My very first attempt at making a Paw Me Coin Pouch turned out very well. Not perfect, but satisfactory. It was done with the guidance of my mom, who was in Singapore at that time.I stopped making anything for a while after that, & resumed making a 2nd piece of Paw Me Coin Pouch a few weeks after she went back to Indonesia.
Somehow, it didn't turn out well. Undaunted, I tried to make a 3rd piece. Turned out badly too. I wasn't sure what went wrong, & wondered if there's something I missed along the way.
I left it at that, & made other stuff (Bible Covers & Foldable Eco Bags) & those turned out well, & I'm happy & my confidence level increased. However, Paw Me Coin Pouches are still a "no-no" for me... ^^ (perhaps I was just not ready to burst my "confidence" bubble to face a potentially disappointing 4th piece).
Then came an enquiry, & an order for 10 pieces of Paw Me Coin Pouches. Got my attention alright! I'll definitely direct this large order back to my mom, but decided to make a serious effort trying to make another piece (carefully now...), & if it turned out well & satisfactory, I'll take over this order instead.
The Japanese Pink Dots was it. Turned out great, & comparable to my mom's usual standard. Armed with this extra surge of confidence, I was ready to take down this order for 10 pieces. Alas, the buyer found something else she liked, & decided to move on instead, hehe...
No worries! It's no loss, only gain for me, as I've overcame the "Paw-Me-obstacle" >*<>
Just to stock up (at the same time making use of the pretty fabrics I've purchased recently), I made another piece, in the Flower Bed (Green) fabric.
So delicate & pretty, I can't wait to make more of them! ^^
