    Very useful. :D

    Lagi satu method I pernah buat is to iron-on fusible interfacing, then terus print and tak payah tanggalkan the interfacing. If you need the fabric to be sturdy it’s like killing 2 birds with one stone la. :)

    Boxy pouch tu macam best! Like using oilcloth.

    setuju dgn aneesah. kak ja pun guna iron-on tu la. tak pyh tanggal dah.. terus guna je.

    heee skin pon de pk ne iron-on tuh ehhehe senang sket kn hee its actually depends on your use hee skin nk ltk adhesive film.. so die dh stiff den kalo tmbh iron-on terlalu stiff lak hehehe but its good idea! hee

    to kak jaja: eh tanak swap design? hee

    to annesah: hehe kinda of~~ ssh nk dpt oil cloth kt mesia neh and its expensive. why not save more kn? hehe tp nk try lg 1 cara shambie ajar.. gne sling wrapper hee

    i use a Revlon RV408 hair dryer for myself and i like it better than Conair:.*

    when using hair dryers, it would be better to use those low wattage types because they are not very damaging to the hair ;:,
