Let's The Sewing Begin


This is what my Janome 4120QDC looks like. It is computerised. It comes with the extension table. A lot of decorative sewing, including letters and numbers. Now i can personalised my sewing. ^_^. On top of that I can sew without foot control, just need to press start n stop. Cool right!

I really couldn't wait for my fabrics and sewing tools to arrive from Singapore. I couldn't wait to start sewing. So I hunted for fabrics first. Buying fabrics in Toronto is really expensive and plus the 13% tax. Online.. i can find any better online fabric shop than Fabric.com but the shipping to Canada is more expensive than shipping to Singapore. Funny huh!.. We are just neighbour. *_*

Finally I  found the place where I can get cheaper and good fabric. It is Fabricland. It has all sorts of fabrics, Robert Kaufman, Michael Miller, Riley Blake, Benartex, etc. Howerver, this store doesn't have doesn't have online store  (how i wish they have it) so I have to go the store and grab it. I normally waited when there was a sale and sometimes it can be really cheap. Like these fabrics, i only bought it for $4/meter. ^_^.  I think it'll be my favourite store to go from now.

Can't wait to start my new project! There is always new sewing projects new house right. ^_^

My New Janome 4120Q

This is crazy! Lately we have been spending a lot for the furnitures, kitchen stuffs, autumn/ winter clothing's, etc and yet i also bought my new sewing machine. Janome 4120Q.

I can't wait to get my hands on my new Janome. This time i bought the one with extension table. But unfortunately all my sewing tools and fabrics have been shipped and they will arrived probably in early August. So i guess i have to wait till they arrive before start my new sewing project.

The sewing tools and fabrics here are super expensive. I would say it is more expensive than Singapore. It is just so strange, the tools and fabrics in America are so cheap and yet they are so expensive in Canada. They are just neighbors, just like Singapore and Malaysia. Moreover, there is 13% HST in Toronto. In my opinion that is high. Almost all things are expensive in Toronto compared to Singapore, except houses, cars, clothing, toys, public transport fare, etc.

Now i am still sourcing for a good fabric store. I just hope that they can make tax in Toronto cheaper so i buy more fabric.
