Bio
“Sekoci” is the Malay word for
bobbin, and Norlie is what I am always known of. Why I choose bobbin? Apart for
sounding ‘cute’, “sekoci” also symbolizes my passion in sewing. Bobbin is an
integral part of a sewing machine, and as much as the machines couldn’t live
without the bobbin, I believe I have the same amount of passion in sewing too.
My full name is Norliza
Samingon, a 34 years old working mothers with 2 lovely kids, Ridwana Rif’iah
Rafiq (9) and Muhammad Rizqin Rafiq (4). I’m currently working at one of the
biggest IT Company in Cyberjaya, Malaysia as Engineer for VOIP
(Voice over IP) and IPT (IP Telephony) and support worldwide of user. Before
that, I was working in Internet security environment at one of the biggest
telecommunication company at Technology Park Malaysia over the last 7 years. I
graduated from Open University Malaysia in Bachelor of Information Technology.
After I gave birth and brought my baby for monthly check up, I brought along some unfinished pages of the book to sew during the waiting period. It later gained some attentions from other parents, and they showed their interests over the book. From that day forward, I begin receiving requests from friends and colleagues to sew the baby books for them. They stated that the books were more personalized and more memorable.
I then started to expand my sewing skills towards other types of crafts as well. I created some hair accessories using felt. At first it was for my daughter, but then she was kind enough to spread the words to everyone she sees (teachers, friends and even strangers) about her hand-made crafts made by her mother.
I strongly believe that items that are made with love are the items that will be appreciated most. I create with love. Each item that I made is always made from the heart. I spend a lot of time creating and perfecting my items. I focus on details, quality, and trying to create something unique, that you won’t find somewhere else. I try my best to make my craft different from others crafters so they would me more personalized, exclusive and unique.
What is Felt
Felt is a type of non-woven cloth that is produced by matting, condensing and pressing woolen fibers. While some types of felt are very soft, some are tough enough to form construction materials. Felt can be of any color, and made into any shape or size. Currently I’m using 2 type of felt one is 100% polisher and another one is acrylic.
2. What does (company) do, specifically for children?
It is always such a joy to see happy faces wearing something that you made. However, what makes it more joyous to me is when seeing little kids made efforts to create their own felt craft.
I’ve organized felt workshops for kids and teenagers and surprisingly, children enjoy sewing very much, provided that we give them proper guidance. There was always a preconception of children not being able to do delicate jobs like sewing. However, from previous experience, it was proven that sewing does not only help them to develop their concentration skills, but also improve their creativity. Threading needles, making stitches and working with both hands would also help these children to develop coordination skills. And interestingly, sewing projects would also help children improve their numeracy skills – measuring fabric, counting stitches and working out the sizes for example, would be able to help children to polish their mathematical knowledge.
