Eid Inspiration - vol 3

Salaam,

Every girl loves a new bag, even the little girls. My little girl Dilshad, absolutely loves bags. "little" bags are just as expensive these days, its crazy! So im posting an article of how to make your own bag, it'll be unique, she could personalise it with pearls or flowers or studs, let your little one help, it's great mom and daughter time.


fabric, two plastic bracelets, scissors, needle and thread, buttons/gems for decoration if desired. You’ll be using a DVD for your pattern!
A
1. Let your daughter pick out her favorite DVD to use for the project. Fold your fabric in half. Open the DVD and lay it on the fold of the fabric and cut around it. If your daughter is old enough to use scissors, you can trace around the DVD and let her cut the shape out.

2. Open the piece and lay it flat. Fold down about 1″ on the top and the bottom and press.

3. Fold in half again, right sides facing this time, and press. Sew from the fold up to about 1.5″ from the top (before you get to the fold). You may want to stop 2″ or 3″ from the top, depending on how big your little one’s hands are. Repeat on the other side.

4. Turn the bag right side out. Take one of the plastic bracelets and place it under the top fold. Handstitch the bracelet into the fold, gathering the fabric around the bracelet as you go. Repeat on the other side.

Eid Inspiration - vol 2

Aslm Wr Wb,

Hijab and Make - up

 Some like it plain and simple and only wear eye pencil and lipstick. Then there women that wear from the foundation and powders to blush and eyeliners. We all have different tastes and styles. So ill post several pictures of different styles of make - up. Remember, you are all beautiful whether you wear make-up or not.

The makeup compliment their hijab so well in the below pictures. Hope these inspire you :)





















Eid Inspiration - vol 1







Aslm WR WB,
I love the colours green and gold these days. Bold bright strong colours.
this is a beautiful, rich colour for eid. And if you know of a great dress maker, you could get a coat made, just incase we have a cold and wet day.
In'shallah, I wish all readers well over the month of ramadaan.
