DIY Make-Up Zipper Pouch

Image

Hello lovelies... Today post is a very quick update of my November sewing plan for make a garment a month challenge  hosted by Sarah Liz. I have chosen my fabrics and pattern. It will be a long sleeves shirt with two color combination, both of the fabrics are knit cotton - deep purple color and grey printed with purple leaves. For the pattern, I chose Burdastyle pattern - Paneled Jersey Shirt 10/2013 . The instructions said that I should use jersey knit fabric only, but I think my fabric choice will be good to make the shirt too. We will see... Wish me a good luck! ļ»æ my fabrics for the shirt
