[Crafts] Beary Naise x Tiny Rabbit Hole: A Magical Rainbow Unicorn Bag Crochet + Sewing Workshop Collaboration
We held the most amazing Magical Rainbow Unicorn Tote Crochet + Sewing workshop with the people at Tiny Rabbit Hole over the weekend! Next session is on 7th February 2018 – more details and sign up here!
Oh my gosh, January’18 was like a whirlwind that flew past in a flash! I literally had only 3-4 hours of sleep per night preparing for sewing workshops at Beary Naise. Just last weekend, we held back-to-back workshops and it was exhausting to say the least – having to carry 6 sewing machines, luggage, iron, ironing board from venue to venue. (Thank you Hammy for being my muscleman!!) But it was all so fun! I have no words to describe (because it’s 2am in the morning right now and my brain is a little bonkers, hehe), but there is something so special and spontaneous when like-minded people come together to create something extraordinary.
Sharing the story behind the Unicorn Mini Tote
Remember how I went for Tiny Rabbit Hole’s amigurumi workshop back in June 2017? That was the first time I met Angie and team. During that time, I had started conducting home-based sewing workshops and I was really impressed with their crochet workshops. I thought it would be awesome if one day we could collaborate. But after the amigurumi workshop, I went on to do my own things, and the idea fell to the back of my mind. Then a couple of months later, my primary school friend, Wai Ji, linked us up again by mentioning to me that Angie was her secondary school friend when she was doing her own project of consolidating a list of Creatives in Singapore. What a coincidence! I then talked to Wai Ji about the possibility of a collab between our two studios, but not knowing TRH well enough, and how to approach them, I was rather hesitant, and it went to the back of my mind again.
Angie and I. CNY greetings with our Unicorn Tote!
Some weeks later, I met Angie again at DMC x Swarovski trade event! It must have been fate. We sat next to each other this time and chatted a bit more! Hehe then after that meeting, I finally plucked my courage to initiate the possibility of a collaboration. Then the rest, they say, is history. =)
Find out how long we took to conceptualised the Magical Rainbow Unicorn Tote.
Angie has also written about why you should attend this limited edition workshop, plus provided a free “Kam” amigurumi pattern over at the Tiny Rabbit Hole blog!
Sewing + Crochet bootcamp at Chinatown!
This fusion workshop was held at Tiny Rabbit Hole‘s shophouse studio on Smith Street. It was super cosy and comfortable (has to be because it is a full-day workshop from 11am to 7pm!). Participants started with either sewing the tote, or crocheting the Unicorn features first, then switch.
Isn’t their studio pretty? They also stock a variety of yarn not easily found in Singapore.
Which is more therapeutic, Crocheting or Sewing? If you haven’t tried either, come for our fusion workshop to get your hands working!

Thank you for such amazing company!
Never thought such a feat would be feasible. Without Tiny Rabbit Hole‘s spontaneity and fun energy to try this out with us, we would not have been able to achieve this never-before-seen crochet and sewing workshop. <3 Thank you.
Our next workshop is on 7th February 2018, Wednesday, to be held at Funan Showsuite. If you’re interested in joining us, sign up here and be infected with the fun of crochet and sewing too! We promise you will not regret it. Hehe. The participants all gave 100% satisfaction thumbs up!!

Here’s what to take note if you’re considering HUAWEI Mate 10.
You can be sure to be granted a superior user-experience on the Mate 10, with the all-new Kirin 970 processor powering breakthroughs in AI, such as a speedier response time, and real-time language translation that you can achieve without an internet connection! This will be very handy for overseas trips.
I really like HUAWEI’s partnership with Leica for their camera lens. The HUAWEI Mate 9 already boasts unprecedented detailed photography with its Dual Lens Camera. Building on that quality, the Mate 10’s Leica dual lens camera has been enhanced with Real-time Scene and Object Recognition AI. The AI has the ability to capture up to 13 different subjects in the surroundings, and modify picture settings to produce excellent clarity. No more blurry photos!
If you give presentations regularly, you will love its ‘Plug-and-play’ virtual PC experience with the Easy Projection feature! Simply use a USB-C-to-HDMI cable or adaptor to project your phone screen to a computer screen. The smart thing is that personal calls, messages, and notifications will only appear on the phone screen to prevent interruptions, so you may conduct your presentations without worry.
Finally, what about battery life? The HUAWEI Mate 10 uses a large 4000mAh high-capacity battery with fast-charging function. Just 30mins will get you up to a full day’s worth of usage. The AI plays its part here by monitoring and customising the battery settings to suit user behaviour, thereby maximising battery life without effort!
