It is fascinating to me to see the culture influence through these very familiar day-to-day objects.

Matchbox - Collection

The round matchbox with giraffe and the small rectangular matchbox with Korean writing are matchboxes my friend Kyung got me from Korea. She also got me the fabric underneath. It is a Korean food cover fabric. My friend Yu got me the matchbox with clocks from Japan.
Matchbox - Malaysia

This one I brought back from Malaysia when I visited home early this year.

Finally, I used the sewing machine to make something. It took me a while. It wasn’t an easy process… I was struggling most of the time. Anyway, I am pleased that I managed to finish this cellphone pouch. It is a gift for my friend. Hopefully, she will like it. :0)

p/s: the button and the top purple border were handstitched.
