Everlasting Beauty

My mum, many moons ago loved to sew.She sewed day and night almost on everything she likes.

This dusk pink 'baju biku'(blouse)she made in the fifties.As you can see, there re no buttons on it.So you have to secure it with a kerongsang(brooches).see pics side bar.

The sewing process is long and tedious especially the fine embroidery work.

She stopped sewing after she fell ill.

What i love is her choice of colors and patterns.Its not the same with what you can get from the other baju biku's maker.

Now she sews only for our family little new arrivals, a little flannel blanket.The blanket is hand stitched. Either with flowers and small animals for girls or car and trucks for boys.

So tell me what 's your love lately?
