Winter is around the corner.It's mean more time for me to stay indoor.Well,not so fast.Mishu passed her flu and cold germs to me. I been coughing non-stop until I can feel my lung going to pop out when it's vibrated!!! ouch! it's hurt like hell!! but as long as my baby is well that all matters.I still have plenty of outdoor work to clean up before winter arrived.Some of my tropical plants need to be trim before transfer indoor.I also need to clean up my vegetables garden to prevent any disease for next year planting. So far these few days I'm just a couch potato.Watching CNN,Bloomberg,BBC,CBS,NBC,FOX,Oprah and Ellen show everyday without fail! no wonder Oprah is a famous figure!! as they said everything Oprah touched will turn into gold!! I never know what I had missed for the last couple of years back!!Hmmm...since I have OnDemand and HBO in the cable I might watch it as much as I can,right? why waste something has been paid!! well,enough all my ranting here..let's see what I get!
3 weeks ago Joanne's fabric and craft store had sale on their fabric and pattern! after picking up Mishu from her chinese school,we went shopping at Joanne! 
each pack of on sale pattern cost $0.99 only!! each customer limited to 10 packets each time.
so I took 2 trips back to Joanne to get a total of 20 patterns
actually buying ready made clothes in US and A is much cheaper than making the clothes yourself. But some people like sewing bcoz it's a hobby or maybe they can't find the clothes they want or fit.Other than that just shop our clothes at department store is much easier,simple,cheaper and have a better selection .
see? each original price printed on the packet. if it's not on sale I have to pay for the original price which I won't buy at all!! freaky expensive!!
I was so greedy...the fact to the matter is I dunno how to sew!! suprised right? wonder why I bought so much of patterns set! Last year I just took 2 hours sewing lesson and make Mishu's a set of halloween PJ's which she love dearly.Since then I bought a total of 2 sewing machines but unfortunately I had to return both sewing machine back to the seller.
Mishu was so excited when she see Disney Princess pattern
she asked mommy to make her Disney Princess costume...wau...la!! she thought her mommy is an expert tailor!! her mommy still have to find where is the left or right when sewing.Very amature!! so to solve the costume problem,mommy hop over to Wal-mart after Halloween coz it's sold at 75 % off the original price!! cheaper than getting fabric by itself.
no wonder people here at States only learn sewing as hobby or just learn the basic knowledge to be a fashion designer. when I took my 2 hours sewing lesson ,one of my classmate is a 16 years old gal who is a part time student at F.I.T who want to be a fashion designer..she just want to learn ahead than what FIT can teach her.
Mishu keep choosing her new PJ's pattern
each pack have minimum of 2 set patterns
isn't the coats pattern cute?
more patterns
and more
and this? look at Mishu face!! shocked! hahaha!
at last Mishu come out with this pattern for her PJ's
she chosen Penguin character fabric for her PJ's
wow!! so many patterns.....eh? it's can last me sew for a decade..huh? 
con-incidently my order from Amazon arrived..Any delivery to our frontdoor,Mishu must be the 1st person to open it!! She keep yelling"Happy Birthday mommy" even though it's no one birthday!!
Mishu can't wait to open,wondering what it's..I think it's raining that why UPS wrapped up the box with plastic bag
taa...dah!!
my favorite online site!!
at last I choose Brother's sewing machine again but this time it's a computerize machine with 60 embroidery stitches and functions .Read reviews online said it's great!! hope it's great as the reviewers said,if not I have to return again or hit my own head! hahaha!
was quite impressed with all the functions..must try out this machine first...anyway,come back and see what I had accomplished with Mishu's choosen PJ!

Lesley, looking forward to see your creations on your blog. I wish I could sew too, but I don't have the patience or the time.
Those are nice patterns. I bought some too but only sewed a few - mainly jammies before hubby left for TX. I can't wait to see your new sewing machine. It will be nice if a serger is around, easier to sew the hem.
Wow can become a tailor already!I didn't know you are interested in sewing too..Next time when you go back to KL I think you should buy cloth there coz I heard is cheaper. Looking forward to see your art work!
Hey Lesley,
Good luck with the sewing. Would love to see the outcome :)
p/s: your blog has been my daily read for the past 2 years. love it :)
Regina.
Wow, you bought so many patterns. This will keep you real busy during the winter. How are you and Mishu doing? Hope both of you are feeling better.
HI! would you mind selling any of those patterns? I can't find them here in malaysia... esp east malaysia... susah tau :)
Charmaine:
me too,don't have patience but want to please Mishu and to have a sew machine at home is great coz hubby always wanna me to fix the lenght of his pants or shirts.I aslo can hem pants for Mishu and etc..
Dawn:
oh!! Serger is expensive right? at first thought I thought to get Germany machine Pfaff but it's also expensive wt less functions..since I still a green horn I better stick to this inexpensive Brother machine..just looking at the 60 stitches many me "tau ton" lioa!
sunshine:
yalor! the fabric here is too expensive eventhought it's onsale..no 60 inch wide one only 45 inch..my mom also suggest I should get fabric from Msia,much much cheaper but I only main main,mana boleh called as tailor! hahaha!
