DIY Make-Up Zipper Pouch

  I made an easy make-up zipper pouch using leftover fabrics and was happy with the result. The final size was 26 cm x 12 cm. It's lovely, fluffy, useful and big enough to store all my makeup and skincare products.  Materials for the pouch: - Main fabric, lining and polyester batting, 40 cm x 50 cm. - Fabric tags (2x), 9 cm x 10 cm. - Bias tape band, 6 cm wide. - Zipper The sewing process started with topstitching (quilt style) the main fabric and polyester batting together.

swing dress 08/2012 pattern
I am working on this dress today, named Swing Dress 08/2012 from Burdastyle. The original dress has a small cap sleeves, side panels shape bust and gathered skirt. I used my striped jersey knit that already stay inside my stash for so long waiting for me to sew.
The most I love on this dress is the lovely side panels shape bust. But a small sleeves cap is not something that flattering me, so I will change with a normal short sleeves.

I used size 34 for the top pattern and size 36 for the skirt pattern. So I have to extend the top waist line to match the two pattern together. I also have to shorten the length of the skirt. Making a short sleeves pattern, I mean copying the short sleeve pattern from the previous project:)))
I hope my dress will turn up perfect.

...happy sewing...
