DIY breast pump hands free adapter

Hi stranger....

I do not apologize for the lack of update. Hahaha... Bad blogger I am.

 ----- Have you missed us already ? ---

We had summer holiday due to long school holiday. Also the Hari Raya was coming so we were mad busy.

To make it up, here is long overdue tutorial. 

How to make breast pumping hands free adapter.

Breast pumping sucks... You feel like a cow. But we love our kids, right? So like it or not we keep pumping, yeah?

In order to make it a better experience, I distracted myself with many activities. Like reading news... Putting on some make ups while pumping... Bbm ... Chatting.... Blogging, anyone?

But wait... Do you hold your smartphone with your toes? 

Of course not...

And I don't spend much money on those adapter/connector as well. We make do with what we have lah...

This tutorial is available on YouTube by another person but I forgot whom. It has been a while. So I credit her for this idea. 

In order to make the adapter you will need 4 rubber bands. 2 for each flange. 

And I won't explain much in words here coz the pictures are self explanatory.

Geddit? 

Now go make one. 

I hope this tutorial is useful for you.

Love from mamaland,

Liz

Sewing fun

I never tought I would ever sew. Never really gave it a tought because i was too busy leading a corporate life. 

It all started when I delivered Number Three. I was in my mom's house as the due date was near the Eid holiday. That means no helper, and with two small kids, the safest is to be near her. Thanks Mom !

So it was a confinement period. And I couldn't leave the house. And I needed pillow cases for the baby very badly.  so I decided to DIY. 

I asked my driver to teach me how to use the machine. (Yes, I do have a chauffeur. Like most jakartans do)

Using a cute pajama I have owned the last 10 years. ha. That was even before I was married. Voila, they become the pillow case.

Wow, it is saving a lot of money. Using a sewing machine that travels between two homes (read: borrowed) I sew a few fun stuff. The internet is a powerful tool.  I learned how-to's from some awesome bloggers.

Here is a project I have done recently. 

This shirt is 6 Years old. And has accompanied me through 3 pregnancies.

Cut It in half. And sew an elastic in the waist.

It becomes a skirt and a cape for the girl.

She was so happy wearing them.  

How easy it is to please her. Haha.

Share with me your project if you have done similar thing.

Love, Liz
