Yoyo Projects

Today I want to write about fabric yoyo. It's very easy and fun to make but a very good embellishment for any project. Or, you can make project with just fabric yoyo such as brooch, table runner, sofa spread etc....whatever you can imagine. There are many tutorials on how to make fabric yoyo in the internet so I will not going to show you any here. But below are some links that you can click if you need a tutorial. -HeatherBailey -Zakkalife -Whipup OK.Back to my story. Below are some projects that I've made using Clover Yoyo Makers I've bought long time ago in Japan. Not that I'm too lazy to draw a circle whatsoever but with yoyo maker you can make precise size for your yoyo and also with a lot of design too. You need more imaginations and skills if you want to make flower yoyo or heart-shape yoyo or even butterfly-shape yoyo. Tomorrow I will upload all the yoyo that I have.

Jeans Recycle Bag

I've dreamed of having jeans recycle bag for so long and TODAY my dream comes true. This bag is quite bulky as I was using my old torn Ladylike jeans size 34. But overall I satisfied with the result. I didn't follow any pattern or tutorial just sewing as I go. Thanks to my NV50 as no needle broken whatsoever during the process.Here's the pictures.

Front view

I used drawstring idea for closure. Remark the handle...very solid and strong.

Inside view. No pocket as there are too many pockets outside.

Weird. But can be use as secret hiding place.

Back view. No comment : )

I think it is really fun to experiment with jeans as contrary that it is thick and difficult to sew. And it also good for hand sewing as I did it to attach the lining. My opinion, great project to test drive your sewing machine.Chao!!

Simply Delicious Red Bean Buns

Hoyahoya...feeling eating red bean bun at the middle of the nite. And the result...yummy!!

Gebuss...

This what you get when you do not equally divide  the ball...

The inside...hohooya...

And the recipe is from MamaFaMi's blog. Sorry mama pasting here without your consent first.
Below is half from original recipe as what I've done. Made some modifications on how to do it. Let's bake!!

Source : Ixora II,MamaFaMi

Ingredients :

100ml water

1 medium egg (Leave it some to brush on the bun)

45g castor sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 tablespoon dough softener

250g high protein flour

2 tablespoons milk powder

1/2 tablespoon bread improver

5g instant dried yeast

1 1/2 tablespoons margarine (I used butter)

enough red bean paste

sesame seeds

Method :

1. Pour water, egg, sugar, salt and dough softener into the bread maker pan. Top it with flour, milk powder, bread improver, and yeast.

2. Set the bread maker to Dough function.

3. Once the dough is just combined, add in margarine. (I put the butter together with dry ingredients in Step 1).Leave the bread maker to continue doing it's job. This process will take about 1 1/2 hour including prooving.

4. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Form each dough into a ball and rest for 10 minutes.

5. Flatten the dough and place the red bean filling in the middle and wrap the filling with the dough. Arrange on a baking tray.

6. Cover the buns with damp cloth and let it rise until double in size (it takes another 30-40 min). Brush the buns with some egg wash and sprinkle with some sesame seeds..

7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 C for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden brown.

8. Once out of the oven, brush with a bit of margarine butter. Place on a wire rack to cool. Keep in an airtight container.
