Corporate Sewing and Crafting Workshops

A client just pointed out that I did not state that we can conduct Crafting or Sewing Workshops for companies and corporations on their premises. So, yes, we do conduct workshops which can be tailor-made specially for your company. Do contact us for more details at barang888-info@yahoo.com.sg. 
We also conduct workshops at some bazaars like MAAD that we participate in if space permits.

DIY Paint your Purse or Pencil Case!

 Blank Canvas Zip Purse

Blank Canvas Pencil Case

During the 9 March 2012 MAAD, we offered DIY painting classes on canvas ($10) as well as designing on fabric purses and pencil cases ($18). I have sewn the above canvas purses and pencil cases to be drawn or painted with fabric markers, crayons or paints. They will be offered at the next MAAD as well. Do come down and create your own masterpiece for yourself or as a gift! Check out the following painting we did on some mini bags.

Painted Bag Examples

* Edited 15 November 2012
I have created a free tutorial for a parenting column in MyPaper 我报, on how to redesign your old T-shirt. This tutorial, however, can be applied to pencil cases, pouches, purses or bags. While, it is not painting, it is colouring with special markers. So, do visit the link at : http://barangshop.blogspot.sg/2012/11/this-weeks-mypaper-article-redesigning.html

Art Workshop at MAAD!

We offered for the first time, on-the-spot DIY Paint Your Own Canvas ($10) or Zip Purse/Pencil Case ($18) for kids & adults at MAAD on Friday, 9 March 2012. Teaching assistants were Treise and Dylan. In fact, I was away, buying dinner for the 3 of us at the nearby Maxwell Hawker Food Centre when the first child approached them to paint on the spot. Dylan called me to confirm the price for the painting session - it was $10 per canvas. By the time I came back to MAAD 10 minutes later, 3 kids were already painting and one had just made payment to Dylan to start. I was probably redundant since my 2 young assistants were managing the 4 kids very well. I already knew Treise can teach but I did not realise Dylan had hidden depths! Hmmm.... both Treise & Dylan received plenty of praises. So, the DIY Painting sessions are going to be a regular offering at MAAD as my 2 young assistants became very excited with their success and told me imperiously that I must get more pre-drawn canvases for the next MAAD! 

Canvas Shoe Painting

We did a session on painting on white canvas shoes, turn out really well. The shoes shown are drawn and painted by my 8-year old princess. We'll be offering this canvas shoe painting class soon. Shoes designs available are the mary jane for girls and velcro tabs sneakers for boys. Do drop us an sms or email if you are interested. Adults are welcome too!
