015. Reading is a very good habit and I shouldn't be lazy when it comes to reading! Therefore, I followed some booktubers which could recommend me some wonderful books. I am so glad to have stumble across few great booktubers over the span of 2months. Their recommendations have make my February reads enjoyable.
   
   
   Best picks:
   - Illuminae Trilogy ( The last book is coming out next year!!! )
   - Falling Kingdom Series ( The last book is coming this Dec. I haven't read the 5th book because some one else is borrowing it from the library. Never mind patience is virtue! )
   - The Raven Boys Series ( I've only read the first book and OMG I cannot forget how the story goes! I love it so much. I cannot wait to borrow the next three books from the library! )
   - Red Rising Trilogy ( This is one of the best adult sci-fi fantasy books I've read. I am currently reading the 2nd book and I am not disappointed! Also the 3rd book is in my possession. Woohoo! )
   
   
2.  Upcycled
   I haven't bought any fabric this year because saving money has always been a priority in my life and I wish to purchase fabric at a cheaper price. Both making it difficult for me to buy any kind of fabric I wish to own. D: Since I do not have any fabric, I played with my old clothing which I rarely wear and I've never worn before. I swear sewing has been my most favourite thing to do over the weekend, I truly enjoyed upcycling so much!
   
   
   
   
3. Overlock machine
   I was working on a project and my machine sounded weird. It's a super old machine which I refuse to believe it cannot be salvaged. I am planning to buy machine oil to see if it helps solve the problem which I hope it does. It upsets me every time I think of it. I have so many sewing projects I wish to carry out but why won't my machine work with me?!?!?!?!?! :( I guess I have to go back to using zizag stitching.
   
4.  Korean dramas
   I am currently watching 6 dramas. Some of them are just meh and three are fantastic (Defendant, Voice and Chief Kim). I am planning to switch to Japanese dramas when some of them end. Though I may not. I'm not sure.

Well, that's about it. Till then!

XOXO,

Mahirah
