Well I got my cup for only 70 cents at Tanjong Rhu market from Hua coffee and drink #01-23.
I think it's the cheapest you can find.

Made more pouches yesterday morning and though this is my 4th attempt of making the double sided zipper pouch, I still did not perfect it. There are still mistakes.
I am determine to perfect it.

Adeline's birthday
Brought my Fujifilm mini 7S instant camera to Adeline's birthday celebration and the photos turned out well. We had fun decorating the boarders as well.
Erinna was suggesting of taking fawn's photo on her birthday every year till she hit 21, and I thought it is a great idea. Can see how she grows up through the years.
I realized we dun need to take multiple shots of the group for everyone as we could just snap a copy of the instant photos and save in our hand phone.

Patience
SB said, as long as it makes me happy, continue to sew as many bags as possible. Well! While sewing this double pouch, I actually lost my cool and was frustrated.
This is my third attempt and there was still mistake. You probably can't see from the outside cos the mistake was in the internal lining.
For sewing, when you make a mistake, undoing the thread can be very frustrating. It is a tedious process and in the process, the cloth can be torn too.
Just like in life, it is better to do the right thing and do it right rather than to have to mend your mistakes.

Coin pouch
Spent my Saturday night making coin pouches. Made 4 of them. I personally am satisfied with the black one. It looks neat and masculine. The thickness of the material plays a part.
The pink ones look very Japanese. The material looks good when made into small pouches like these.
