My asymmetrical vest in Bangkok!

Last week just right before leaving Jakarta - Bangkok,

I scored these romanian architecture-like babies at an upholstery store while looking for sofa fabrics. Initially, I had all intention to make a pencil skirt out of it, but I don't have a sewing machine. And what's cooler and easier to make than a pencil skirt - a vest!

Instructions and pictorial below for the DIY steps.

Lets go!:

1. Buy a really nice fabric of your choice. 

2. The length and width could be of any measurement you like depending on how much drape you prefer. In this particular vest, it was a 1m(W) x 1.4m(L).

3. Measure your back [from pit to pit] 

4. Find the centre of the fabric vertically, measure out the length of your back, add 2cm of ease of each side.

5. From there, draw an approximately 15-20cm line on each side [depending on how big your arm-hole is]

6. Cut along the line

7. Voila~

Anyway, Bangkok was simply divine. 

I actually have not been there in a year and a half and it's silly of me to forget how much I actually miss that chaotic city. I'll have more posts up on the blog within these couple of days. Stay tune.

P.S. 

These pictures were taken in the beautiful hotel room that I stayed in. VIE Hotel. Splendid from the interior, to the location, facilities and service. Great price for a 5-star boutique hotel. Click here to check their webpage out. 

Sincerely,

Macrame knots

I desperately want to master the skills of braiding these macrame hanging pots. My DIY was successful but ain't half as pretty as these beauties. Meanwhile, I will have to master them before this Christmas for the event. Images and DIY tutorial will be up by then.

Wedding in Ipoh

Vintage Volkswagan van with 1960's flower power print.

Giant gorgeous blue hydrangeas (yes, its just one stalk) potted into a silver tin, tied around the church pew.  

The whole setting has an old dutch colonial charm. Reminds me of my late grandmother's old rattan furniture she treasures so dearly. Ah, reminiscing... 

Fyi, the couple standing by the door are not the bride and groom. They are just messing around. 

Fresh ivy leaves and gerbera flowers in all the pop colours were used throughout the reception table.

 Tissue pom-poms fromWonderland . These are the best and easiet props to use. Especially if the interior is orignally unappealing, just spam these pom poms. From ceiling to floor. They will definitely work. Wonderland has them in a huge variety of colours. :)

We also used gerberas flowers for centerpieces on all 62 tables. Arranged in maison jars and tied randomly with twine.

This wedding was dated months ago, even before I left for Jakarta. I know I am four months too late, but Congratulations to the couple, Desmond and Sarah again. :)  

Our friend, Tong was the brains behind the wedding. He was inspired to do a pop art themed wedding. The 3 of us had only 14 hours to rush out this wedding and we were running on only 1 hour of sleep. I remember catching a nap whenever I could in the car when we were heading towards a different location. It was a crazy, hectic, impromto wedding and it was only the 3 of us running it. Despite all that, we really did had so much fun just enjoying each other's company. x.

Oh and special thanks to Tong for sponsoring this trip. So much love. x. Ok, this image isn't in Ipoh, but I can't find an image of us 3 together.

The dreaded first post.

We finally did it. Watch this space for our updates. Going on live right now!
