Biasanya Q bisa dengan mudah merelakan barang-barang yang udah nggak terpakai lagi diberikan ke orang lain. Kali ini ada satu baju yang entah kenapa nggak mau dia lepas. Padahal dia tau itu udah nggak muat. Setelah beberapa kali dibahas, kita sampai pada kesimpulan, kayaknya dia nggak mau lepas karena si piyama ini ada gambar mobilnya. Dan kebetulan memang nggak banyak bajunya yang bergambar mobil, hahaa..

Karena saya tetep nggak mau nyimpen barang yang nggak kepake (kecuali yang bersejarah banget, heheee), akhirnya kita bikin kesepakatan bersama. Gimana kalau kita keep mobilnya aja, bajunya nggak? Kita rubah si baju mobil jadi bantal mobil aja! Dia mah iya iya ajaaa ternyata, yang penting si mobil tetep ada.. Yuk ah bebikinan!

Bahannya gampang, baju bekas si kecil atau mama atau papanya yang bahannya kaos (bahan katun bisa juga sih, cobain aja deh pokoknya ya..) dan ada gambarnya. Nggak mesti mobilan ya moms! Bisa binatang atau buah atau apapun favorit si unyil. Yang penting si gambarnya cukup besar untuk dijadiin bantal kicik buat mainan bocah.

Lainnya cuma gunting kain, jarum pentul, dakron (bahan isian boneka), jarum sama benang jahit biasa aja. Warna benang disesuaikan aja sama warna kaosnya. Di sini saya pakenya jahit manual alias pake tangan, soalnya nggak punya mesin jahit khusus bahan kaos. Udah dicoba pake mesin jait yang ada di rumah tapi nggak bisa jalan ternyata.. hihiii..

OK! Let's get it started..

Gunting sekeliling gambar yang ada pada kaos. Beri jarak sekitar 2.5-3 cm, biar pas dijahit nanti nggak terlalu mepet sama gambarnya. Gunting juga bagian lain dari kaos mengikuti pola pertama. Kalau gambarnya tadi di depan kaos, berarti gunting juga bagian belakangnya, begitu sebaliknya.

Balik bagian depan dan belakang lalu tempel sementara dengan jarum pentul. Bagian gambar sekarang ada di dalam. Jahit sekeliling potongan kaos, tapi sisakan bukaan sedikit pada bagian bawah gambar. Bukaan ini fungsinya untuk nanti masukin dakron, jadi pastiin cukup besar biar gampang nanti masukin stuffing-nya.

Setelah selesai, balik kaos hingga gambar ada di luar. Masukkan dakron secukupnya. Bagian ini si kecil bisa ikutan, minta dia untuk masukin dakron sampai menurutnya cukup enak untuk si plushie diuwel-uwel nantinya.

Setelah dakronnya sudah cukup banyak, jahit sisa bukaan tadi. Kalau bingung gimana cara jait bukaannya supaya nggak keliatan, cek video tutorial ini yaa. And it would be totally fine if you couldn't perfectly close it. Anak-anak juga nggak bakal protes kok.. Yang penting si bukaannya ketutup cukup rapat biar dakronnya nggak nongol ke luar dari si boneka.

Tadaaaaa~

Jadi deh si plushie mobil mini buat diunyel-unyel atau buat dimainin bareng mobilan lainnya..

Selamat bebikinan yah moms! Jangan lupa tag hasil bebikinannya ke @prytaaa di Instagram, atau share di sini link ke blognya.. ;)

Weekend Getaway - Pesona Alam Resort and Spa, Bogor.

Bogor December 02, 2016

We spent a night at Pesona Alam few weeks ago. S had to work on Sunday so we decided to come so we could still spend our weekend together. Me and Q had fun around the resort while S was dealing with meeting and stuff at the Clubhuis.

We came on breakfast time, had some toast, sausage, bacon, nasi goreng, cereal and juices (you can find various dish on their breakfast time, from salad or toast to soto and dim sum), enjoy the view, and then went to the hotel room. It was raining and I was still too exhausted to do anything so we stayed at the room for a while. Q played with his Lego and I could have a nice warm cup of coffee. Anyway, we put all of his everyday Lego in one ready-to-go box so we can just grab it and go whenever we think we need it. It's one of my favorite parent life hack, hahaa..

When the rain was calming down, we went outside the room and looked what's nearby. The view was so amazing! Definitely one of the best place to spend your weekend getaway after some very hectic days in the city.

There were so many things you can do at Pesona Alam Resort and Spa. They have swimming pools next to the Restaurant with a gorgeous view. There also a very nice synthetic lawn with a mini soccer goal on one side and sofas on the other side.

They kinda have a kids club, with some children's book, toys and stuff. But there was no one there to watch or took after your children so you have to do it yourself. Well it's more like a small kids room tho.

Right beside the kids room is a fitness room and a set of table tennis game on the terrace. So whenever you found yourself stuck in the hotel area in a super rainy day, you still have so many options about what to do to spend the rest of the day.

There used to be a bamboo playground next to the pool area, but I think due to the quite extreme weather lately in Puncak, the bamboo playground was damaged quite badly. There was also a fun big trampoline beside the playground.

We spent half of day-2 in the forest near the Clubhuis outside the Hotel before we went back to Bandung. Q really loves the forest! The ground, the trees, the flowers, and not to mentions the pine cones. He keeps on running and jumping and climbing and rolling around the ground.
