Madame,
Hello,
I want to know if you sell the production in the website. I like the macaron-coin-purse very much, i want to know where i can buy it in France or in China and what the price.
Thanks for you attention.Have a good day
YE YUMEI
Hi YE,
At this moment, I don’t sell product. This website is just for me to share my creations and developments.
Love your site! Now I just need to get motivated! Perhaps it’s time for a new sewing machine…that’s a great incentive!
i adore you so much. hopefully, one day I will be like you.
Hi Joanne! I just had to come back and peek at that gorgeous turtle pincushion that I absolutely fell in love with when I first saw him (2 months ago). Do or would you sell him? I have a lady that is a crafter and I want her to make me one (of course she is not able to find that bright material) around here
I have bookmarked your site and will definitely visit to enjoy all your crafts that you do. Thank you and have a great day!
Hi Karen, thanks for liking the turtle pincushion, unfortunately, I am not sewing it for selling. I am fine if someone sew it for you
Happy crafting!
Luv you…luv you. I adore your website very much. Count on my lucky star to stumble upon your site…wonderful site !
Thanks for this sweet compliment
Hello! Thank you so much for this wonderful blog! I just adore you bunny sachets and have a question for you – can I make them for sale? I’m already found a lady,who sales the same sachets on Etsy.com and on her page she said,that all rights reserved by her. So,my question is: pattern of this lovely bunny sachets is your creation and can legally she has all rights for this?
Thank you,
Lesya.
I have no problem if it is your own handmade. Just don’t sell the pattern and tutorial and/or use any of my photo for your business.
Thank you so much! You have a really interesting blog. Keep it up! And I wish you many new and interesting ideas.
Lesya.
Wow! I am so happy that I found your page. Great respect for you on your fine crafting skills and fantastic tutorials, particularly a fellow Malaysian. Your family is very blessed to have you. Keep up the good work.
Sylvia
thank you
Where can I purchase the Rafia Yarn to make the beach bag that you gave the tutorial for? I love the bag & the color choice you made.
Hi Lana,
I don’t know where to buy outside Malaysia and Singapore. If you have friends in these 2 countries and they can buy for you then I can give you the name of the shop that sell them.
Great job! Congratulations! Maria from Greece.
Really, glad to stumble on your website. Your tutorials are absolutely amazing and you put them up just to share with everyone! You have indeed inspired as well as encouraged me. Trully you are Craft Passion! Thank you
Where are some shops that sell the raffia yarn in Singapore?
Could I please have their information? Phone Number; e-mail address.
Thank you so much,
Hi Debbie, I saw Golden Dragon sells it but not sure if they are exactly the same yarn I used.
Where did you buy the yarn that you used? Do they have a web site or can you buy it & ship it to me in USA?
Thanks so much,
Debbie
Thanks for the information! Where did you purchase the yarn that you used? Can you send it to me in the USA?
Thank YOu
Debbie, I bought them at the local yarn shop here. Sorry, they don’t do oversea delivery. Perhaps you can try the link in the above comments (Golden Dragon) and ask if they can ship to you.
Thank you so much for showing how to make yarn from old tee shirts. I volunteer at our church thrift shop and we get tons of old tees that are torn and worn. I hate to throw them away, so this will give me something to do with them that is both crafty and green. Thank you again, Maggie
Parabéns muito lindo seu site tudo de muito bom gosto,
Felicidades pra você.

Hi! I’m so glad I found your website accidentally.
It’s really awesome you share crafts and recipes for free!! Thank you for sharing. I soooo love your site. 
)
Hi Joanne! I love your website and it’s a great source of inspiration for me to create new crafts on a weekly basis. I just tried the sock bunny and adjusted some parts of it to suit what I wanted to create and it’s awesome! Next I’m gonna try is the macaroon purse…love your site!!
You re so talented..How Lucky I am to find your blog
You have so many cute things to make on your site. I can’t wait to make them for gifts for my family and friends.
I love the zipper pulls on the zippers you use. I can’t find them anywhere here in USA. By chance would your supplier sell them on-line?
Try Etsy.com, I think you should be able to find them. Otherwise, I will need to ask my local supplier if they are able to ship to you.
I am trying to find the raffia yarn used to make the Straw Beach Bag but can’t find the raffia yarn. What brand did you use and where did you get the yarn if you don’t mind my asking. Thank you.
The one I bought is from local yarn shop, not popular and has no online store. I saw a few from online, quite expensive but the material is softer. Please try Manila Hem Yarn from Japan, it is very good but pricey.
You can acquire my local shop and see if they can deliver to you, http://www.facebook.com/yiyicraft?sk=wall
I love your Straw Beach Bag and Straw Sun Hat- Can you send me the raffia yarn .. ? Let me know how this could be done? Price and shipping costs.. Thank you
Hi Pam, Please ask my local shop if they can take your order. You can contact them through http://www.facebook.com/yiyicraft?sk=wall. Thanks.
Hi there – delighted to have stumbled over your website: am feedling a bit sorry for myself though – wanted to make the zip-itself-coin purse – and everything is inches and not centimeters – that’s sad… Such an easy thing to take along on vacation – can you maybe add measurements in cm? Cheers and kind regards Sarah – Copenhagen
Hi Sarah, I understand how is it to see the measurement in Imperial unit, I will try to state the measurement in SI / metric unit for the future post. I have a conversion tool that you could use to convert which ever unit you need, the link is at the very top of the page, next to “contact us”.
I absolutely adore your blog and cute patterns, thank you so much for sharing them with us for free!! I was just wondering do you have any patterns for a pencil case or small wash bag ? Thankyou !!!
You read my mind, Rachel. I am designing a pencil case now. The pattern and tutorial should be available in 2 weeks.
YAY!!
I can’t wait !!!!
thank you for your patterns & tutorials. you are nice.
Hi!
Thank you for this wonderful site! I love it!
I read above that it is ok to sell creations made out of your patterns. As long as we don’t use your pictures or sell your patterns. Is that true? That’s amazing! I LOVE everything you create here! This is my new favorite website
Hi Joanne,
Thanks for your free crafting website, happened to chance upon your website while doing a google search on stuffs. IT’s amazing !
However, may i ask where do you get these fabrics from, or rather which country? Cause i am from Singapore.
Thanks.
Errin
You can get similar fabric at People’s Park, there are at least 2 shops there selling these fabrics
Happy shopping!
Hi Joanne,
I love the yellow and grey sock monkey. Can you tell me where to get those socks? Thank You,
Jeannette
You can buy the socks at Aeon Jusco, Malaysia.
Hi Joanne,
Thanks for sharing your craft projects. I tried to make the zip-itself tetrahedron coin purse but the end result was a square-ish shaped one hehehe. Will try to make it right next time.
Cheers,
Hi Joanne,
I really love ur blog. im very happy and feel very lucky to found ur blog and very glad that u are a Malaysian. Where did u ussually shop for materials for ur craft?
I source from all over the world, so I can’t tell you exactly where I bought them
Bonjour,
Je vous contacte pour savoir s’il serait possible d’avoir les explications concernant la fabrication du panier en chanvre au crochet en français. Merci d’avance.
Translation (by Google):
Hello,
I am contacting you to know if it would be possible to have the explanation of the production of hemp basket hook in French. Thank you in advance.
Sorry, Martine, I can’t read and write French.
hello,
I like this website very much,especially the pompom scarf tutorial,thanks for sharing…
I’m just wonder where could I found that kind of wool,do u have any suggestion?
thanx
Hi Joanne!
It’s a lucky day for me to have found your blog. And I’m so happy and surprised at the same time that you’re also from Malaysia. I thought at first that you’re from the US. I love the layout of your blog, it’s so nice and so professional, and most specially your tutorials. Thank you so much for giving us these free tutorials and patterns specially coming from someone in this country. God bless.
Wow, I am so delighted to find your blog! It’s all over Pinterest you know:), too. I have thought about making the crocheted rug with clothesline material. Is it really tough on the hands? I have a little arthritis but I crochet fine with yarn. Just wondering. Thanks so much for all the work you put into your blog and at the same time having fun with your two kids!
You need some wrist powers to do this project and I think that it could be taxing to you if you have arthritis.
Perhaps you could try to crochet it with T-shirt yarn, but the size could be vary.
Hello, found your blog by incidentally,,, how lucky!!! you’re so cool, so talented.. may I respect you as teacher? thank you so much for sharing your amazing crafts.
Wondering if you had given a source for the great zippers with pulls??
Thanks!
I will get my shop partner to email you about this.
Joanne I love your website ! I just came across it today and I’m so glad I did. There are so many things to make I don’t know where to start. Everything you make is so beautiful. Very creative and innovative.
I also read up on your about me and you’re one my role models now. I aspire to be an engineer in the future.
Hi Joanne:
I love your website and thank you so much for your generosity in posting tutorials. I especially love the sock monkey tutorial. My husband is a big, grouchy-looking Harley motorcycle rider (but he is secretly extremely sweet) and when I showed him the pictures of the sock monkeys, he loved them!! Cracked me up to see him smile like that. I look forward to making a number of items you have here on the website. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
Hi Connie, thanks and you make me smile while reading your comment here. I am so glad to make a macho man like your husband to love them too. Hope to see your sock monkey soon
Love and gratitude for your creations to make, esp the turtle pincushion, love it
What a wonderful site. Thank you for sharing your talents, have seen some items I will try to make with your help.
Enjoy the coming holiday

Hi, thanks for your prompt reply.
Can you recommend any craft shop around JB? I am looking for Japanese cotton to sew bag and I will prefer and go and choose for myself.
Do you know how to sew bag by using recycle t-shirt?
Once again, thanks for your reply
Sorry, I am not familiar with places in JB

Words could not express the gratitude for your generous efforts on such a fantastic blog. I am just getting back into sewing after a long time away from it and so much appreciate your awesome tutorials and patterns. by far the best anywhere. Thanks and congratulations on sharing your love and inspiration.
Wow, you’re an amazing and talented person. Where do u find the time with such a hectic schedule?
Hi Joanne,
I read some of your answers in that you get some of your supplies from YiYi in Penang. Would you know of a similar shop in KL as well? I love to try to make a woven bag. Thanks in advice.
Hi Angelina, Sorry to tell you that I am not familiar with shops in KL. I heard from a fan that there is a shop in Sungai Wang that sells yarn, perhaps you can try your luck there.
Hi Joanne,
Thanks. I hope I can get it from sungai wang.
Hi Joanne,
I love your website. You use quality pictures, with great instruction.
It’s all done so professionally. Your site is far better than any other craft sites I’ve seen. Thanks so much for sharing, I will be on here often.
