Pakaian Warisan Budaya Malaysia

Baju kurung Teluk Belanga juga lebih dikenali sebagai baju kurung atau baju kurung Johor. Baju ini boleh dipakai oleh kaum lelaki dan wanita.

Baju Kurung Teluk Belanga
Dari segi sejarahnya, baju ini mula dipakai pada zaman pemerintahan Sultan Johor, iaitu Almarhum Sultan Abu Bakar yang bersemayam di Teluk Belanga, Singapura pada sekitar tahun 1800-an. Justeru itulah ia dipanggil Baju Kurung Teluk Belanga dan ia juga merupakan pakaian kebangsaan orang Melayu Johor. Sejak itu pemakaian baju ini telah berkembang ke negeri-negeri lain di Tanah Melayu. Baju kurung merupakan pakaian kebangsaan rakyat Malaysia dan banyak dipakai dalam majlis-majlis rasmi. Baju Kurung Teluk Belanga adalah labuh, dan potongannya longgar kerana dirusuknya berpesak dan di bawah lengannya pula diletakkan kekek. Potongan lehernya bulat dan berbelah di depan. Pada sekeliling tebukan lubang leher itu, jahitan tulang belut digunakan bagi mengemas dan memperkukuhkan lagi leher baju tersebut. Baju kurung teluk belanga yang dipakai oleh kaum lelaki dan wanita pada dasarnya adalah sama kecuali;
a) Baju yang dipakai oleh lelaki labuhnya adalah separas punggung, alas lehernya lebar dan mempunyai tiga kocek iaitu di dada kiri, di dada kanan dan di bahagian bawah hadapan baju, manakala baju kurung yang dipakai oleh kaum wanita pula labuhnya hingga ke lutut dengan satu kocek di dada kiri atau pun tanpa kocek.
b) Kaum lelaki memakai baju ini dengan seluar panjang samada seluar Acheh atau Seluar panjut Kaum wanita pula memadankannya bersama kain samada kain dari jenis batik, songket atau sutera. Kain ini pula diikat dengan ikatan yang bernama ombak mengalun, iaitu dengan lipatan-lipatan yang letaknya di rusuk kanan atau kiri. Kepala kain sarung lazimnya diletakkan ke belakang apabila dipakai dengan baju kurung ini.
Pada masa dahulu, wanita Johor memadankan baju kurung dengan kain dagang luar, iaitu sehelai kain sarung yang pada asalnya digunakan sebagai kain kelubung untuk menudung kepala dan berlindung dari cahaya matahari apabila keluar berjalan. Kain dagang luar ini dikenakan di pinggang seperti kain samping lelaki dengan ombak-ombaknya di bawa ke rusuk kiri dan disaukkan pada lengan atau dipegang dengan tangan. Kain mantul, iaitu sehelai selendang pendek yang bertekat dengan kelingkan emas biasanya akan disangkutkan ke bahu apabila si pemakai mengenakan baju kurung dengan kain dagang luar ini. Walaubagaimanapun, baju kurung pada hari ini tidak lagi dipakai dengan kain-kain tradisional sebegini yang lazimnya hanya digunakan oleh masyarakat Melayu zaman dahulu.

Folded Hexagon Needlebook

starts out with a simple triangle.


Using 2 coordinating fabrics, cut 3 triangles from each print.


Let me start out by saying that I am not a quilter so I do not know the proper order to join pieces and also which direction to press seams. I just do it my own way and so far it has worked out for me. So all you quilters out there, do it your way, the right way. And most of all, do not burst out in laughter at the way that I have pieced and pressed this, okay? Well, maybe a quiet chuckle will be alright. LOL

Join the 6 triangles to form a hexagon.


After all 6 pieces have been joined together, use it as a pattern to cut out a matching hexagon that will be used for the back of the needlebook.


Now to the folding of the pieced hexagon...

With the wrong side facing up, fold one point of the hexagon up to the center. Press in place.


Bring the 2nd point to the center; press.


Bring the 3rd point to the center; press.


Bring the 4th point to the center; press.


Bring the 5th point to the center; press.





Complete the hexagon for the back of the needlebook in the same way as the front.


To stabilize the front and back covers of the needlebook, cut 2 hexagons from either cardboard, heavy interfacing or plastic canvas. Use the completed folded hexagon as a pattern. Trim each hexagon 1/8" smaller on all 6 sides. Cut an opening in the center of the cardboard.


Using the cardboard hexagon as a pattern, cut 2 double hexagons from wool felt that are attached on one side. You can achieve this by placing one of the 6 sides on a fold. You may need to further trim the sides of hexagon once it is sewn into the needlebook. Wait until the book is completed before doing so. Set both felt hexagons aside.


Unfold both folded hexagons. Pin right sides together.


You will be attaching both hexagons by sewing it together in one of the creases as shown. This will become the spine of the book.


I realize that it is difficult to see exactly where to attach the hexagons so I have created a paper diagram to make it easier. Sew the hexagons together in the area indicated by the heavy line.


Place the attached hexagons onto a flat surface with right side facing up. Center both pieces of felt onto the attached hexagons and pin in place.


Attach the felt by sewing machine, stitching in the ditch so that the outside of your book will have a neat appearance.


Center the cardboard hexagons onto the wrong sides of the attached hexagons. Refold both hexagons using the creases that were previously made.


I find it easier to pin each fold as I go along. Hand tack the points in place by taking small stitches in the center. Remove pins. Sew on a decorative button, feeding the needle and thread through the hole in the cardboard center. Do this on both the front and back covers.


A look at the inside of the needlebook. I would recommend trimming the felt to fit neatly inside of the needlebook. As you can see, this one still needs a trim to even it out a bit.


Voila! A completed needlebook to carry along with your sewing projects.


Here is a needlebook that I completed in July of last year. All 6 segments are made from different fabrics. It is also heavily beaded because I love beads. Keep in mind that you can embellish and personalize your needlebook to your liking.


Have fun!

Flower Hair Pins




You will need five 2" X 2" fabric squares, a 5/8" circle of felt, and a bobby pin. You will also need a hot glue gun, two buttons, and a needle and thread.


*To create the petals, place the first fabric square onto an ironing surface, right side facing down.
*Fold one side to the center, press flat.
*Fold the other side to the center, press flat.
*Fold the raw edges together. Do not press. This will make the petals too flat. Repeat with the rest of the petals.


With needle and thread, take a running stitch at the raw edge of the first petal.
Repeat until you have all 5 petals on the thread.


Tie both ends of the thread together to form a circle of petals.


Sew a coordinating stack of buttons to the center of the flower.


Slide the felt round between both prongs of the bobby pin, crinkled side of the pin facing up.


Place a small glob of hot glue onto the center of the felt circle.


Glue the bobby pin to the back of the flower, concealing the raw edges.


There you have it. This is so simple that you'll probably want to make oodles.
Done...

UJIAN KELAYAKAN PPT










Khazanah Minda Politik Melayu

PANAS: KAK JAT SINSING LEGAN…WAN AZIZAH SINSING APA!!?


Serangan bertubi puak-puak haprak keatas Ketua Wanita UMNO, Sharizat Abdul Jalil sedikit pun beliau tidak melatah dan jauh sekali menyembunyikan diri. Wanita yang ala-ala gadis pakistan ini ternyata menerima tohmahan dengan hati terbuka dan menunggu masa sesuai untuk melancarkan serangan balas terhadap mulut-mulut busuk Pakatan Tipu Rakyat.
Nah!!!! Kak Jatt lantang menjawab balik segala fitnah dengan mencabar Ketua Wanita PKR, Zuraida Kamaruddin (MAK LAMPIR TUA GANYUT) supaya tampil mencabar Presiden partinya, Wan Azizah meletakkan jawatan-itu baru jaguh wanita. Segala isu berkaitan dengan National Feedlot Corperation (NFC) tiada kaitan dengannya dan NFC tiada masalah seperti fitnah yang disebarkan lembu-lembu Pakatan Tipu Rakyat.


Semalam Kak Jatt geram sampai sinsing legan baju kurungnya hingga nampak urat-urat dawai besi semasa dalam ucapan dasar Persidangan Wanita UMNO di Perhimpunan Agong UMNO 2011 di PWTC. Andailah lalu Mak Lampir Tua Ganyut semasa ucapannya itu masak asam kena libasan ala-ala kaki lembu Feedlot Bunting. He he he..
Gamat dewan bila Kak Jatt cabar Mak Lampir Tua Ganyut untuk menyuruh Wan Azizah letak jawatan kerana menjatuhkan maruah semua wanita kerana gagal mengawal permasalahan suaminya sebagai Ketua Umum PKR.
“Suruh dia desak Wan Azizah letak jawatan kerana suami beliau, ketua umum yang telah dihukum dan disabit kesalahan oleh pelbagai angkara yang saya tak sanggup cakap dengan mulut saya”.
Ok kita dah tengok Kak Jatt marah sampai menyinsingkan legan baju akibat tuduhan lembu keatasnya yang tiada asas…
Sekarang kita nak tengok Wan Azizah untuk menyinsing apa sahaja untuk mempertahankan suaminya yang bahan chinadoll dan Kunyit Hangit…

Gambar hiasan….hehehehe
